      9s would have been a great badge for the car.

      I can tell that's a fake because they made a sedan a CX. CX is only for crossovers. They should have gotten a Mazda 6 badge and turned the 6 upside down. A large sedan with a Mazda 9 badge would be more believable.

      Politics aside, I really like SPI.  I think this January was my 4th visit there.  I'd have to look at past archived photos.  It's on a barrier island, like Miami Beach, but the exact opposite ... no hype, no pretense, and, with that, the sort of crowd that might come with that and a hopping Whataburger.  People have asked me why it's not uptown.  Well, it's not across from a critical port of entry and mecca like Miami.  Texas border towns like Brownsville, Harlingen, and McAllen don't have the intellectual base and cachet to stimulate what's across at that barrier island.  It's almost too relaxed down there and food is cheap, plentiful, and mostly good.

      I have noticed a very disturbing trend. Be it light rail to work at 5am or at the dealership in the waiting room, I am seeing more folks just ignore who is around them, put their phone on speaker and chat away with whoever is on the other end. Was at Kia to get my Kia Connect app on my phone connected as they had a major outage, and it disconnected the phone app from the app that required going to the dealership to get it re-connected. Bummer, but as I sat in the waiting room, there was an old couple talking to I think their grand kids and I get on speaker phone then both can hear the other person, but then you need to use an inside voice but understandable. The one that is not is the individual person that is there on speaker phone with another talking away on high volume disturbing the rest of the folks sitting around waiting. Really need to remind folks of better etiquette when out and about, no need to hear the other person. Seems to be a growing trend as Washington state has grown big time over the last few years and now, I constantly have kids with their auto's radio system loud and booming so that it interrupts my listening to my own music inside my auto. Wish parents would raise their kids better.

      You don't even need to go in anymore. Those digital jukeboxes can now take selections from your phone. You can be on a plane over the Atlantic and do it.
