The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

you can get the rad for 255 shipped so make sure they give it to you for less
 
Off of craigslist, my buddy picked up 12 sheets of steel total. They were only 25$ each, so it was an absolute steal! 6 of them are .172" and 6 are .125", so we'll be fabbing some stuff up for sure! The sheets are huge, 8'x19", and I really underestimated how big they'd be. He brought them home in his 02 Civic lulz. When he showed up at the dude's place the guy is like "where's your truck?"

I really wish I had a plasma cutter now....

To give an idea how big they are:

I've been there a number of times. While its cool, I get quickly frustrated with the other patrons. It's packed, people are rude. Tradition for me has been every other year... for almost 10 now.
 
heres some pictures of the show today...

im so damn proud to say that mazda and maybach were the only 2 manufacturers to not have a hybrid or electric car :D thats why i love them.

i also got to ride in a simulator around mazda laguna seca. it was really cool.


overall, fun day and a great experience..

We might go to the Cleveland show. Although I too get frustrated quickly with the whole scene. If we get a sitter we'll check it out if not no big loss.
 
I'll be heading to the Cleveland show as well. Sucks I won't have a press car to drive up there in this year. :(


Damnit, one day I'll make it to Detroit! (lol2)
 
I just like to know when parents stopped teaching their children manners. You know, golden rule, wait your turn, "what do you say". I know that Andrew will most certainly know how to act toward other people.

Sometimes you just have to call them out on it.

Start planing a trip for next year, It's on my bucket list.

CX-5 looks awesome, brz looks ok but I'd have to see it in person. A mazdaspeed 2 would be cool but I think they'd have to be able to price it around 18-20k and not with the ms3 engine. The falcon looks pretty bad ass. Thanks for the pics AJ!
 
I'm not going to lie..... That Mazda2 with the MS3 motor sounds cool. I'd have asked them to pop the hood for proof of concept.
 
Cool pics. The Turbo2 and the Linex'd Yota were my tops picks. And man, I feel proud that Mazda was one of the two that didn't have a hybrid. That's so awesome.
 
Sweet pics, AJ! Thanks for taking them and posting them. I'm with ya on the Focus, I want to wrap my P5 matte silver too. :)
 
hey corey, speaking of gorgeous colors i saw this on the new crv today and took a picture just because i thought you might like it for the msp.
