Huh?

What exactly is that banner?! Why is it concurrently smiling sneakily and tearing?! Yea…. That’s the facade for a 2014-2019 Mazda2, a somewhat fun and zippy ride that I’m currently driving. What you read is what you will get – chronicles of my ride and the occasional snippets of my hobby – toy collecting.

My Mazda2 - the hatchback variant to be exact - was bought in the resale market with the triple wow factors of attractive condition, mileage and depreciation value. My main gripes and regret? It's a Standard trim.

I'm neither technically nor mechanically inclined; aside from some odds and ends, nothing significant has been installed or modified:
