12/9/2023 0 Comments 1991 mazda protege specs![]() Despite a passenger-side fascia stuffed with an air bag, there’s also a glove box but only a cube of a cubby between the seats, and door trays that are little more than a suggestion. They are low on the center console, which makes tuning a long reach, even for those wearing 36-inch sleeves. Cruise control, turn signals, gearshift and windshield wiper stalk fall easily to hand.īut the radio controls need relocating. All dials are clearly visible from a dashboard also concave to enhance the illusion and actuality of roomier insides. So, with name and logos taped over, one could examine Protege, walk around it, sit in it, poke it, sneak up on it when it’s sleeping–and there would be no clues to its maker. When its lines are adapted for a sedan of reduced dimensions, most of the styling subtleties get lost in the transmogrifier. But then Millenia is a larger, rather dramatic vehicle. The oddity here is that Millenia styling works for Millenia. Not only is Protege cautious and mainstream–obviously aimed at cautious and mainstream buyers–it is a miniaturized Millenia, with front and rear sculpture recognizable knockoffs from Mazda’s new $26,000 luxury sedan. Where the car falls on its nose, however, is in exterior styling. Here’s the really sad comparison: For $1,000 more you could drive home in a small stick of dynamite known as the Ford Mustang GT with a 5.0 liter V-8. And a Protege ES with the Miata engine transplant costs $16,145. The new primer is a better equipped DX stickered at $12,000. Even among drivers prone to pretty impolite dancing.īase model of the 1994 Protege with a five-speed manual cost $9,500. This new muscle tone also produces a small car devoid of skittishness, in fact a subcompact of exquisite manners and a high measure of balance and security. The Protege’s body has been stiffened considerably by supercomputer analysis and reinforced cross members for the suspension–all of which removes much of the roll from hard cornering and most of the pitch from serious braking. This proven four from a highly successful two-seater produces 122 horsepower and more adolescent fun than might be healthy for sober adults. Fortunately for those who like a little peppermint in their motoring, that means a Protege ES equipped with Mazda Miata’s 1.8-liter engine. ![]() on the highway, to an impressive 31 and 39 m.p.g.Īs part of Mazda’s general downsizing and re-arranging to staunch finances that have become a blood bath, there will be only one optional engine in the lineup. It will be standard equipment on the Protege DX primer and the somewhat ritzier LX model.ĭespite this increase in oomph, Protege’s fuel efficiency has improved by almost 10%–from 29 m.p.g in town and 36 m.p.g. The base engine has been puffed up from 82 to 92 horsepower from a new 1.5-liter, 16-valve four banger. Protege panels are concave, which buries all those handles and adds width to the passenger compartment. Mazda likes to rattle on about interior packaging and functionality of space, but it all boils down to rethinking every aspect of design–from engine compartment to body styling–to optimize the process of scooping out a cabin.Įxample: Inside panels on doors are usually flat with cranks, buttons and elbow rests poking into the interior of the car. Credit here goes to something called OptiSpace Design. Mazda’s Protege, thanks to a combination of refined engineering, quality equipment and superb balance when country roads become gymnastic, falls far from this latter lot.ĭespite subcompact sizing, Protege’s interior offers more shoving and snuggling room than even mid-size cars from BMW and Mercedes. only when Rodney King was at the wheel–or so said the CHP.) (The Excel, you may recall, hit 115 m.p.h. So would the door mouse-powered Hyundai Excel–recently, and thankfully, replaced by the Accent. Kia’s Sephia–with mechanical seat belts and the look of a 1988 rerun–might be a questionable place to spend hard-earned money. (Honda Civic), four-door toys with anti-lock brakes (Toyota Corolla), spunky wheels modified for weekend club racing (Neon again),and a full flea circus of tykes with sun roofs and CDs, leather upholstery and alloy wheels, and all the power and remote controls of grown-up autos. Now we have stylish cab-forward designs in pint size (Chrysler’s Neon), smug little cars with dual air bags (Ford Aspire), shrunken sedans delivering motorcycle mileage of 56 m.p.g. Mazda’s 1995 Protege brings the subcompact gene pool to its saturation point. 12/9/2023 0 Comments 2007 cateye duramax for saleI have invested more than $40K on this truck!!!

