Hello all! Discovered this forum a week or so ago, just now got around to signing up.

I have a 2003.5 Titanium Gray MazadaSpeed which I picked up two weeks ago today. It's got about 1050 miles on it, and I'm still giggling out loud at least once a day as I drive it around. This car is such a blast!

The other night I was at the drive through of a local burger joint here, and about five guys were craning their necks out the little drive-through window to get a look at it. They practically begged me to pull up to the front and pop the hood, so I did, and they all came out and made oooing and aahhing noises at the turbo, the wheels, the seats, etc. Great stuff.

Now what I need to do is find a V-6 Honda or something that thinks he's bad ass.

I'm very interested in all the aftermarket stuff you guys are talking about, like CAI's, and BOV's, and devices to increase the boost. The first thing I'm doing is draining the transaxle and refilling it with some Royal Purple 75W90 tomorrow, as I find the shifting to be a bit notchy, and difficult to get out of reverse at times.

Well, see you around the forums.

Never have I seen a new car that makes new owners so freakin' happy . Wait, Miatas do that too. Hmm...must be a Mazda thing.

Congrats!

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

As far as pics, I don't have an image hosting site yet. I do have some great shots I took, so let me see what I can do. Any suggestions for a site? I was just gonna Google up some places, but if ya'll know of a good image hosting place that you can recommend, that'd be welcome.

The board has its own image hosting. Just go to your user control panel and go to manage files. You can even create your own galleries!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I, of course, agree that it's a very fine car. I waited two months for the Titanium color to come in, by the way. And no, mikesmazda155, although I realize this a golden opportunity, , I don't wanna trade.

Speaking of colors, yours is the second electric blue 2003 MazdaSpeed I've seen. I saw one on the road here a couple of days ago. How is that possible? I thought they only came in black and orange. My first Mazda was a 2002 Protege, so I know I don't have much experience with the model lines, so if you could enlighten me, just what the hell is that thing?
