I’ve never been much of a “car guy,” but now that I drive my Mazda 3 (red, obviously) I have to admit - I love this car! It doesn't have any ultra fancy features, but the original owner did select the wireless key fob option. And it is great. Well, m

If there is one thing this stage of the CORE One Mini reminded me of, it's this: prototyping is not always fair and square. And in this case, that is meant quite literally.
