What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

Today's forecast for me driving home: snowy with a chance of death. FML. Today is one of those days I wish I still had AWD on tap.
 
Lol Steve... it's nice to see you still miss the old girl. Now that I have the snows on, I can't wait to see some white stuff on the roads.
 
Speaking of snow, I just dropped off my brandy-new Altimax Arctics and my new (to me) 17" Mazda3 wheels at my local shop for mounting and balancing. I will not be fearing the white stuff this season!

...Oh, and I'm back. (thumb)

aha! RETIRE @ 38!??! wtf do you do? i mean ya 3 cars, so you must be doing fairly well for yourself. and eventually moving to Turkey? wow, otherside of teh world!
that whole, giving up some acres to builder, who builds and you get one of the Villa's sounds damn good to me, sounds tempting lol.
Yep...as stated, I'm military. 20 years in & your eligible to retire. I'm 1/2 way there w/10 yrs under my belt. With the few times I've deployed, I manage to put some aside as well as blow some :).
Since I spent 2 yrs of my military career in Turkey & got married to my wife there...Turkey is essentially now my 2nd home. Also, since her Mom does real estate, it makes it a bit easier to find property etc. Lemme put it to you this way, majority of the people (who can afford it) live in nice apartments in the city, but when the Summer comes around...everyone goes to their 'summer homes'...usually villas/houses in the country, by the lakes or by the Mediterranean. I'm digging for pics of the family house...but can't find it...gotta ask the wife.

did you not get any of the 100cm they're getting in london??

dropping mine back at the dealer tomorrow for it's new O2 sensor... which will hopefully help a lot with my fuel consumption issues
 
The tires are on the wheels and the wheels are on the car and it doesn't look half bad (other than the even more pronounced wheel gap). I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

I also took the time in the waning sunlight and the sub-30 degree temperatures to change my oil. That was fun. I'd kill for a garage.

Picked car up on Monday after aformentioned work. Two miles later, ABS, DSC, and traction control lights go off. Take back to dealer. Get rental back. Picked car up again today and everything is kosher. Combo of the new clutch and the rear diff mount have reaaaallly changed the car. Seems much much tighter! Going to ditch my Fujtia CAI this weekend and install the SLS test pipe hopefully along with my new COBB SRI
 
theres a high KM speed6 for sale not to far from me for $9000cdn black with the two tone leather anybody interested?? i can get more details

Its funny, we barely have a dusting in Toronto still (at least here in the east end). London gets hammered in the snow belt and it can barely affect us here. I saw on the news this morning that the 401 was closed for hours due to a 17-car accident last night.

Good luck with the O2 sensor, I hope it straightens things out for you.
 
Right now we're just getting brutal cold weather. Not much accumulation of snow, if at all.

Ordered some smoked front/rear reflectors for the Mustang yesterday.

welcome back!... wait, where'd you go?
 
hey batou, do you use tuner lugs with your stock wheels? i'm asking cause the stupid wheel locks that came with the car are starting to get stripped, thought getting a new key would fix it but its the actual lugs. so i was just going to use my lugs from my other wheels.
 
Took her in for oil and trans fluid change..Replaced air filter.....Also gave her a quick bath....
