Bought a 2018 Mazda CX-5 on June 1st. Then drove it to the outer banks for our vacation. Unfortunately, I was mistaken when I thought it would convert to a boat....

when was this? i was there this week and saw some flooding, but nothing like this!!!

This happened on 07/29 in Nags Head. It was on Satterfield Landing road (right next to a bait and tackle shop). OBX had already gotten like 20 inches of rain in 8 days or so. The ditch on the side was already flooded so deep it was hidden. Car slipped into the ditch and the water continued to rise to the middle of the driver's door (actually above the passenger window at the height of the storm). The above photo was taken after the water receded quite a bit. You can see in the image below it would be impossible to know the ditch was even there (unless you knew it existed already).

I don't have a normal job, and my wife only works occasionally for a friend of hers so technically we don't have daily drivers. The two cars that might qualify under usual circumstances are our 2015 CX-5 and her 2016 Camaro SS convertible. The Camaro replaces her 2006 RX-8.

When your slow ass muscle sedan gets pulled on by a pickup truck built over a decade ago.

Daily? racecar? Eh, what's the difference...

And sometimes they can be the tow rig, too!

Nice! I loved my ex-wife's '15 Mazda 6 GT. Very nice place to put down miles.

Trubo?

2018 GT Reserve, so yes. All the torques at 2000 RPM.

Also drove the Honda Accord, and was a little disappointed in the 2.0T. For most of the driving situations I found myself in, it just didn't feel that much more "special" than the 1.5T or the N/A 2.5 in the Mazda6. The transmission was slow to downshift and it doesn't make as much low end power as the 2.5T in the 6.

The Honda was noticeably larger, but not as pretty inside and out. It was also more expensive for comparable levels of equipment. When this popped up used with only 6000 miles, I jumped on it.

Awesome. Those have gotta be sweet cars with that engine.
