Here is my Mazda B2600i 4x4. We were living in Hawaii and it was brand spanking new.

I thought I was cool. I was probably mistaken

I loved that truck.

Marty wanted a Toyota.

I like the Mazda B trucks. No-nonsense, they just did stuff.

Of course you like them. Where do you think Mazda got the transmission for the Miata from?

That's one thing I liked about driving my 91 B2200. The final drive was probably different, but the spacing between gears was identical to my Miata!

I always liked the Nissan "hard bodies" in Two wheel drive form.. but the mazdas are cool too.. try and find either today though. Those mini pickups just did not survive well

Wait... Did you get a pair of oddly-colored shorts with every Mazda truck purchase?

My folks bought one of those when they first came out. 87.5? We used to squeeze our family of four in there. Ouch. We even went "four-wheelin'." It was actually a pretty badass little truck with its carbureted 78hp or whatever it was. Our friend's 4-runner tried to cross a muddy stream (which we already crossed,) got stuck, then sucked water into the engine and bent some valves. We pulled it out with the Mazda and towed it home.

YES! I guess it was some promotion going on in the early 90's.

that is isn't even the worst of the stuff I wore back then
