2011 Mazda Mazda2
With a spec sheet straight out of 1988, this 100 horsepower, 2200 pound hatchback is a great reminder of how much fun driving a slow car fast can be, so why not take it out to an autocross or HPDE event? We think this plucky little econobox has the potential to surprise. It’s also a great commuter and family runabout, delivering over 30 mpg from every tank of gas so far.
The only question is which class of SCCA Autocross should we play the underdog in? H Stock is an option, but we’re also interested in seeing gains from your standard Street Touring modifications-an intake here, cat back exhaust there, add shocks and a few weight saving modifications and who knows what can happen? The Mazda2 (also known as the Mazda Demio in some markets.) has a surprising motorsport pedigree, capturing victories in Gymkhana and Rally competition in Japan and Australia.

What's this?If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."
Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.
Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.
The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
