    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Oh I’ve been reading and trying not to go crazy. If I start sound deadening it will be in conjunction with a budget system. The better half has me on a strict budget - so if you have any recommendations - wink wink nudge nudge.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    My wife finally relinquished the Mazda back to me. Heavy cleaned out all the kid stuff (thinking it might be her and not the kids). Wiped and scrubbed the interior for the first pass - will need a few more to get it the way I want. In the last month: All the brake pads Rear discs Rebuilt...

    120,000 mile service

    Added to the list, cheap insurance. Any recommendations on a brand of belt? Based on some other posts it looks like the KYB Shocks are a safer bet for the rears.

    General griping

    So my SO in the span of 2 days "hit a box" on the road cracking the front bumper cover. So I'm thinking not so bad. Then day 2 comes and "I got scared of a deer on the lawn and hit the house". And to my credit I stayed calm. Now beside the bumper cover is sheet metal work on the driver side...
