    Gas prices dropping

    I can't complain too much.. around philly it's $2.50 for 93 octane. A month ago it was $3.35. It's funny that nobody from government/corporations want to say why the gas has dropped so much. Couldn't have anything to do with the upcoming elections in November......hmmm. Even with the oil...

    Tire Wear

    OEM tires generally are not the best,..for many reasons. 1. Price. Pay now or pay later. Most people would rather see a lower sticker price. 2. Most normal sedans/coupes/suvs use tires that fall in the middle of their intended purpose. They need to be quiet and comfortable while also...

    Tire Wear

    As far as the industry misleading the consumer with inflated treadwear numbers.....who knows. (dunno) A thought here though is that I imagine the inflation happens more with those tires being sold/marketed for longevity,...ie. the 60K mile tire. Yes it may very well happen with a performance...

    Tire Wear

    (RTM) ...remember that you bought a fairly high performance vehicle. It did not come from the factory with wimpy all season tires with a treadwear of 440. I believe the treadwear on the Potenzas is 140...i could be wrong,..but I know it is very low. It's a soft compound summer tire. Same...

    MS6 from a roll

    hahaha..you know what i mean... Sorry, too many hours of work, not enough sleep. How about rolling on from 5, or 10 mph? What is the power like. I assume you have to wait for the boost to build. Is there a retard smiley somewhere i can use.(stupid) i like this one..

    MS6 from a roll

    I know what the car is capable of when it's launched,..but 9 times out of 10 i like to just roll on...rather than beat the hell out of the clutch and drivetrain by revving and dropping. What is the 0-60 like from a roll? The wrx is quick when launched,..but from a roll it is a dog. Wondered...

    C&D MS3 Review, 1 Down, 2 to Go

    Is anyone else disappointed? The 0-60 time is good...but they had to WORK to get that. Obviously the driver comes into play,..but these guys drive any and every car out there. It's their job! 14.4 in the quarter!!?? Whats up with that? I am sure that once the technique is perfected, with...

    ms3 ordered

    Very true. Don't get me wrong..I love the MS6..it felt amazing. But it still felt like a 6...a little bit big and heavy. Plus no folding rear seat?! (uhm) What if I want to haul lumber..lol..jk.

    My new Mazdaspeed 3...

    Where are more pics?? We are dieing over here in the states!! Congrats!! Question for you though,..are the seats much more supportive than the standard 3? The bolsters in your pics do not seem very large. How does it drive? Any trouble with traction when launching from a roll?

    ms3 ordered

    I just put a deposit today on a Sport(black). It was a hardddd decision since the dealer was trying to sell me a MS6 sport for 23,000. I am paying sticker for the MS3...unfortunately. A limited supply and high demand=no discounts. On the other hand,...they were offering $5500 off the sticker...

    MS6 or MS3!!!???

    I forgot about the rear seat not folding down. I think I have made my mind up...I want the MS3! I am not looking to take the car to the track, and rarely ever launch my cars, so off the line performance doesn't matter as much. I prefer to just roll on and then punch it. Also, I have a large...

    MS6 or MS3!!!???

    I am a newbie and will be buying either a MS6 or MS3. I went to my local dealership tonight..... 23K for a MS6 without even starting negotiations. I could take delivery tomorrow if I wanted. Or....they have a black MS3 sport coming in 5 weeks that will be basically the same price. I could...
