Well, you do hate technology...

 

[tweiss3]

You can still hate, respect, and use for your own amusement all at the same time.

 

[WillD]

Nerds.

Ha I was thinking the same thing.

Here's a list of all the games I have on my phone:

1-
2-
3-
4-
5-

Yep. None. The Chive app is the only app I use on a daily basis because boobies.

I didn't know you could get apps on your phone Evan.

LOL! Forgot all about that little tidbit.

I think I've narrowed the car search down to two Mazdas (go figure): 3i GT or 6 Touring. I think the 6 looks better all around although I'm curious what the "appearance package" is for the 3. I don't really need a vehicle the size of the 6 and for roughly the same price I can get a near fully-loaded 3i GT with more features and better fuel economy with only a slight reduction in power- and torque-to-weight ratios. I need to find some locally to check out and test drive. If Mazda decides to release the 6MT for the 3s that'll likely sway my decision in ites favor although I am curious what Ford and VW are doing for the 2015 Focus and Golf.

Sorry Nick, I know I can build a Fiesta ST for less but it falls short in the size and features catagories.

add power, power makes up for no features. And it has cool seats, the focus that is

Speaking of this!!! I was rooting around for spare miata parts and found a car phone. My dad's, of course. At first I was confused... but then I saw the little antenna and the cord... and the plug for the car.... awesome.

I've been in both 6 and 3 and I prefer the 6, it just seems to be a far better thought out and put together car over the new 3. IMO it looks better, the interior looks SO much better and personally is just laid out a lot better in the 6,

yup, I'd go for the 6

 

[pmartz16]

on top of all the stuff listed above. They look damn good too. Trying to convince my mom that she wants one

I don't need a stripped down car with power; my RX7 will more than satisfy that role. I'm looking for something to use as a DD that won't fall flat on its face when I turn the AC on, gets good fuel economy, and has the same or more space than my 2.

That's why I need to look at them in person. I agree the 6 looks better but I'm curious what this "appearance package" is for the 3. If it's anything like the regular Protege versus the MP3/P5/MSP then who knows. Interior-wise there are plusses and minusses for both. If I include the "appearance package" the 3i GT MSRP is $195 less than the 6 Touring and it comes with many more interior features. I'll need to drive both to figure out if the .056 hp/lb of the 3i GT is sufficient or if I need the .058 hp/lb of the 6 Touring. If Mazda ever releases the 3s with th 2.5L and 6MT that opens a whole new set of questions.

I have been in neither the 3 or the 6 but I would venture a guess the 6 has more room in the back for kids and their gear also a larger trunk/storage area for kids and their gear. IMO the 6 is a better looking vehicle.

Karma will catch up with you. (lol2) But I would go with the 6 if those are your choices.

Does it have the base and everything?? I've been trying to find one for a co-worker to put back into his 98 Continential as a gag.

lol! Shut up, Nick.

What? I didn't think I could find as good picture if you, but Google came through for me.

 

[XCLR8TN]

Yep!

If cars aren't your #1 passion, what's a close second? What are some of your other hobbies? Collect anything obscure or have any weird hobbies?

(I'm ******* bored at work...)

Bikes

I have lame hobbies. Drinking small amounts of alcohol, playing pool, going riding/walking/hiking/fishing/hunting/canoeing/camping.

I used to collect hot wheels and legos... but kind of stopped. I have way too many.

OH! I also like to buy car parts and never install them and then sell them at a loss years later. I really enjoy doing that. /sarcasm

 

[Perro del Sol]

Music, listening and playing it. Used to play Clarinet, Bass Clarinet and Tenor Sax. Have been thinking about getting back into it, but we'll see if I can find the time. Listen to everything, but Jazz has always been king......Miles, Coltrane, Parker, Dizzy, Monk, Tatum, Grapelli, Django, Brubeck,Desmond.......
