How's it going everyone? I just stumbled upon this site while surfing the net looking for car forums and thought I would drop in and check this one out. I live in Mobile and was a DSMer for 15 years and got burnt out. Took a break from cars for a while and this week I picked up a new toy to drive back and forth to work. I have never been a fan of Mazda before but after test driving the 3 I just had to have one. It's by far slower than what I use to have but it's a lot more fun to drive than anything I have ever had and looks decent as well. I just wanted something that was enjoyable to do some spirited driving with and not something crazy fast. Been there done that. Anyway that's about it. I attached a pic of my new car for you all to check out.

Later,
Tony

Mazda makes really underpowered cars (Compared to the competition) but they're extremely fun to drive.

And just cause you drive a Mazda3

Look. Just trust me on this. Compare the RX7, MX5, MX6, RX8, 626, 323, even the 787B to all of it's competitors at the time and you'll find that they're not real power houses in terms of RWHP.

LOL Yea only a couple in there worth comparing and during there time that was true. But that was then and now Mazda does not really have much these days just the 3 and the RX8. The 3 does ok in it's class.

Hey what's up JT? Have not talked to you in a long time. I sold the AWD to Thomas and then he sold it to someone else which I guess you probably know that but I still have the FWD that I need to sell and a ton of parts laying around that needs to go as well but I am done with them. Enjoying the new ride! :mrgreen:

I thought it was clean way before I sold it to him.

It just needed a paint job on it which I never did.
