its true. my mazda died on me yesterday around 1pm. it was pinging and knocking and right before i got to my shop it started making a weird ruff scratching sound then shut off. i didnt try and restart it, just pushed it into my shop (i was about 20 yards away) its getting fixed and a new tranny put in. lets just all say a prayer for my car and my hoola girl that they make it out of the shop good as new. ohh and im still gonna try and make the dyno day. if i have to ill put my rental car on the dyno (mazda 6) and see what she does

well my exhast fell off last week so it has nothing on there. from down pipe back! lol. my mechanic is realy cool though so he just is gonna tell him that he had to pull it off and he is taking off all the aftermarket stuff like the blow off valve and all that so it looks all stock. well i knew the tranny was going, but i didnt the motor!
so, i had a really bad experience yesterday. (sick) i woke up feeling like s*** but went to work anyway cause i'm on a month of probation due to showing up late on friday. buit that's a different story. so i was feeling like s*** and i got to work at 6:45 am. mind you i work outside, so the cold, wet weather wasn't helping one bit. i get off early cause my boss could tell that i wasn't well at all(puke) . i stumble to my bed and go to sleep for a few hours, then wake up around 5pm. i got up to go to the bathroom, and i completly black out and nail my head, left hadn , and right arm on something.
i end up making it to the doctor today and luckly nothing is seriously wrong. turns out that my blood sugar droped cause i didn't eat anything and i didn't eat anything cause i was sick. so it seems that i brought it on myself. anyway, see you guyes next week.

Can you start one here and then I'll move it for you?Allen said:
Hey, my car was broken into last night. The guy was slick to get into the car without triggering my alarm or else someone would probably have heard it ... and then the thief would most likely have seen a guy out there with a heat firing away at him (gun) . (REALLY foolish and lucky of the thief to take that chance, cuz you really don't know how some people protect themselves)
The thief knew not to unlock the doors to prevent the alarm from triggering. He (must be a HE, right?) crawled through the window and did the damage inside and crawled right back out like a dog. It's too bad he doesn't know that the security code for the radio is activated, so it's not likely he can use it... but some poor fool might buy it not knowning that.
They tried to get into my trunk, but the trunk released was disabled. I originally thought my rear seat locks were busted, but I think I just forgot to lock them. I tested them and they seem to be locked and working. One side of the seat was folded down but they didn't get anything from the trunk (empty anyways).
I'm almost willing to say they used tools to get into the car, but I'm no professional at any of this. What do you think?
So now that what's done is done, the car has to move on. Need to plan on replacing the stereo and fix the dash mount. That's really the question here... I'm posting some pics of the damage, could someone take a look at this and tell me if the entire dashboard needs to be replaced or if I can live with what's broken? Stuff is scratched, but will live with it if it works.
I guess I will search for another fake CF cover replacement or aftermarket type. I'll find another radio and I guess I'll consistently remove the face plate until I own a garage... and I need to make the next radio installation more secure. I know you can tie down the radio with metal cable so that it would take a lot of work to steal the head unit (although that would also risk more damage to the car if they tried).
So my question is... the dash mounts are broke in some areas, will this be a big issue for another head unit installation? Thanks.

pretty good day considering I got my car back from the dealership today. But had to pay $250 for the repair(new PS pump and coilpack). That could of bought some good mods. I could have finally got some headers! or part of an exhaust! GRRRR! so that pretty much totalled my day.

well, hopefully i'm not hypoglycemic. but i have to go get some blood work done soon. i'm feeling fine now though. just a little tired. i think i stressed myself out too much at work cause i lost my phone and i had to go searching for it. i work at a car auction, so you can imagen how difficult it was. good news is i found my phone and it looks like everything is fine now. (yippy)
