What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

Found out one of my co-workers is very interested in my car for him and his wife. He's going to make some type of offer on it, even though I haven't formally decided to sell it yet.
 
Rancho Cucamonga actually. Used to live there until I moved to vegas after high school. May actually maybe moving back for the summer. :D

Oh, send me a PM when you do! You could hit up some MOCC meets!

Washed and waxed, love the Black Cherry Mica after a good thorough wash and wax...really shines...(bling)

HELL yay it does! i love it best right after a good detail. the two-tone nature of the paint really is nice in the sunset light too.
 
damnit steve! not even to a fellow mazda enthusiast.... boo.

oh so im proud of mahself. after the spacer install, and scraping mad fender errywhere i go. i got to work and didnt rub ONCE. I was all proud for remembering now, and taking the dips/bumps slow. lol and yet i cant get a fender roll for at least another week. :(
 
Look what i found!!

Im Quite embarrased/pissed off that i found this in my car.. Mouse Nest in my cabin air filter..

Thats Pretty Disgusting..

It will never happen again. I'll be checking that area every few months from now on.
 
How do you check the cabin air filter?

Remove glove box, look up, you'll see a rectangular lid, pull black cover out, filter is right there. Hardest part is getting that string back on the glove box (needle nose pliers helps with this). I'd say at least check it every 10k, mine was disgusting after 30k. IIRC its about $20-25 at your dealer, a little less online.

He's a car guy though, so if he bought it, he'd be good to it.

Didn't do anything more then driving it around Rancho. :) Definitely miss it here and hope I get to move back for a bit! Plus I hear the MOCC meets in chino hills are huge :O
 
yeah but i dont think most people will understand that the car is clean ALL the time. i mean seriously the engine bay sometimes is cleaner then the actuall car itself. and for me to find that was to me very embarassing.. all that aside tomorrow ill have the cleanest interior on the forum.. took everything apart tonight to clean and disinfect it all.. that includes most of the dash, center console, door panels, seats etc.. OCD maybe?? Big Time :)
 
/\ /\ I heartily endorse this project! I'll be doing my interior this weekend while the GF is out for most of Sunday.


i'll do that next week... this weekend is the biggest car show in atlantic canada.. i'll be in no condition to drive my car so it will spend most of the weekend parked at the hotel(drunk)

HOLY s***!! thats disgusting bro. you're lucky you didnt have rotting flesh smell from that dead thang.

thats about as bad as my neighbor, rats made a nest in his engine bay.
he only found out because one day he was driving and heard a big "cu-chunk, BLAM!", opened the hood to find a rat splatted ALL over the engine bay... musta gotten caught in a belt.

LOL! ew.

He's a car guy though, so if he bought it, he'd be good to it.

oh ok good, so at least he will take care of the thing... even if he aint gonna be modding it. (cool)
