What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

[was98strat]

repairs, more repairs. Today it's rear swaybar links and bushings, right front strut and mounts...$800 worth oh well, cant complain too much the car is 6 years old and has 185,000km on the clock! hopefully I can get another 60-70,000km out of it before I have to replace it! I'd really like to make it to 300,000km but who knows!

Ditto!

I went with 5% on tint on mine. I love how it looks especially with the black wheels and dark gray, but you are correct, the outward visibility sucks at night. I have to roll down the windows to parallel park.

It's something about parallel parking and dark tint on the 5 that makes it hard. LOL...

Finally changed the cabin air filter and the fog light bulb. didnt have an h11 bulb, so had to go get one. they are much easier to change than the stupid h3 bulbs... or even the h7 for the lowbeams.

shift knob from my drift car!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rockin03mp5]

Those kind of knobs always remind me of something else.

I was thinking that but didnt want to say it...lol

Just say it... A vibrator!! They do look like it after all. Idk myself, but they may be useful at the track, but certainly look dumb and rice on a normal everyday vehicle and on regular surface streets. Just my opinion.

 

[DKaz]

Get a TWM Performance shift knob and shifter extender.

Same! LOL That's why I'm getting mine custom made with about the same proportions as the stock auto shifter.

 

[SaUcE]

lol that giant shifter is awesome.

Apart from the dirty thoughts, Does it light up at night? Is it rechargeable? Is it weighted?

BTW, what is the stuff coming out of the HVAC vents?

I got two more door dents today! I would love to keep my car ‘looking’ nice and new but it’s just impossible living in a city hence I’ve become mostly immune to this crap. It also looks like some older car ‘bumper-parked’ off my ass -hard. There's back residue on the bumper but luckily it comes off with some light scrubbing.

our M5 is no longer our only car; I picked up a '93 camry for serious cheap ($300) so I'm no longer driving the 5 to work. should reduce the annual mileage somewhat, since my wife doesn't use the car every day.
I AM going to use the 5 to pick up some drywall this weekend most likely. the camry is great for hauling junk (the trunk is huge) but the 5 is the one w/ the roof rack!
the camry gets a little better mpgs: 1st tank was 27.2, mostly hwy. the 5 usually gets me high 25 mixed. the camry has a larger tank too, so I can go more than 400 miles on a tank, whereas the best I can get in the 5 is 300 miles.

that is a good price on a car that will probably run forever. how much is insurance on the camry? probably more per year than you paid for it. so stupid.

IDK exactly, my wife handles that, but I think it's like another $25/mo.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

that wouldnt be too bad then. you wouldnt need collision at least.
