I was driving along in our shop Fiat 124 Spider when I came across a Jeep Renegade.
So that's a Japanese car pretending to be Italian, and an Italian car pretending to be American. Then a Fiat 500 came along, which is an Italian car pretending to be a small Italian car.
Nobody is who they say they are!

Any wonder the children of today are so confused.
Im about to jump into my Australian Ford that's a Japanese Mazda.
Where will it end?
Whew! I was concerned that you were considering a sex-change operation!
That's why I mainly stick to Honda. They've only had a few of those mistakes like the Isuzu Rodeo. I like Subaru too and one of their mistakes was cool in the 9-2x.
My wife's saab 9-3 is a German-American car pretending to be a Swede. When will the madness end!
The rest of the fleet is pretty well grounded.

But that could possibly mean he'd be "available"...
This is just a desperate attempt to make it into say what.
In reply to 1988RedT2:
I mean he does stuff V8s into miatas so he's more the surgeon that performs the procedure.
So I've heard two things about you guys recently:
A) you're doing a v8 124
B) Mazda got upset with the v8 ND
care to elaborate?

The affordable Healthcare act covers a portion of the procedure
Hmm, come to think of it... I've got a Japanese sedan pretending to be an American pickup truck, a Japanese SUV that is really just an AWD station wagon, a German AWD station wagon that thinks it's a sports sedan and a German touring motorcycle that wants you to believe it's a jeep.

So Obama can help me get a v8 Fiat 124?
Careful... the PC police are on their way....
I don't care as long as it has rims and is grounded to the ground.

A) We'll do a V8 124 as soon as someone ponies up the money All the parts that differentiate it from the ND Miata are parts we tear out. Other than the body kit. So we know we can do it.
B) Mazda officially does not approve of the V8 ND. They officially do not find it funny or appropriate or a good idea. But Mazda employees do. We've been invited to stop by HQ next time we're in Irvine with the car.
I wonder if someone who wasn't as strongly associated with little girly cars would have garnered quite as much of a reaction from "identity crisis"? Which was, BTW, not intentional.
All my stuff is too old to have identity crisis, except the ram and that one according to the recent truck thread is a medium duty truck that thinks it's a pickup. And the little japanese car that makes angry v8 noises and thinks it's a muscle car.
It's not about what DNA the car was born with, it's how the car chooses to self-identify
Toyota cavalier...your opinion is invalid
