80s Mazda's, Augsburg, 20170527
Posting more old stuff until new adventures arise.
Mazda Classic Automobile Museum Frey in May 2017.
The old Augsburg tram depot was resurrected as Mazda car museum. I believe it is the biggest classic Mazda collection outside Japan.
Right a 626, center a 929 coupe and left a 323 hatchback. I love the designs of these 80s Mazda's. My dad used to drive 323 GLX sedans in that era.
Look at the amount of glass on the 323 and 929. In modern cars the bodywork is much higher, so less glass. Dark claustrofobic cabins. Modern fossil fuel cars are heavy AF. Shitty small displacement turbocharged engines. Oh lets put in a panoramic roof to have some light in the cabin. Yeah, that'll make the car lighter, Looooooong freaking gears. Electric cars are even heavier. Fly-by-wire everything so everything is numb. Cheap money saving suspension. Big ass porno rims for an even shittier ride. Where is the progress? Automatic gearboxes, self parking- and self driving cars? Take the bus already, you loser! You bunch of stupid SUV/ crossover driving hippies! :)
Man, I miss this. When this COVID mess is all behind us, I'm going to visit all these European car museums again.