It was so good I kept taking a sip every few minutes until all of a sudden it was gone and I was sad. I tried this marg while making dinner last night and before I even knew it, I'd drank the whole can. ![]() This margarita from Two Chicks is right there at the top and should not be missed! Maybe I'm getting better at choosing which canned cocktails to try but I think it's more likely that the ready-to-drink cocktail market is hot and everyone is bringing their A game. ![]() I am starting to feel like a broken record. So, was it worth the all that anticipation? In a word - YES! Here is my official review of the Two Chicks margarita : After months of keeping my eye out for these cute cans, I finally scored one. The only problem - besides the fact that I'll probably never meet these boss babes IRL - is that I couldn't find their cocktails at my usual stores. Throw in that they are a women owned business and I had a full on girl crush! You could call the two of them cocktail cousins.Do you Instagram stalk your favorite brands? Or is that just me? I've been captivated by the cute packaging of the Two Chicks brand since I first spotted them on Instagram. The Paloma, however, relies on grapefruit juice, lime juice, and a splash of fizzy grapefruit soda for its tart, subtly sweet, citrus punch. While they both may be citrusy tequila cocktails, a classic margarita calls for lime juice and an orange liqueur that adds a touch of sweetness. What's the difference between a margarita and a P aloma? ![]() We don't recommend using an anejo tequilla, or one that has been aged for a long time in oak, because it will compete with the bright, refreshing flavors of the grapefruit soda. Tequila blanco is traditional, but you can also make this with a reposado tequila if you prefer. Just make sure what you grab is 100% grapefruit juice and not from concentrate. The store-bought stuff just isn't the same! However, in a pinch, you can use store-bought grapefruit juice to make a Paloma. There's no comparison to the taste of freshly-squeezed citrus juice, so it should always be your first choice. We love the addition of lime for acidity and a more complex citrus flavor.ĭoes the grapefruit juice have to be fresh? For this latter approach, if you like a sweeter cocktail, you may want to add a dash of simple syrup or agave nectar. You can use any grapefruit flavored soda, like fresca or even Squirt, but it tastes equally as great with a mix of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and sparkling water. ![]() Traditionally, a Paloma cocktail is made with tequila blanco and grapefruit flavored soda, like Jarritos de Toronja. Pro tip: Go ahead and dip the rim of the glass in salt if that's your jam! Whether a Cinco de Mayo fiesta or a fun tacos for Taco Tuesday, just whip up a batch of Palomas to serve with a spread of Mexican food! If you're a big fan of margaritas and Ree Drummond's signature drink, Ranch Water, it's time to meet another tasty tequila cocktail-the Paloma! This recipe doubles down on grapefruit flavor with a little bit of fresh grapefruit juice and grapefruit soda! Fresh lime juice helps add more acidity to balance the sweetness of the soda and a pinch of salt in the glass rounds out all of the flavors. 12/9/2023 0 Comments Watch love hip hop![]() This “family reunion” edition hosted by Kendall Kyndall gives viewers insight on new celebrity gossip.

With an older and younger sister, he is the middle child in a family of three. They said as an organisation, they had been working hard to make sure the New Zealand Police was a workplace where people felt valued and safe.Cahill’s mother was an elementary school teacher and his father worked as a stockbroker.

"We acknowledge the professionalism, pride and commitment that our people bring to their duties every day around the country. New Zealand Police said they were aware of recent campaigns by Australian police to target police staff here, but to date, fewer than 20 had crossed the ditch, and that the attrition rate had been declining. If the first lot that go report back that this is really positive, it could have a snowball effect that could be really detrimental. "It's a real concern and could be a significant risk. "They're able to look at Australia and think, 'I'm not only going to earn 20%, 30% more, but I'm also able to earn that again in overtime'," he said. Mitchell said he could not comment on the pay negotiations until the new government was formed.Ĭahill said police wanted to be paid overtime, something their counterparts across the Tasman already enjoy. An incoming National-led government is going to be laser-focused on reducing inflation, which will give Kiwis more spending and saving power." Police are public, and public are police. "Cost of living and interest rates have hit police officers as hard as anyone else. Obviously, pay and conditions are an important part of this," Mitchell said. "An incoming National-led government will be focused on retention and support for our frontline police officers. ![]() In a statement, National Party police spokesperson Mark Mitchell said he did not want to lose officers to overseas posts. Members rejected the first offer of $4000 cash in the hand for the first year and a 4% pay increase for the year after - well under inflation.Īccording to the New Zealand Police website, an officer in training would receive $56,219 rising to $75,063 in their first year, and $82,773 in their fifth year.

