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

LOL so true!! We had to take the MS3 back to the tint guy to fix something and he couldn't figure out how to get it in reverse. instead of asking one of us, he went back in the shop and got another guy to come out and move it.
Lol. When he did my taillights he kept stalling trying to take off in 3rd.

I don't mean to keep whoring out my parts in here but I don't want to ship this stuff.

I'm selling my Rays/57 Motorsports with the Star Specs if anyone is interested. The tires are to the wear bars though.

Specs: 17x7 +50 w/ 225/45-17 tires. They have sweet Mazdaspeed center caps Ivan installed when he had them. They are all is really good condition but for one with some small scuffing on the lip of the wheel.

I'd like $675 for them.

Sexy wheels
 
I too love those wheels, but being out of a job right now is killing me. I'm tired of having BS jobs and can't wait to be done with school.
 
speaking of manuals, i got complimented on my car Monday night while loading my groceries into my car (my 6) and the shopping cart boy LOVED it, and among other things, asked if it was "stick" ... LOL

on Friday the guy at the AT&T store was complimenting me on it, said it looked like something out of the F&F!! LOL I've heard that a few times ... and then when I went to get gas right afterward, a guy at the gas station said something nice to me about it too!! My copper hatch always gets the looks and the comments. : ) my girl's a looker fo sho!! ; )

I haven't checked the weather for tonight, anyone hitting up SONIC?? At least it'll be warmer than last week! AND 1/2 price shakes after 8pm!! can't beat that, if nothing else!


I never get compliments on my car when I'm driving it. But let my wife drive it and everybody gives her compliments on it. An off topic last week I was ruling in the mini-van through town when I spotted a red Mazda 6 with black wheels. Haven't seen it since then, but when I am home most of the time I am in the van. So lets hope I am ruling in the Mazda next time I see him/her.
 
you could make it the meanest looking 2 in the world and i bet most of the country would still call it cute simply cause of size...

True that. Its gotta be a mazda thing with the ladies though...ive been asked about my "cute station wagon" before by some ladies lol.
 
Morning.

Glad things worked out with the tint Lauri. Always nice when people stand behind their product and give you outstanding customer service.

LOL at the cute 2. Like Levi said, don't think anything you can do to the car would ever get rid of that moniker. Speaking of I inquired about leasing a leftover 2012 sport last night. Sale price was $14,6 and came in white. :) Alas, the salesman said they don't do leases on 2012's.

Also drove a 6 touring and fell in love with it! You were right Nate, car is very nice and one I could see having for a long time. Of course my budget would have some trouble getting a sport in there so the touring is out of question. :( Thinking about a possible lease so I can get the payments down to a more comfortable level. Just not sure if I want to put a couple of thousand down to lower the payment more or not. If I end up buying the car that's one thing but if I trade it in I feel as though I'm just throwing that money away.

In all likelihood though, I'm probably going to get a used engine and swap it into my car to get it on the road. Then I'll part her out and make a little something on the mods and go from there. Dealer said they'd give me a minimum of $500 for her as-is but could get more if I get it towed over there for them to look at.
 
Girls always say my car is cute and I just look at them with this look of disgust then they correct and say I mean really manly and sweet... Thanks
 
Call them up and offer $12k for that 2. I got an email from a dealership for a 2013 2 touring in red for $15,140 that they would have to get from chicago. They can move alot on that price

Idk how these things work but could you try a dealer that says they will give you $5000 for any trade? Fred Martin in Barberton does that and I saw a white 6 there the other week. since there isn't too much movement on new car prices why not try that?
 
im falling asleep at my desk right now, damn. i had a late night of partying and sometime between when i got back home (2am) and when my buddy got back home (5am) one of my room mates cars got stolen. brand new focus. Thats Detroit for ya.

Didn't think they had a lot of room on the 2's given the already low price? Worth looking into though.

There was a Kia dealer in town that used to have those 'push, pull, drag' sales all the time where you'd get $5000. To my knowledge no one locally does that anymore but two dealers have now told me they'd look at the car as-is and give me something.

Damn, that's really bad! Hope they catch the bastards!!!! Oh yeah WAKE UP!!!! If that didn't work you can try what the tow truck driver did....mix contents of one 32oz soda with one Red Bull with one 5hr energy....then again it didn't work for him. :/

hahaha thats a radical combination. and im sure the car will come up somewhere. 3 years ago in detroit my cousin got his car stolen and they found it with bullet holes in the rear doors and an empty bottle of hennessy in the back seat.... all in the matter of a couple hours s*** started going down in his car haha.

and im seriously considering taking my lunch break and going to sleep in my car right now
 
Does anyone know of a good car detailing place in Cleveland or Akron? I want to get my entire car detailed (inside, outside, and engine bay). I know I could do it all myself, but I would rather not spend the time and energy doing it. I'm too busy unfortunately. I'd rather just pay someone to do it, especially someone that could do it way better than I can.
 
I know Jess has a friend who does that, and know someone I found with a Groupon, did a pretty good job with the Sonata. I can give you his info after I get home. He comes to your home\work, carries everything he needs in his car.
