What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

And we know that no car is complete without those (2thumbs)

Talking about winter, just got Continental ExtremeContact DWS (215/50ZR17) installed. Too early to say anything, but very silent and good grip on rain...

loving mine, they grip as well in the rain as they do on dry pavement. I kept with the stock size though, didn't see a need to change (which is odd for me, I think I've changed tire sizes on every car I've owned before this!)
I've decided I don't need dedicated winter wheels in my part of PA, never been in a spot where I've regretted that decision either.

Snows, yellow fogs, and a coat of wax.

Installed the snows today, and gave it a good wash & wax before winter really hits. Also installed the Optilux yellow H11 bulbs I picked up at www.rallylights.com. They were a bit more than the ebay ones, but I like to support good guys like them.

broke 30000 miles... and just got my second recall letter today.

turned 19K today, trying to predict which day I hit 20K for the next oil change.

30k? 19k? Young'uns!!

30k? 19k? Young'uns!!

I've only had it for a year! that's with a road trip to Louisiana also, almost 3K round trip!

 

[Rockin03mp5]

it is the wifes car, and she only goes into work 3 days a week. probably 10K of those miles are roadtrips though. maybe more.

The 1-minute that I wish I had an SUV instead of a MAZDA5.

Yesterday I probably scratched the under side (splash guards, shields) of the MAZDA5.
Realities of owning a MAZDA5 is that there are times when you wish it is as high from the gound as an SUV.

i feel ya though. going through the plow wake on side streets can be interesting.

(and who video tapes their daily drives? just found that funny.)

 

[DKaz]

Last August I was lucky to fly to Regina on business for a couple of days. My hotel was close to the casino and the shopping center so I was able to stroll around without taxi/car. With every local I talked they said they love it there but Winter can be a little bit "rough"

BTW, loved the trees planted all over the place, gives it some personality... oh, and I saw more Mazda5s in 1 day than where I live in 1 month. Even the Google maps shows a red one on the street level view of the hotel

[BPboiler3]

i just ordered 16''s and the same winter tires. good to hear someone else has good luck with them. they just shipped yesterday. who knows when they will get here.

 

[d-machine]

sweet, so to make sure i understand its the first gen 3's side reflector tha is used for the rear reflector of the 5

 

[BPboiler3]

yes the side rear reflector on the first gen mazda3's is the same as the reflector that is used on the rear of the mazda5's

I have a '10 mazda5 and an '06 mazda3 and held them up side by side, compared the part numbers, and installed one just to make sure before I bought some clear ones for our 5

 

[Rockin03mp5]

shoot they arrived already today!

i like tire rack. first time i used them. tires mounted, balanced, and with hub-centric rings installed. basically just waiting to be thrown on.

I had this old tripod that somehow fit the contour of the Masda5 dash. And with a small camera and a 32GB sd card, its just as easy as 'press record and forget' during every drive. Maybe I'll catch something interesting.. Another Mazda5 or a UFO... lol.

Thanks for visiting our city. We do get our share of hot summer time. Hey, I searched and found that red mazda5 you mentioned. http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&sour...5dxYoufk7JDnzThd5sXsjA&cbp=12,235.14,,0,25.81
