If you are so savy as to guarantee a 10% return on your investments, I doubt you're driving a Mazda (unless you are just starting out). And if that's the case, I'm sure you will realize in the years to come, nothing is guaranteed in the realm of financials.

Yeah, I'm paying off my MS3 this month. It took me nine months of spartan living, but it will be nice to have the car payed off within the first year. And as far as gas mileage, I get about 300 miles on a tank. I take it very easy around town, but I routinely drive 85-95 miles an hour on the...

Only gained a second...that's huge, I'd say that was well worth it. But I do agree to have experienced drivers do this, you can get sideways in a hurry if you don't know what you're doing.

The MS3 plays well with others, but my GTO has a red headed stepchild complex. She just sits there and broods, can't understand why I drive the MS3 everyday and her only on the weekends.

Thanks for the update Captain. I think people just wonder when they don't hear anything if maybe the whole project got scrapped. I'll patiently wait, Sept, Oct, Nov, whenever. If this thing performs as advertised, then it will be well worth the wait (2thumbs).

Congrats on the new car. How much did the insurance end up paying you?

I'm In Like Flynn on this one, add another XEDE sold when its ready.

Doh!

Yeah, that's what I'm experiencing. I'll have to do a search and read up, course not a whole lot can be done I imagine. Shorter peeps probably don't have that problem.

I need a lot more seat time before I can say with the MS3. My initial thoughts so far are all on the positive side. I absolutely love the comfort of my GTO, but I don't think it is fair to compare the two. For me the MS3 fits the bill for what it needs to do, get me to work reliably, and when...

Well, I would have liked to have gotten black, but like I said this is going to have to be my commuter so I picked up the silver. Just a color that hides the most I guess, I don't hate it but like I said, I would have gotten the black if I didn't have to freeway commute. That freeway makes...

10-4, I hope your right. I guess you can say I'm already "jaded". I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt too, but when the jig is up sometimes you've got to get down to business. Again, I hope your friend does the right thing. On a side note, most stolen cars are used for another...

2007 Sunlight Silver MazdaSpeed3 Picked it up yesterday (05/13/07).

Yeah, I get it from u vette guys all the time. My speed shop is all corvettes so everytime I go in I get it (all in good fun of course). But that blashpemy is consistent with the GTO heritage. Taken from the Ferrari 250 GTO, in 1964 it was considered to be the most sacrilegious act of the...

Sorry for your loss, that's just plain wrong. And for the "friend" that brought him, if I brought someone to a party and they did something like that, I would feel responsible and do everything I could to find that person. If he isn't, then you can bet he 1) isn't your friend at all, 2) is...

Like stated before, to get a wax off, just use some liquid dishsoap next wash. Then you can work on the water spots and wax again. As for the original poster, I've used Nu Finish over the last couple of years. I think its classified as a polish, not a wax. About every six months I'll use it...

Yeah, I finally found a dealer willing to sell a car. Matter of fact I just drove it home an hour ago. Boy, do I have to relearn driving a front wheel drive car. I haven't had a fwd in over 15 years, and never had one with this kind of punch. I can no longer glaze over discussions about...

Thanks guys, that helps, I'll get them to clarify when I go in today.

I'm going to pick up my MS3 today and I told the dealership I wanted to sleep on the clearcoat option. Is it a nobrainer? Should I get it? I think it was $495. I didn't realize cars didn't come with a clearcoat anymore. I was planning on getting it, but thought I'd check here first. Thanks...

Yeah, I feel you. Although a popular upgrade for the goats is the Australian brand Pedders Suspension components. I've upgraded with some Pedders bushings and coils and have installed Hotchkis front and rear sway bars. This has really tightened up the ride a lot. Still, I would need to go to...
