Apparently, I never made a thread, I can't find it, or it was deleted back in the day when we were hacked, so here's my car's thread. I joined the forums in Nov 2003 because I loved the car. In June of 2004 I purchased my car, strato blue, mtx, 35% tint, 200 miles on the ODO, sports package, side airbags and ABS.
The day I got my car (Can we say 4 by 4?):

Present day, April 1, 2009 (5 years old and 66,680 miles), new bumper courtesy of a taxi cab:

It may not be as shiny as a 2010 Mazda3, but I love it:

Hot car, I really like it.

I was gonna say nice car man, but I think you're a woman!

Haha, lucky guess...

The only thing I'd recommend is getting new floor mats. I have the same mats as you, and every time I look at them I want to kill myself. They get so dirty, and they're all hard and crusty and I shampoo them. I'm trying to get all-weather mats. Aside from that, you keep your car in great condition!

Not a bad idea. I've actually washed them before, so I might do that again instead, hehe. To my credit, I didn't clean the interior before I took the pics and it was at the body shop for the last 3 weeks.

I so tried to get a pic of my odometer when it hit 66666 miles! But...

1. I was driving.
2. The sun was in a bad spot.
3. Traffic was a little heavy.
4. There was a cop watching me....

I was driving too. Luckily Texas highways are BIG and there were no cars around me. iPhone ftw.

Wonderfully. Only one recall (gas cap) and no warranty work. Suspension's still stiff, brakes are good, clutch is good. I'm on my second windshield and need another, but that's easily fixable.
