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

House looks nice Chris! I actually like the sinks and gotta love a low maintenance yard, especially with your work travels. Shouldn't that spare room be Levi's? I always see Evan referring to him as monkeyass. lol

Fiji, did you buy it or just tormenting us with pics? I stopped at the local Mazda dealer tonight to see the new 3's and found one hatch outside the showroom and three sedans fresh off the truck in the parking lot. Thanks to the rain, not one salesperson came out to greet me during the 20 minutes I walked around them, guess they didn't want to melt. I'll have to go back on a nice day so I can sit inside one and get a first hand look/feel of the cockpit.

No teasing. I bought it today. Drove to Akron this morning to trade for it.

And salesmen don't like to go out in the rain unless you come inside. (lol2)
 
So who do I turn in my membership card to??

Can I still come to the QS&L meet next month?

it's still half mazda, so we can still be friends. that is a sharp looking car. if the 3's have a "happy face" grille, that has an "angry" grille
 
Nice pick up Nick!

I love how a lot of argument against that car is that "It doesn't have a real LSD. GARBAGE!" Coming from hardparkers...

Multimatic raced one last year in a few races, and seemed fast until they wrecked it. Sharp cars. Which option package?

Sweet and congrats!!!!

Well, if I'm standing out there for 20 minutes getting soaked you can get your ass out there to get wet with me. :p I did take a walk into the showroom though and saw this, didn't get a price on it though.

It's serious business.

I went cheap and got the ST1 package. Didn't want to pay for the Recaros since my fat butt doesn't fit in them very well. The stock seats are better than the 3 seats though with more side bolstering so I'm happy. And I probably won't ever push the car hard enough to notice the whole LSD/E-diff.

You're dead to me now.

The looks are OK, haven't driven one so I can't comment on that. If I can show up with an F-150, you can show up with that.

We can have our own corner of the lot together.

Congrats, Nick! Is that an ST? I'm not too hip to the new cars. I really like the way the new Fukuseseses look though. There is always at least one ST at every auto-x, they are sharp.

Yes it is. I tried a regular Focus and while a really good car, it felt slow compared to the Mazda and I wanted more power when I started looking.
 
I can't remember, but did you ever take the engine apart to see what else broke? shouldn't be too expensive to replace it. Hell, I have half the parts you'd need.
I have not, don't really have the time. I'm going to see how this goes and go from there.

I'll can join you with the Escape!
 
My brother loves his 2014 focus. Its just as quick as his Vue was, and he loves the almost 40mpg (with manual transmission) he is getting. ST was out of his price range.
