Got my 08 CX9 GT (Non AWD) - Raleigh, NC

[rtpz00m3r]

So I am not new to Mazda's. This is my third starting from a Protege > Mazda 3 > CX9. I picked this up two weeks ago and I really liked it. I traded my F150 for it and I am glad I made that choice.

When I got it, it had 61K on it. I had a really good rate from the stealership with GAP coverage along with 36K/3YR Warranty. In fact, I will be taking advantage of the warranty to fix some minor stuff here and there and some TSB's.

For now, it will remain stock with an exception of a Saris 906 Crossbar for the factory railing. I will be carrying my bike and kayaks so the factory crossbar (which it didn't come with) is not going to work since it has a max load of 100lb.

I'm linking photos to my Picasa gallery. I will upload photos of the Saris crossbar after I install and take pictures this weekend.

Welcome! Jealous of the auto dim mirror...that's the one thing I don't have. I'm asking my wife for the Yakima universal fork mount bike tray for my birthday so I don't have to keep breaking down my bike to put it in the back anymore. (I have a serious issue with my narrow dropout on my KHS frame where I have to deflate the rear tire to get it past the brake pads, and have to tighten the xt quick release with superman strength so the tire doesn't rub the narrow dropout. My Geax teflon massive tires have something to do with that as well). I will be very happy when I don't have to take the rear wheel off anymore, except for flats which I never get with my Geax tires, but for the rare thorn.
