The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Man up son! He'll I am a lot bigger than you and I fit in one, easily. The 5 is based on the 3 and it handles like one! If you are paying for it, it should not matter. If you really want one, let me know and I can have Montrose Mazda hook you up. Just let me know

Marlon, I'm going to have to talk with you soon about getting a new Mazda. I would like to buy one once winter is over and the roads are free of salt.

All I can say is I rented one from Hertz, and I along with a buddy rode from Indy to Iowa and we kept touching arms the whole way. Did not like that, if I have to go with a van I am between a Honda Oddessey and Toyota Sienna. Unless I can get a deal on a CX-9.

Montrose has a 2012 that is ready to go, Velocity Red Mica. Just let me know when you are ready.

That is the plan, it got dirty when the road was damp. Just wanted to make sure it was really clean and ready to go for tomorrow.
 
We need to do photo shot with all the black and white cars and set it up like a checker board. lol

I think we can get Chippy to do that! Good idea Marc, we can do a MOCO calendar too. I think we can use the Red cars too.

Looking good, Lauri. I like the white with black wheels. (nah-nah, Larry)
 
Oh well. I can live with it if you can haha. I guess Mazda chose to ignore my e-mail on wheel color options.

Yeah, this is a great idea! Basically, we need two lines of cars, facing back to back, where every car alternates between white and black. Then, you can take pictures of each individual car and the background will just be blurred out of the other "checks".....but I would also want to climb up high and get a straight overhead shot as well. I would say 10-12 total cars would be awesome, if not more!

This would be cool:

Also, I can get great high quality prints and such from Miller Labs. They have all sorts of neat stuff, including calendars. Pricing looks like $17.30 if I order more than 10 of them! Not too bad, I suppose.

Welp, today was the first day driving the other Protege in the snow. Man, what a huge difference compared to the P5 with snow tires. I'm really going to need some new tires. Anyone have a set of 4x100 wheels with decent tires and wouldn't mind parting with them?
 
Had a little off road excursion on turn one, past the drive way. (lol2) Then I almost slid into the intersection at the first stop sign.
 
Mine either apparently, I learned that in the first 10 seconds. Although I think I could at least manage to not die if I had some all seasons with tread, these tires are old.
