Was this on the way to EECMM?

I've definitely 'cock-blocked' someone on the road with friends, via cell phone or 2-way radio. The expressions can be priceless. Even more fun when they try to be tough, but don't realize you've got 5 people in your car, as well as 8-10 others between the cars. Mass outnumbering FTW!

nope 30 of us went on a ski trip to VT last weekend, i wanna go to EECMM next year tho
 
When Someone comes up to you and say's why's there like a bulge on your hood.

Or when you go to your nearest Royal Quick lube to get an oil change and it cost almost $80(crazy)
 
When I gave it a little bit more gas to pass someone, looked down, and realized I was pushing 110
 
I find a lot of the ones I see in MI are driven by middle aged men, and are bone stock. I don't see many modified MS6's at all.

In some ways, that was probably the right market for this car. The GT has all the trimmings you might want (in 2006-7 anyways) for a good price, and in a package that can also be a lot of fun to drive and really go when you want it. And, at least in my case, I really like the fact that it's a totally stealth rocket.

Some of us just don't have the time to do much to our cars besides keep up on the maintenance...middle aged usually means working a lot of long hours and having a family. I think Mazda was aiming more towards that group than the tuner crowd...the 3 is for the tuners, really. Unfortunately, that middle aged crowd still thinks in terms like BMW and just missed out on this car.

i definately know what you mean lol. On the way home from the dealership, i kinda zoned out on the tollway and happened to look down and i was already going 110. I now know when the i need to back off thanks to the intake helping me here the turbo spool up (rockon)

that's what the tollway is for, zoning out and pushing 100+.
 
when...

... a friend in his v6 MZ6 swears he can keep up with you... from a dig.
... when a 1st gen MX-6 GT driver looks at my car after hearing it's FI/AWD and goes "REALLY?! i thought i was just a typical MZ6 family sedan!"
... when you go to your regular car wash and EVERY time while it is being hand dried the manager stands there and stares at your car. lol

sleeper status ftw. 75% of people that comment on our car's looks don't realize its not just an MZ6. haha
ours are rare enough where they arent quite as known as the MS3...
 
when the owner of the mazda dealership comes to the sales office to meet and thank you in person because you bought a car from him and not from your father at another dealership down the street(lol2)
 
Hood of the MS6 is wut makes me aware its a MS6. and MS3 i have to go look at the badge.,.,.

never seen both were i live, cuz people dont care about cars and they just wut to get the hell out of snow.,.
 
You have a brief hint of envy when someone drives by in an Audi S6 but it quickly goes away when you realize you saved $20,000 which you can use on mods! :)
 
The gap between the spoiler and the hatch is always what I look for first with a MS3. For the MS6, the first thing I notice/look for is the splitter from the rear, or the larger grill from the front.

back to bidness:

You know you are driving a MS6 when the guy in the truck with the performance stickers in the rear window wants a fourth chance to keep up with you, like the first 3 had to be a fluke (closed course, sanctioned race, of course).
 
Some yutz in one of the new style butch Camrys is following you closely until you rail around a corner, you look in your rearview to see him madly understeering through.
 
when you are constantly paranoid about your rear diff, mainly the rear diff mount/bolts.
and instead get rear axle seal leaks. >_<"
 
You know you are driving a MS6 when you tell some one its a "Speed6" and they look at you and say "I didnt ask you how many speeds it has, i asked what model is it?"

. . . When you are following a Mustang and watch him make a pathetic attempt at losing you, and realize that you have to use your brakes so you dont hit him when you push it. <<< True story

When:

"What kinds of mods do you have done to your car?"
"I just put in the cobb turbo inlet pipe and I-"
"Wait what? You put a cobb turbo in?"

True story too.
 
When...
... you are on your third stock turbo at 40,000 miles. :P

Dick move I know but had to be done xD.

... you show your baby to another car enthusiast and he replys, " Oh yeah those things are fast. Wait thats turbo? AND awd?"

... 3 different honda's pull up to you 3 different times in one night and ask you if it's "supercharged." (True story... they thought my intake was a supercharger -.-)

... you totally spaz out and try to catch up to the Mazda6 you think is a speed6.
 
When you have to keep telling the guy at the counter of the parts dept/shop over and over "no I don't need the part for the regular 4 or v6, its the mazdaspeed part!" Sorry, went to buy a new cabin air filter the other day and its such a pain!
 
You know you're driving an MS6 when some goofball in a P5 asks if you'd like to trade cars for the day.

me = goofball.

Any takers?

:)
 
when...
...you get written up for a parking ticket on a college campus , but don't have to pay for it because under make/model was written: SUBARU (true story)

...every damn girl that gets in your car looks at you surprised and says, "wow.... nice car!":D
