Every year I give my cars a deep clean. Been neglecting Betty a bit and keeping her outside so she gets first up. And we always start with the nook and cranny clean. I always forget before shots. Lol It was filthy. The hatch area was disgusting with old crusty pollen and other nasty. My 8 year...

I thought someone else posted about this recently, can't find it. No idea how this happened. I would assume no one is dumb enough to think you could break in this way? Dealer wants $229 to replace just that black piece. Anyone know how to replace it?

OK so the newer Mazda's have this remote start app. For all intents and purposes it is currently free "for 3 years" as Mazda says. Some cars are apparently beyond this 3 year mark and Mazda still hasn't announced what this charge will eventually be. Am I right so far? I know at least part of...

Stupid garage! Reached out and hit my drivers side mirror. 2 pieces broke off the back, an upper piece and a lower piece. The upper piece, scratched up a bit, I was able to get back into place. Put some black duct tape on it to hold it. But the lower piece fell to the ground and i ran it over...

Basically Spark Plugs. $300. OUCH. Never paying them to do that again. Got the oil changed. They wanted to do an "Induction Service". That was disappointing. Come on guys...Used to love this dealership, but they've gone downhill. Literally not a single issue. I might be willing to do that if...

Joke, of course. No, this car is no beater. I have wanted to park my Volvo C70 hardtop convertible over winter for years. I've been looking for cars all summer long because this is the winter I was going to do it. After test driving some crap, my awesome wife told me "You should up your budget...

There were 4 cars I was looking at when I bought my 2016. One of the (many) reasons I bought the Mazda is because... you don't see them everywhere. I like not seeing my car everywhere. I like not having the #1 selling car.. in fact I would avoid the #1 selling car. Just for that reason. And...

No there's nothing Official about it. :D I just like throwing that in there. Just curious what phones are popular amongst the Mazda set. :D I just got a Pixel 6 Pro and am IN LOVE with my phone all over again. Been some time since I've enjoyed a new phone so much. What are you guys using and...

If you know me, you know I hate how much chrome they put in these cars. One of the (obviously minor) reasons I chose the 2016 versus all other models was the lack of chrome around the windows. There is none in my car. 2016 Ford Escape added chrome trim to only the bottom edge of the windows...

Post 'em if you got em! Meet Bruno!

For the first time ever, the CX-5 out sold The Ford Escape. I'm sure most of us know this but yea...Mazda is KILLING it. When I bought my Mazda they had a 1.3% share of the US market. Today that has doubled to 2.7%. Not a huge number but DOUBLED in 4 years? Pretty impressive. And the Miata...

A comment in another post made me think of this. I was going to post this there but instead of sidetracking, I'll start a fresh post. Re: Dealers not knowing the brand: what was a dumb comment you've heard or overheard from someone that SHOULD know the brand??? I was at a Volvo dealership...

So my back brakes were making a bit of a grinding noise. Thought that was odd. That went on for a few days. Then it got REAL bad, like there would be a scraping noise after letting OFF the brake. That scared me a bit, right to the shop. Hoping something simple, maybe a caliper broke or...

Why aren't we checking on each other? :D How are you? How's your family? What's going on in your part of the world? I'll reply later...

Party time! Here I go again trying to get a nice photo thread going. I've struck out like 6 times. Maybe 7 is a charm? Post a photo of your car in a driveway! Doesn't even have to be your driveway, but it would be cooler if it was! Obviously, try to make sure we can't see your address.

Interesting. It's a Verizon hotspot that you can add to your existing VZW plan for $20 a month. Kind of surprised it is debuting on this vehicle and not something like the .

Hit the magic number about 3 weeks before the 3 years ran out. Nothing but oil changes. Cheers to another trouble free 36K!

Since Antoine closed our Prime Day thread (after I was admittedly a bit of a dick, I have apologized to him), I was TOTALLY bummed that we won't get to continue our Air Fryer discussion!! I'M DYING TO KNOW HOW CHRISTOPHER'S $15 AIR FRYER TURNED OUT! hahahaha We haven't even opened the one we...
