Thats INSANE Leeharvey. Wow. Me. Definitely me. No way these should have lasted this long. Also me. I will say, as some know I, am an acquaintance of a Service Director at Mazda, He told me at my 30K service to have them "lube the slides". I didn't know what that meant, but I had it done...

Anybody beat that for the ORIGINAL brakes? Had rotors and pads replaced today for the first time. Just under 82k miles. 4mm in front, 2mm in the rear. Weren't making noise or anything. Pretty happy. (Damn..just detailed her too and that rim looks like hell ... Guess I didn't get them well...

I likED my dealer when I bought and for the first few years. They went down hill. The first few services are what? Oil change? I know a Regional Service Director. He is a friend of a friend I met at friends party. Got me the employee discount. He told me that he absolutely is more helpful to...

That's on my DO NOT WANT list. I HATE that feature. LOL Press the button...and waaaaaaaait..... Have it on my sedan but it only unlocks it and pops it up a bit. You have to manually close it. I like that.

Sunroof. Literally haven't had a car without one in 30 years... lol

I am a big believer in long life tranny fluids. Not lifetime, of course not. I love how you say he "claims his transmission is in good shape"... I'm sure he knows. I personally know many examples of very old tranny fluids and I've seen countless examples online. Here's the thing about tranny...

Same. as going to buy some steel wheels from Tirerack. They wanted $79 each for new 17's. For an extra $80 I bought a set of black rims that they were trying to get rid of. Checked after I bought them and they had 2 left. So I got the last complete set.

No..it wouldn't hurt. But it didn't help either. :D
