    CX-9 for my traveling son?

    You're a pretty cool dad, buying a 30,000+ dollar car for your son. I hope I can do something like that some day. (y) Is his heart set on a CUV? A Mazda 6 gets better mileage, is faster, corners better, is more comfortable, better looking (IMO), less expensive, and has nearly as much cargo...

    Pace Alventi Tyres

    If I was given a choice of Michelins or those, I'd keep the Michelins, save some money and get better tires when you can afford them.

    How many Mazdas have you owned?

    The FC was NA so it really wasn't too bad. The FD on the other hand...it's a money pit. My last engine rebuild cost overt $20k when all was said and done. They're gaining value lately, but it's also getting tougher and tougher to find mechanics and parts.

    Buying a new car and having it shipped

    I did, sort of. 👍I didn't buy anything 1st, but I did make sure I got the one I wanted. When I bought my Protege5. I test drove one and liked it, then when it was time to sign the papers, I went back out to the lot and found the silver 5-speed with no leather and the least miles. I still miss...

    Hwy 9 Fun Run!

    It's looking like UCSC will burn in this 40,000+ acre fire, as well as most of the towns along Hwy 9 in the SC Mountains. Get the hell outta there you guys. Prayers go out! https://www.ksbw.com/article/lightning-complex-wildfire-aug-20/33655265

    1993 Mazda RX-7 on BaT

    These cars are getting more and more rare and not everyone cares about a letter on the vin number. Someone got a deal on a nice FD. Auto or not, that car is worth twice $15k easy. That said, I paid 6k for my crappy little Montego Blue touring model.

    1993 Mazda RX-7 on BaT

    Montego Blue...Best color. You can get any car in black, white or red. Only one changes color in the sun. Touring...A/C, Bose subwoofer that sounds great if you keep it operating properly, sunroof. Tan interior...doesn't get as scorching hot as black, and fits the Montego Blue nicely...

    Lost all my pictures?

    Damn, I guess missed the announcement and lost over a decade worth of pics. Pics of my P5, my MSP, both FCs, the FD, the Miata and my kid growing up too. Some how-to threads that included pics are gone/worthless now too, I imagine. That was one reason I kept donating money. Because I was...

    Lost all my pictures?

    I've been hosting all my car pics here for over a decade. Now that the forum has changed from vbulletin, are all my pics gone? With no warning? I cant for the life of me find them in my settings or profile page. If so, that really sucks.

    257HP Corolla coming to the U.S.? Mazda, where's ours?

    Gazoo Racing is alive! :) It's nice to see someone offering performance,, instead of Hybrid electric this and 3-row that. I've been in Mazdas since the 90's and I've been wanting a new car for about 5 years...waiting waiting waiting for Mazdaspeed to come back in some form. I ended up buying a...
