    It's not easy being a dinosaur.

    I usually open my own gifts and secretly wish it were in another color or a different size, but I don't want to seem ungrateful so I don't say anything.

    It's not easy being a dinosaur.

    Yeah, you got me looking at those real hard. They're still available new from the Apple Store online and there's a bunch of new ones on Fleabay. My B-day is next week, might pull the trigger on one as a gift to myself. Thanks ruthrj, I didn't know something so close in size to my 4 existed, and...

    It's not easy being a dinosaur.

    Only in our dreams AD, only in our dreams. Thanks for the link 7eregrine. Problem is, I really like the small size of the 4. The 5s was out when I got it, with rumors of the soon-to-be-released 6. The Verizon store was very happy to unload a 4 at that point, even at the 99 cent price I paid for...

    It's not easy being a dinosaur.

    I'll admit it, I'm slow to adopt new technology. I was playing 8-tracks in my car when everyone else had cassettes. I rented Betamax when VHS was the norm, and then VHS when DVDs were the standard. I still carried a flip phone years after smartphones came out. When I decided to buy a new car I...

    Post Pictures of Your CX-5 Mods, Upgrades and Accessories!

    Good find Sparty, they were hiding in plain sight with that web address. Since you've already ordered them I'll wait and see how they look, hoping you will be kind enough to post a couple of pics before and after you install them.

    Post Pictures of Your CX-5 Mods, Upgrades and Accessories!

    Yeah, the guy that did the work is something of a perfectionist. His client base is almost entirely German brands and Tesla. The cars before and after mine were a big AMG Mercedes and a Tesla S. Complete wraps and ceramic application on both to the tune of $9K and $6.1K respectively. Despite...

    Had the front windows done with Llumar CTX25 to match the factory tint. Also had him do Llumar Air80 on the windshield for heat and uv protection. Then I had Xpel ppf installed on the entire hood, front fenders, Mazda emblem on the grill, headlights, front bumper, door cups, and finally the...

    Drove a 2019 Signature Yesterday

    Just tried it, thanks! Two weeks and two hundred miles of ownership, still somewhat overwhelmed by the tech.

    Drove a 2019 Signature Yesterday

    It's strange that Mazda gave us yellow bendy lines going forward but static blue out back.

    Any cross shopping with the 2019 RAV4?

    My search started three years ago with the goal being fuel economy and the promise of a CX-5 diesel. Waited a long time for that, but when it turned into a unicorn I started looking at the pending Rav4 Hybrid. That was another year of waiting and got as far as sitting in one at the L.A. Auto...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    If you damaged the paint or clearcoat with a car duster I think the problem was on the end of the handle. Car dusters are used at car shows everywhere on vehicles with far more value than any Mazda. Use only the California Car Duster brand and follow the instructions to the letter. I've been...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    That $500 rebate is either a NorCal only incentive or it expired in the last two weeks. Purchased a Signature today in SoCal but didn't qualify for ANY incentives. Double checked when I got home and Mazda has nothing offered for my area. Tried to keep the deal as simple as possible so as not to...
