This picture makes me sad :(

I worry about that crap everyday, some random idiot hitting you in traffic. The last time it happened to me I had an old Subbie, so no big deal.
 
That sucks! I hate if for Chris. It seems he has the worst luck. I loved his car so much. Sucks.

Any idea of what he will do next.....car wise? Or has it not really fallen just down for a while?

I am working on installing an air/fuel and voltmeter gauge and it would be great if you guys could help me out on a few questions.

First of on the back of the voltmeter gauge there are three smaller peggs, do all these need to be wired to a switched positive wire for all the lights to work on the gauge? Here is a pic of what I am talking about:

Secondly I was having trouble finding a good switched positive wire under the dash of my P5, anyone know a good one to splice into?
 
I plan to aim the headlights as soon as I get home from work. Driving home last night in the rain / snow mix with 55w HIDs pointing upwards was painful to others...
 
well my P5 is at the dealer.

everything is stock so I'm checking out the clunking in the front and back.
front clunk happens when i go into reverse.
rear clunk happens over bumps and into dips.
i might need a new head gasket, some oil is leaking at a bolt near where you fill the oil.
and heater doesn't work properly.

i have the extended protection plan with mazda so i figured id see what'll get covered under warranty. mines a 2002 with 92600 miles. wish me luck. ;) hopefully i won't need to pay outa my own pocket *knock on wood*
 
my baby was violated on the weekend :( she was parked in the driveway and somehow was left unlocked, so thankfully there's no damage to the car. bastards took the garage door opener (which has since been reprogrammed), my little baggie with a few tools and my wheel lock key (VERY pissed about that) from the glovebox, and my custom sub box and sub. they didn't touch the HU though, which kind of baffles me. also took some stuff from our neighbour's jeep, which was also unlocked (xm satellite radio, and a couple other small, easy to grab items).

all in all, could have been a lot worse, but as it is i'm pissed; not so much that they took my stuff, but at the whole inconvenience and aggravation of the situation. especially because i now have to cross my fingers and hope that i can get the wheels off the car without damaging them or breaking something. wish me luck on that...
 
you wont be getting the wheels off w/ out that key...your dealer should be able to get you another.
