2011 Mazda 2 Touring: The Intimidator

ROFLMAO

The Gatling is a nice touch. I'd like to see it murdered out, with at least a 6" lift, and yeah the spiked rims sound cool too.

Otherwise I'd have to agree that whoever said "Put it in the Raptor or have it follow the Raptor around" had the right idea.

What's the BPG rating of that gatling, though? That's "Bullets to the gallon", by the way. *nods*

Wow; what a real "man" he is. Next time bring home the Viper or Raptor and see what he does then (assuming you ever see him again....)

Also, they spit on the car? Seriously? How old was the driver, 12?

Keep buying and promoting those Raptors... Soon enough the smallest car in the US will have an 18 liter V12 and 18 wheels.

@vvk:
You say that like it's a bad thing!

He was just pissed that he bought a Terrain and can't achieve 32 MPG.

Seriously though, WTH is wrong with people...

Is it too much to ask for a frickin Mazda 2 with a frickin laser attached to its frickin roof?

But serious the spiting thing is where I would have a hard time not jumping out my car and confronting the driver in an aggressive fashion.

I think it was just an average insecure LA Jerk:) I usually avoid them. In fact, I think that in the whole LA county full size SUVs should be banned to decrease traffic and parking problem.

He's stuck with a slow-as-hell Terrain (I-4 or V6, doesn't matter), while you can drive home some of the neatest cars ever made.
Who is the loser here?

I agree, bring home the Raptor and track his ass down! >:O

Guys who drive (bigger) cars like they own the road are only compensating for other areas where they are lacking.

Find the Chevy Terrain and matchstick the tires. No real damage done, just major inconvenience.

Oh - and flame throwers. Definitely flame throwers. Oh, and a gun rack, NRA sticker, and one of those stickers of the kid pissing on the Chevy bow-tie.

Better yet, post his license plate here and we can exact some 4chan justice for you.
It would be unfortunate if he finds his car swimmin' with the fishes in the East River....

Power windows and a pistol with a ten-round clip are all I need, thanks.

She's talking about James Riswick, people. It was a joke.

wait after reading the previous post and this one i would swear it was the IL staff terrain that almost hit you lol. described a white Mazda ? he wasn't sure and it was in an alley. and they were choking and spat out the window??? coincidence?? too many

I get that sort of treatment all the time from people in those mini SUVs. They do things like squeeze infront of me when there's no space to make a lane change. Most of them don't know it's a speed 3 not a regular Mazda. I just repass them later or shug and keep cruising along with my boost and blood pressure low.

People in big cars that drive aggressively without any reasons have issues so why get all worked up.

ahh ok now it all makes sense.

oh i see... IL pwned me

I think in retaliation James should be forced to drive the terrain for a month, or do a sparkplug swap on a subaru.

Can we still have a frickin Mazda 2 with a frickin laser attached to its frickin roof?

Just wondering...

This is an occasion to pull your Glock out of its underseat holster and teach the young man something about civility and public behavior that his liberal parents obviously failed to.

Actually, Riswick was kidding. My encounter really did happen with a bully.

The other did all that, to what, save 10 seconds? What a jagoff.

Someone in Santa Monica area please come to Caroline's rescue. This guy must be brought to justice and forced to drive a smart car for an entire year!

All that being said, I think the car looks better with red headlights...and often I find waving and smiling at the offender draws weird looks, then take out your phone and take a picture of the license plate.

If this seriously happened, it's messed up, What is his problem? Someone piss in his Starbucks? Lame, Caroline deserves better.

The Terrain driver was obviously compensating for certain shortcomings with the overly large grille of his vehicle.

Glad you survived his Terrain of Terror.

Takahashi, what, no a flamethrower?!

@old_volvo, a Smart car with the Hello Kitty package.

It took me a second to recognize the reversed lower intake so instead of smiling it's scowling!!! hahaha... I love it!

It needs some wheel spikes.

Oh man I love that picture.

I got into a conversation while ordering something about random acts of vandalism with a sales lady in CT that was originally from Texas. She said the stuff I described- a kid on a skateboard spat on my car and smashed the back windshield in before taking off while I was in the car- never happened in Texas. With the right to carry, you'd either get shot or threatened with guntastic injury and no one would sweat it either. But in New Haven, she said stuff like that would happen more frequently.

It's West Hollywood.
Maybe the spitting is a term of endearment there..

All the respect to you for not jumping out of your car and flailing your arms aghast in disbelief. Living in Washington DC and driving a Protege5 gives me first hand experiences similar to yours. I never had someone spit on my car in my presence, but I have had someone spit in on my forehead during an argument. Usually I defer to SUV drivers no matter what. Sometimes this puzzles them and they end up defering to me. Other times they are jealous of the economy and versatility of a hatchback so they act out on their jealousy by accelerating harder or merging into the same lane I am driving. When us hatchback drivers do not respond to their negativity they lose and we win.

anyone who spits on the another car whether or not its occupied at the time is a complete piece of garbage in my opinion... its nuts

A lot of Volvo and suv drivers are assholes. I can forgive Volvo owners though because most of the time they are clueless.

The Mazda 2 still looks like a piece of turd even after the face lift.

I'm watching the Top Gear Police Car challenge right now, so I have a solution: "Boudicea" wheel covers!

Really, a guy trying to be tough in a Terrain? AKA he couldnt afford a Tahoe so he went with the Terrain to try and be a tough and masculine. HA. What a douche.

ergsum definitely deserves a +1 for
"Glad you survived his Terrain of Terror."

I think you should take the Edmudns Terrain, cut its top off and put it on a stick to show others Terrains not to mess with the Mazda 2. j/k it is too messy.

All you need to do to toughen the 2 is put a NRA sticker in the rear window and get a license plate frame that says "My other car is a Desert Eagle .50 Caliber"....but the chain saws and gatling gun are a nice touch.

This really made me chuckle. LOL!

Spitting on your car? People have totally lost it!

People are just a**holes. You guys need an Edmunds junker so you can just give off the "go ahead and hit me" look.

He's all high and mighty because he's rollin' in his 4 banger cute-ute? ( No offense to Terrain owners, I do like the Terrain ). What a joke. If someone spit on my car, I would flip out. Not because it's something special, but because it's my friggin' car.

Give it the Death Race treatment...twin AA-12s on the hood, a Thumper out back.

If someone spat on my car I just might get out of my car and do my best to whoop their ass...no one is justified to disrespect others like that...

Glad I don't like in LA. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised by this type of behavior in any large city.

A-holes like the Terrain driver will be up sh*ts crick with out a paddle when gasoline once again hits 5.00 or more per gallon... Then - those of us in small fuel efficient cars will once again have the last laugh all the way to the bank.

Btw- I'm getting 40-42mpg in my CR-Z hybrid.

You guys know this post is an inside joke, right?
