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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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:
