Friends,
I’m a sucker for new words, coined sometimes on the fly, perfect for the task, melodious to the ear. Today I stumbled upon a word that is so precise and that I can really wrap my arms around that I had to share:
“Mazdafarian”
A definition isn’t really required when you gaze upon this page from the brilliant Japanese Nostalgic Car blog. Mazda fans who approach the hobby with a laid-back but religious zeal? That’s as good as any.
I could waste a lot of time poking through their collections of weirdo Japanese transportation built back in the days when they weren’t intended to be appliances, but as emotional as they could be. The “J-tin” collector hobby is growing, particularly on the West Coast, and I’m gonna need to head to Orange County for the next event. I wonder if I could find a nice rotary pickup for cheap…
I don’t need another car. I don’t need another car. I don’t need another car. I don’t need another car. I don’t need another car. I don’t need another car.
