Got a hair over a foot of snow yesterday Went out this morning for some fun. Parking lot was a bit too deep as it was unplowed aside from a ring around the edge of the lot. Sport mode and TCS off had no problem holding a slide. Didn't get to mess around too much as I did get stuck once and...

There's a TSB for the headlight malfunction. They should just need to update the software. As far as the OFF position on the headlight/signal stalk. Thats normal on pretty much every newer mazda. Its spring loaded. They only want you to be able to turn the DRL off when completely stationary. If...

Heres the official doc for MSP66. Mazda will replace the battery if youre throwing a P0DAB code. Otherwise its a flash. To me, it seems like most of the battery issues arent actually battery issues and moreso software thats tripping DTC's even if within normal operating range. These updates...

Went in for service today and they did perform the MSP66 Update. Guess my car didn't require the TCM relearn. Have driven about 100 miles today running errands and such and left i-stop ON so far just to see if any difference. The handoff from engine off to back on at highway speeds is...

Some more info on MSP66. From my understanding if you bring in your car for service and it falls within the VIN ranges specified below, they'll replace the 48v hybrid battery if youre throwing a p0DAB code. If not throwing the code, they'll flash the PCM and TCM with an update.

Anyone gets this PCM/TCM update yet? Looks like its supposed to deal with a battery balancing code issue p0DAB code. I have one more free oil change left at the dealership. Probably will take it in early Jan or end of December and see if they mention anything about this. Saw mention of this...

More snow over the weekend. Gonna melt this week though as it'll be 55 on Thursday lol!

On proper snow tires it'd be a beast. On the factory 19" toyo's, it did fine. Can definitely tell its RWD biased, but its playful and well balanced. Easy to make corrections if needed! Waiting for a proper snowfall to find an empty parking lot to really mess around in with TCS off and in sport...

Played around with TCS off in an empty parking lot this morning after dropping the wife off at work. Was fun tossing this thing around despite its size! Got a good workout in cleaning off the cars and shoveling the driveway as well.

Almost 18k miles on my CX-70 with the greige interior and it still looks great. I clean it once a month and apply a conditioner once every 3 months. Only time it has got dye transfer from jeans was with dark jeans that were fairly New on a hot day where I was sweating. Wiped right off with some...

The wife went down to KY in her 3 last weekend for a baby shower and had a few instances where her phone lost reception and couldn't use maps. So hopped on Amazon and ordered 2 $28 navigation sd cards since the 25 mz3 and cx70 apparently use the same cards. Got em both and put them in both...

First snow of the year!

Thank you. Stephen was one of my groomsmen in our wedding, its crazy what a small world this is. He just bought that house that he an evan lived in too.

The hitch was factory add-on. Zircon Sand Metallic

Got married last week, and took the 70 to Baltimore as thats where we got married. Up to just 17k miles now. Back from the honeymoon and back to racking up miles as of today. In other news, A great friend, whom I met thru M247 unfortunately passed last week. Im devastated. We met thru...

Took the Mazdas out for brunch on Sunday. The CX-70 eclipsed 15,000 miles yesterday. Taking it in for the fuel guage recall next week. Otherwise nothing much new to report!

We are officially a Mazda Family. Wifey picked up a 2025 MZ3 Carbon Edition 2.5 NA today!

I have the digital rear view on my 70 and absolutely love it. Can cram the rear cargo fill on road trips and still see cars behind, etc or if my dogs are in the way of the back window.
