I gather there are lots of actual people in the world who aren't great at quickly adding up several numbers (even small ones) quickly in their heads. I wonder how many give up way before doing 20 sets of them...
For this ability, I have to thank the Champions RPG. When you're routinely rolling 10 or 12 d6 and adding them up, you can get really good at doing it fast.
 

This will be my third Mazda now, all bought new. 2008 Mazda5, 2015 Mazda5, and now the 2024 CX-30. The ZoomZoom is real.
I sold Mazdas(And Subarus) for a while. They are such great, but underrated vehicles. Especially the 5. The idea of a compact van is so neat. They were really hard sells though. Americans are obsessed with large vehicles. It's wild how often Young couples would come in with a sedan like an Accord or Camry, and saying they were having a (As in one.. Singular) kid, saying they just absolutely needed a three row SUV to accommodate their baby.

We got in a used 5 with a manual once, and knew it was going straight to auction because it was so ratty. I seriously considered picking it up as a beater.

I hope you love your CX-30.
 


Tag your threads correctly, folks. I don't ignore certain tags for my health.

Oh, wait, I do in fact ignore certain tags for my health. So, really, tag things correctly.
 

Remember the stories of left handed kids who got smacked on the hand every time they picked up a pencil with their left?

<Raises (left) Hand>
When I was starting to learn how to hold a spoon to eat, my mom would put the spoon in my right hand and I would immediately put it in my left. She immediately gave up and didn't fight me on it. My dad however decided he was going to teach me to be right handed and kept taking the spoon from me when I put it in my left hand and put it back in my right. I kept putting it back in my left and eventually got so frustrated with him taking it from me that I apparently threw the spoon at him and hit him in the face. He gave up and I grew up left handed.
 

My wife's car is in the shop. It has been in the shop for three weeks. Why? Because Toyota cannot get a battery from California to Massachusetts in any less time than that.
I've gotten custom motorcycle parts from Japan to Toronto in less time than that.

I loved my mini-minivan. The accessibility of the second row is great, with the sliding doors. The amount of space is ridiculous, even before dropping the second row seats, for such a relatively tiny vehicle. Two of my friends bought them because of me, when they never would have otherwise considered the 5.

Two things that I'll miss about the 5, in the CX-30, are the storage space and the extra 10L of fuel that the 5 has over the CX-30. Both are very convenient. It makes up for it in the electronics and a moderately better turning radius, which is really useful when you need to navigate claustrophobic downtown parking structures.

I really wish that North America had gotten the diesel 5, with towing hitch.
