I have enough toys for now, I have a gym to pay for and expand if possible, and I'm probably buying a car this week.

Tomorrow shall be spent largely on the Mazda 6 forums, getting every bit of useful information I can. Focal points are how to modify it with dollar efficient benefits, predominantly in terms of power, and in what tires can be fitted to it, because dollar for dollar, nothing really matches tires. It comes on 215/50VR17's. 215 is pretty narrow to my mind. Getting summer tires heading into winter is a bit silly, unless they do clearances, which is pretty damn unlikely.

 

[MotF Bane]

I want at least 225, preferably even 235. Reduce the sidewall too, maybe 40/45?

 

[MotF Bane]

A test drive might be done during night hours, so it'll be dim (though not full dark), I'd love to see how Mazda's tiny 2" diameter HID lights work. Obviously, they should beat my current GP's lights, and they'll fall far short of the G37x's bi-xenon Nissan projectors. Nissan and Acura make REALLY nice lights.

FYI:

Now picture that in black.

 

[MotF Bane]

Mazda's dark mica gray is one of the nicest grays I've ever seen. Subaru's DGM is the best gray I've ever seen. Unfortunately, this is pure black, just a classic gloss.

 

[MotF Bane]

The DRL's shown on the above picture are the innermost halogen lights. Next to that would be a small projector, then a colored halogen directional, then a slightly larger projector. I don't really know how their light system works. The capsule is even lower profile than my GP, which really sucks.

no sportsback? fail

 

[Barfo]

HP Touchpads on clearance for $99 (16 GB) or $149 (32 GB). The whole internet is abuzz about it and many sites are getting crushed.

[zzuupp]

ahahahahahahahaha

gasp for air

ahahahahahahahaha

no way you are going to find one.

You're prolly right, but it's not much of a detour. I just stay on the streets, and then take the next interstate entrance home.

I'm considered ordering one but then I remembered how much I hate android.

I drove by 4 stores today... and these were in the suburbs outside of Toronto... They had a notice taped to the door "No more HP TouchPad"

:biggrin:

No. I think the Mazda 6 hatch looks kinda silly. The only hatches I like the looks of are the late model Mazda 3 and the late model WRX/STI.

 

[alfa147x]

Juke? Does it come in a 5/6 speed?

 

[alfa147x]

I'm considering picking up a Miata but I kinda want an old datsun :\

 

[sdifox]
