My first was a 95 mazda MX-3 with 1.6 dohc 5spd, got t-bonded by a drunk drive, but i worked at a body shop and was learning upholstry so i bought a quarter panel for dirt cheap re-did the interior and painted it 2001 porsche metalic black (very similar to the current 3 black mica) and drove it till i joined the military. missed it so much i bought a new 2008 mazda 3 gt with navi (black mica) in august 2007. I had so much fun in my MX-3 especially after the paint job, it was the nicest mx around. My wife had a 95 pearl white 626 with the klde for her first car worn valve seals and egr valve did a numbers on engine but filling the cylinders with dexron 3 and sitting over night brought compression back and drove it for 3 more years tell it got a klze with headers and underdrive pully and rx8 wheel (damn shoulds kept the rx8 wheels i bought 300 for my 3) wireing nightmares and a cloged cat ended her life and now she is mexico.
