    1st long trip in our 5.

    Lotus/Porsche Yes, I noticed that, too. Man, my 1984 Porsche 944 was sold when my wife got pregnant and I made her sell her BMW to get the Mazda5. Besides, where do you park 3 cars in SF. I know I wouldn't park a Lotus or a Porsche on the street.

    Droning engine noise @ 3050 RPM

    Buy a louder stereo Yup! Before I could afford a car: If my clunker started making a new noise, I put in louder speakers or get a louder stereo.

    GAS PRICES - OUCH! Just in time for the holidays

    (idhitit) <--Guess which guy in this pic represents the gas companies?! Are we getting worked by the oil industry right now or what? The gas prices in San Francisco almost $4/gallon. If you really want to get heated, go rent, "Who Killed The Electric Car?" Find cheap gas in your neighborhood...

    First day trip (Mt Hamilton)

    Great pics....hellas? Yo, I've grown up in the Bay Area and I've never drove up there. But now that I see those pics, I am putting it on the list on road trips. Your pics are great. I actually feel like I was with you, but without the car sickness [sitting in the 3rd row on windy roads can...

    Floor mats sliding around

    Any day now Jandree....CONGARTS on the newbie-bie! We are expecting any day now, too. I've got a hook on the driver's side. Although, it's loose and needs to be tightened down. Perhaps yours came off. My problem is the second row mat slides forward under the drivers seat.

    Mazda OEM in-dash GPS Navigation

    Voice button on the steering wheel I even drove the Mazda 5 today all over the city. I never once hit the voice button on my steering wheel. I should go check, but I'm being lazy now. I'll get back to you.

    FINALLY picking up my 5 tomorrow

    5 is it Hilarious....CONGARTS! I've never seen it mispelled that way. That's right up there with "You just got pwned" (for you gamers). The Mazda 5 is definitely trading up! Gas mileage is a huge issue now that gas is $4 in San Francisco. I swear if this were an electric car, I think I'd...

    What's your Mazda 5 nicknamed?

    As you know, it's bad luck not to name your ship! (It's a pirate thing!) <-----The Great White Hope [see pic...the color speaks for itself]

    Facetious! (nana) Dude, I was just giving a funny example. It's not that I'm always eating and drinking in the The Great White Hope (my Mazda 5's nickname). Actually, I agree. It's usually the passenger who's navigating while I'm driving and they certainly don't need to be paying attention...

    Does anybody know how to modify the NAV so you can use it while the car is in motion? As is, it won't let you do anything unless the car is stopped. My Acura TL lets me use the NAV while eating a granola bar, drinking a Pepsi, and going 75mph down the freeway. I read the disclaimer, I'll...

    Kid configuration

    We're expecting baby #2 any day now. As the father, I have the easy job of getting things ready, while Mama has the hard job of delivering the baby. On my list of things to do is add another car seat. Does any body have any suggestions on how best to seat an 18 month and a newborn? Now...

    Liability for sho' After checking around the web, it looks like the Toyota and Lexus Navi also doesn't allow you to use while moving. It's a hassle, but having a Navi still rocks!(stash)

    Mazda OEM in-dash GPS Navigation

    I got the pop-up Mazda gps navi. There is one big hassle with it. You can't use it while you are driving. Does anybody know a way around this? My Acura TL allows me to use it while moving. Holler back if you have any ideas. I've searched the web with no luck. I found a couple of others...