Not to say that Young Thug’s subscribing to standard rap fare takes away from the boldness of the JEFFERY cover or the political sharpness of his Calvin Klein statements, but it does call into question any attempt to brand him the savior of gender issues in rap. He wore dresses and skirts because he wanted to push the boundaries of what was deemed acceptable during his time. But then again, none of them are being praised for breaking down gender barriers in hip-hop. Kurt Cobain was one of the pioneers of androgynous fashion and believed in gender fluidity. For the most part, they could come from the blinged-out mouths of any poppin’ Atlanta rappers - Future, Migos and Lil Yachty all have lines of similarly questionable content. On “Future Swag,” Thugger chants “I fuck on your baby mama/ Let’s fuck on your baby mama,” and on “Harambe” he croons “I just wanna have sex/ I just wanna have a baby by you, girl,” with disturbing fervor.īut the most remarkable thing about the lyrics on JEFFERY is just how unremarkable they are. Thug snarls on “Floyd Mayweather”: “Little bitch, you ridin’ n****s’ dick like a bitch, damn,” a barb that uses femininity as a way to put down a faceless male enemy.Īnd when he isn’t pushing masculinity as a rap weapon, his lyrical hypersexuality stands out in stark contrast to the cover’s androgyny. The beats experiment with reggae and oddball trap, but lyrically, the songs fall squarely into standard rap music dick-measuring territory. From the get-go, it’s clear that any envelopes being pushed here are strictly musical. But as an album, JEFFERY certainly doesn’t break hip-hop’s decades-old heteronormative tradition. 12/9/2023 0 Comments Vpn unlimitedamazon fire tv![]() Proceed to your macOS System Preferences.The default gateway IP address is usually the IP address of your router.Open the Command Prompt on your Windows device. ![]() Select the appropriate instruction below and take a note of your router IP.

The question is, will awards voters acknowledge he’s right? PREDICT the 2022 Oscar nominees through February 8 “I’m on top of my game right now on, like, every single possible level,” Rex-as-Mikey says in an early part of the “Red Rocket” trailer. On Tuesday, the studio released the film’s first trailer, a blast of energy that puts Rex center stage and showcases his performance. But that could change in the months ahead, especially now that A24 has started the public campaign for “Red Rocket” in earnest. It’s a high-wire act throughout, a performance that notably recalls Adam Sandler in “Uncut Gems” (a Best Actor snub last year) and also former Best Actor nominees Leonardo DiCaprio (for “The Wolf of Wall Street”), Christian Bale (for “American Hustle”) and Bradley Cooper (for “Silver Linings Playbook”).ĭespite the early praise, however, Rex hasn’t cracked the Gold Derby odds in any meaningful way: among Best Actor contenders, he ranks 21st in the combined predictions between users and experts, behind even long-shot stars like Clint Eastwood (for “Cry Macho”) and Michael B. But the trick of Rex’s hyperverbal and wired performance is that he’s able to charm viewers (and the film’s characters) into thinking he’s doing the right thing. Indeed, throughout “Red Rocket,” Mikey makes a number of reprehensible choices - including trying to entice a young woman, breakout actress Suzanna Son, to join him in the porn world. Mikey is a “character that you simultaneously love and hate,” Davis wrote. At Variety, the publication’s awards expert, Clayton Davis, urged academy voters to consider Rex in the category despite the film’s subject matter - which includes sex work, drug use, and characters who seemingly hold conservative politics. Awards expert Dave Karger wrote on Twitter that Rex gave the best male performance among films that debuted at the Telluride Film Festival, where “King Richard” with Smith, “The Power of the Dog” with Cumberbatch, and “Belfast” with Jamie Dornan, all screened. For The Hollywood Reporter, awards columnist Scott Feinberg has Rex among his early Best Actor nominees (the caveat being that Feinberg hasn’t yet slotted in contenders like Washington because he had yet to see the film at the time of initial publication). “Simon Rex is sensational in ‘Red Rocket,’” read a headline on Richard Lawson ’s rave review of the film after its debut at the Cannes Film Festival. |
