Picked up my car yesterday and love it already

[Topher's Wife]

its funny you mention coolant because if I don't have the ac on - the inside of my car feels like a freaking crematorium

That's how Chris' (topher) car was when he first go it. It's because the car is black and the interior is black. Save up some money and take it to Chico's to get him to tint the windows. Make sure you get 20 though....I have legal and it's not dark enough. Chris has 20 and it has helped a lot.

You should definitely bring it in for them to look at it. I wouldn't chance anything. You say that you are going to buy the other one on the floor....for yourself?

Oh and it probably wasn't you that tried to race me today. This girl definitely was trying. If your car is having that much trouble you wouldn't have kept up as much as she did. Anyways. Her's was probably stock. She almost had a damn accident too. Some people kill me. I blew her f-ing socks off today though. Don't test me unless you know how to drive it.

Re: so anyway

Do me a favor and tell me what you boys would do first to get the most of her speed wise and I'll check back later this afternoon and bug you with more virgin car questions. I have to get SOME work done so I can get off on time tomorrow - nothing worse than working late on a Friday night!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone - I look forward to getting to know you all. Cya later!

edit.

I couldn't help but notice that you complained about the rusty rotor hubs. There is a TSB out for that where the dealer is supposed to fix it for you! While you're in there for the "hesitation" (or whatever that problem is) get him to fix the rust!

This is nothing personal against Topher, but IMHO the dealership should have fixed those rusty rotor hubs BEFORE they sold it!! Just another lazy dealership that does the minimum that they can "get by" with - hoping you wouldn't complain about it.:mad:

For me, I scrubbed the rust off and re-painted them myself - but since you're going into the dealership anyway, might as well get your money's worth.

i had no idea about this...i get pissed everytime i look down and see the rust on my rotors...
i WOULD bring that up to our service dept...BUT...it took them 3 days to change my valve-cover...change my belts...and do an oil change...yep, 3 ******* days. the valve-cover was done the first day...and I changed my belts during lunch...but it took 2 extra days for the damn oil change. AND my wife's radiator busted on her car this morning while i was driving it to work...i have it 3rd in line for service...and does it get done? hell ******* no. they didn't even order the radiator until 4:30...hell, the place closes at 5:00...bulls*** bulls*** bulls*** bulls***...all because i'm a ******* employee...and i had to beg for a ******* rental car.

sorry, had to vent.

You serious about the rusty rotors?? To bad they'll probably take 3 days to repaint them. I'll just have to wait till i get a big enough list to justify me not having my car for 3 days.

 

[Topher's Wife]

that's ok baby. let it not be done today. they'll be wishing that I had taken it to Honda.

Topher - see if they'll clean my rotors for me while they already have it - and what's the sticker on the silver one on the showroom floor - its for my husband - he wants one - I have to see if I can get out from underneath my other vehicle though - I'm pretty upside down - we will see. Work with me here - how much play is there in the price??

I hope David doesn't get all upset that I might buy this car from you. He's a nice guy and all but you seem like you know what you are talking about and I don't so I need some one who can give me reliable information. Thanks for all your help so far!! And to your wife - if it was me I wasn't thinking I could beat anyone I was probably just in a hurry and pissed at the car. Maybe one day I'll be able to beat someone.... (blackpro)

 

[stdntDrvr]

i'm not at work today...if your car is still there tomorrow, i'll talk to them about it.
the sticker on the silver mazdaspeed is 21,000...i'm not sure what you paid for yours...but i'm sure we can work something out to help with your negative equity.
yeah, i think david was pissed yesterday when you asked for me...oh well...he needs to learn about what he's selling...

 

[CatchMe]

he'll get over it - its nothing personal - besides it wouldn't be fair to buy both cars from him...he's gotta learn to share the wealth.

I'll call the shop and tell them about the brakes this morning - hopefully they can knock that out real quick before I get the car back. Have a good day off!!!
