Now all Zoom Zoom family.
 
Some/all/none have seen my red vmounted turbo track miata. A few have seen my blue/purple one that is getting some "random" motor swap. No one has really seen the new Mazda that followed us home yet, so I figured a mini thread to update.

The white one followed the wife and I home this weekend.

Can see the red one living on jackstands in the back... what can I say... I've been F'ing lazy.

Haven't gotten through a tank of gas so far and having picked it up with 7 miles, no beating on it. So far though it has been great, very nimble, great steering feel, awesome brakes (11.8F/11R), even partial throttle it wants to Zoom Zoom :p. Basically a great commuter for the wife... with room for baby seats down the road.... and an all weather trunk tray so I can lug motors and shit around.

The blue one looks sad that he lost his place in the garage to the white one.

Lol, it never got garage space. Well for a day when I pulled the drivetrain. It'll spend LOTs of time once I start on the project destined for it though.

I see a hidden gem there in the back ;)

Can't decide how I feel about the 3s, although I'm sure if I poked around one for a bit I'd like it. Congrats on the new car. I think my future holds only mazdas for bit.

Is the blue one getting a VQ swap? Congrats on the new 3.

I have a dark blue MX-5 and the Mrs has a white Protege, kinda the same! :)

They are down now... last I checked we don't have as temperate weather as San Fran.... so F off.

I really like 3's with the exception of the grill. Why the hell did Mazda think they needed the grill to look like a huge gawping smile? They should have made it look mean, not giddy.

+1 on xmas lights still up

Not so much F off if you had to make a lame excuse about weather or whatever. Try harder next time.

I think I'll put them back up this weekend.

Need to see if I can find some nice multi-color ones to frame more of the house.

Like totally dude.

Hows that for another useless catch phrase?

I wonder if your 108 other posts are as awe inspiring.
Possibly more so than kenzo with his mods list of nothing installed.

Someones a little bitter!
