I saw a debadged black Speed 3 in downtown PDX today, parked on Broadway around noon. Anyone?
Saw a silver MS6 parked at Auto Town Mazda today... Looked like service was done..... Anyone here?
I was there getting my oil changed....
Nuprin503 do you happen to work at the corner of 224 and Johnson RD or were you in the same parking lot as the Olive Garden on Sunnyside tonight 1/28? Ive been seeing a black 2010 MS3 around here a lot.

Nope.... I work in Portland, I was not around olive garden either. Also, I have a Liquid Silver 2010 MS3, not black. Hmmmmmm.... I wonder who has a black one.... Are you on here?? :)

Went on Thursday. How did you like it?
It was ok. Not as many sports cars as I'd like. Too many SUVs and boring sedans.
It seems the stifling economy has kept a lot of companies from coming to the show this year. I'm glad I didn't miss much :???:... Except Rudy Fernandez being there!
I always read the "spottings" from the Portland area, makes me want to drive up and just hit the roads and wave.............it is lonesome down here near to Florence. All the old folks in their Buicks and Ford F350's with one old dude driving.......and most all of them drive bad.
Anyway today it was fine and sunny and I wanted to get a snapshot of my car with new wheels and tires and the car was reasonably clean.
Spotted my "double" coming towards me on Hwy 126...........and they waved. OMG, one other enthused Mazda 3 owner in the vicinity.
Anyone here?
dmz
Edit: I was sooo excited to see a friendly Mazda 3 that I forgot to give more details, like it was gray, hatchback on Hwy 126 about 3PM on Sunday, 2/7.
I'm a Titanium Gray hatchback with charcoal Enkei wheels, all else pretty standard except for dark tinted windows.
Sorry, just an overstimulated newbie........

Last night around 9 at the Lebanon Wal-Mart, I saw a silver Mazda3 hatch.

That was quite the old spotting. You must have a steel trap of a memory if you can remember that you were at Wal-mart at around 9pm on October 17th, 2009. I'm simply amazed! ;)

It seems nobody sees anyone anymore. Or just doesn't post about it..

Well I saw TR MS3 last night in the pearl district of portland parked. Looked stock. Any MS3s in the pearl on here?
You want to know where I was on august 12th 1998 at 10 am? :lol: I didn't even look at the date, I assumed it was recent. But in all honesty it could have been me.

On the note of sightings: Do Mazda "enthusiasts" have a hand gesture or something that allows Mazda owners to acknowledge each other. For VW enthusiasts we flash each other the "V" if we pass one another. The problem seems to be that most 3's on the road are owned by people that see them as appliences therefore don't feel the need to be part of a community who enjoy their cars.
Saw a blue 3 with Axela badge on the left side of the trunk door, after market exhaust, brushed-metal gas cap, shiny wheels and possibly side skirts.

This was in Wilsonville. I was behind you, you turned to go to Frys and I followed you except I was going to McDonald's right next to it.
My first posting,

saw Euro Ford Focus EV being charged for an event in Portland State University; took the photo of it together with my 07 Speed. :D

Brother from different mother indeed; quite interesting seeing Euro Focus EV in the U.S. alongside the speed. Kinda make me wish that we had Euro Focus here in the U.S.; now I could understand why they raved it worldwide

Spotted a black ms3 here in Idaho with black wheels and a white mazdaspeed decal on the back driver side window. It was a chick driving it here near Boise.
