What’s New for the 2018 Mazda3. Top Story - November 2017.
The emerging 2018 Mazda3 model is nearing its release date. The vehicle is scheduled to appear by the start of 2018 season and every fan of this famous brand is impatiently waiting to see what the car is going to bring. The Mazda3 is going to bring some significant novelties but will dissatisfy fans in some areas as well. This means that the majority of the changes are going to be under the hood of the car and the inclusion of new tech as well. As for the unchanged part, the design of the car is kept fairly similar and simple compared to the last year’s model. So we are getting a retooling of the same car for a new model year. But the retooling comes in the form of better performance and improved specs.

The Ultimate Canvas
The automotive industry was a major step forward in the evolution of mankind. It gave us the ability to travel on our own terms, not bottled up on a train for days, stuck on horseback, or leading a wagon train. It created a new faucet for the creative types to make a statement on the world, define an era, and ultimately change the world forever. Hundreds, if not thousands of manufacturers have come and gone, each leaving their own unique footprint in the timeline. Still today we see dozens, if not hundreds of different brands of automobiles on the roads. We cherish classics, some to the tune of tens of millions of dollars on the auction block. But what is it that makes us cherish these relics? Is it the engineering? The beauty? A childhood dream car? All of these are perfectly fine reasons to cherish automobiles, and I believe it’s a true mark of greatness for humanity because of how differently something so common is perceived by the masses.

Finding Inspiration in a Limbo Between Reality and Fantasy
As someone who loves to write about and generally immerse myself in the world of fiction and fantasy, there have been instances (rare ones), where I have felt the the need to rationalise all of it.

Or, how fantasy reveals the truth, which reality obscures (and etc.).

He has a difficult life—as he is misunderstood and somewhat neglected by his family.

Despite living through such disappointments as being expelled from a formula one garage (being falsely accused of leaking information to a competitor’s spy) he finds the inner strength to overcome all predicaments, defying all odds whilst re-inventing himself in the process. George is very determined to achieve success in F1; however, his hot headed personality and his stubborn character provoke many setbacks on his road to success.
