Back in a Mazda

[mountjonas]

Yup, we had an 06 mazda5 touring and for some reason traded it. With baby #2 on the way, we missed the size and versatility of the 5 so here it is. I've got to make room in the garage to fit all 3 cars, but the Wrx will probably be for sale, shortly. Hooray for impulsiveness!

This makes it our 4th Mazda.

91 FC Gtu
02 Protege5
06 Mazda5 Touring
and now, 08 copper red touring.

Welcome back.

Is tough to sell cars in favor of new members joining the family, but as a payback they bring tons of fun (and the funky Mazda5 also gives you some driving fun as well).

Were you able to get a stick or auto?

Oh, and I'm sure that WRX will be missed

Yes, kids totally make things fun. Our 2 year old is starting to talk in more cohesive sentences so that's amazing to see.

We wanted a touring, so it was auto only. Someone said that there's a few 08 touring manuals around, but I couldn't find any. For now, the wrx stays as a weekend toy for me. My wife wouldn't let me sell it or trade it in (yet) because she knows how much I love the stupid car.

got all 3 cars to fit the garage today. it's still messy, but getting it organized will happen over the summer.

Awesome. With those crazy tail lights on both those cars you would think they were related (the prius and the 5). Wish I had a garage that would fit 3 cars. I had a 2.5 car garage (could have fit 3-4 cars had it not had a divider down the middle) at my old house in toledo, but to move out of the gheto I had to take a hit and have a one car attached garage (and no way into it from the house), but no thugs in sylvania

+1, cool stuff

Yeah, with regards to the Prius, I remember in the early Mazda5 days that some owners were asked if it was a Mazda hybrid because the profile looks similar (freak)

Never seen those wheels on a Prius before, it looks good, and hey, you may not need to sell the WRX after all

We have a Prius touring, so it has the 16 wheels and ricerific bigger lip spoiler.
