    Well, it's been a few days & no response from the seller. May just keep an eye out for a good NB2 & hope one falls into my hands.

    NB MX-5 Shinsen - Price Check and PPI Points to Check?

    Thanks, still waiting to hear back from the seller. 4hr drive each way, so not something I can just pop over to check out. Apart fromhe seat coversn (unknowcondition of the OE seats) and driver door wear, it looks clean in the few photos available.

    NB MX-5 Shinsen - Price Check and PPI Points to Check?

    Have long liked the Shinsen pkg cars since I test drove one in college when they were only a few years old. Would love an ND, but way out of budget currently. Found one semi-local, about 4 hours away. 2003 (obviously) Shinsen 140k. Has the side skirt ground effects & rear spoiler, looks...

    Mazda6 Signature

    Just saw that a local dealer has 2 GT Rs in stock (DCB & SWP), may try to swing over for a look this weekend. Both are parchment interior, so they're a no go for me. But will be good to see so I'll have a solid decision as soon as a Signature rolls in.

    Mazda6 Signature

    Wow, it's been a long time since I joined on here. I originally joined sometime around when this generation of 6 came out. Was pretty set on a 6MT Touring at the time, but then my wife needed more room than her Civic offered, so we dropped my TL & she got a new car. I stopped in a local dealer...

    Mazda3 2016 bodykit, familiar?

    Also, to my eyes, that looks like a CX-5?

    US Spec 2017 Mazda 3 - Video

    I liked the Blue Reflex when the current gen 3 came out, haven't seen the new blue to know if I'll like it. Leaning more toward a Snowflake White, since Ceramic isn't available on the 3. Though may wait & see how machine gray looks before deciding for sure.

    All New 2016 MX-5 World Premiere LIVE!

    I'm liking it overall. The rear is growing on me. Need more real photos & to see one in person. Agreed that the side profile looks quite nice. & I'l liking the interior as well.

    Still markedly better than the 27 combined I'm currently getting in my 14 year old TL.

    Autocross day with a 3 S Touring coming up

    Never done it with a new car, but I used to thrash my Saturn around an auto-x track every couple weeks when I was in college. Make sure to crank up your tire PSI when you get to the track. I usually ran near the max PSI indicated on the sidewall. Less fuel = less weight Not sure on the...

    2015 Mazda3 Sedan & Hatch - 2.5 Liter "S" Model with Manual Transmission

    So has anyone seen one of these yet?

    2015 Mazda3 Sedan & Hatch - 2.5 Liter "S" Model with Manual Transmission

    And I'd be completely fine with that. I want the larger engine & 3 pedals. Fractions of a second be damned.

    cruise control is a mpg thief

    Awesome to get a 24hr test drive. I think those are getting more & more uncommon. I think the difference could be partly on how aggressive the cc is on the accelerator vs manually modulating it for hills/inclines. Bad example, apples to oranges, but we took an RV on an 8hr drive & were getting...
