I had to pick and choose when I drive the G in the last few days. I'm running my Summer's and I took my winter beater to the wrecking yard last week. Winter still trying it's best not to leave. So the G is my only ride.

It was an emotional farewell. It was a 1992 Mazda 5spd. B2200 pick-up. I bought it brand new 17 years ago and finally retired it. Like losing a pet..lol

You bet Deane, We love the AWD. It's a 4x4 in a sporty luxury package.

I can imagine. I've never owned a car longer than 11 years but my wife says I had a tear in my eye when I let my 93 Mazda MX6 go.

I don't blame you! If I could justify it I'd have it one in a minute. There was an '08 lease takeover W/26K I saw yesterday in the paper.

The MX6 was a sharp looking car at the time. I believe it came with a 4 cyl. and the same V6 as the Ford Probe. As for my next vehicle it will be an AWD and most likely Infiniti.

We got a ton of snow in Fergus but I wasn't going anywhere today. I did let my mom take my car since her SUV was in the shop and she did not have much fun with the summer tires on. She never believed me about how bad it was with summer tires on and tons of snow on the roads. Today has changed that she wants no part of my car and the snow.

You're right about the engines and I thought so too on the looks. I had the 2.5 V6 5 spd LS model. Incredible car.

Nice choice. My next vehicle I will be stepping down to a basic economy car.
