Unhappy Sedan is Gone

Well Folks,

I traded in my '05 Sedan on Monday and bought, not leased, a new vehicle. Moving to San Antonio, will all the hills, made me hate having a 6 speed vehicle. Also, with the fuel prices going higher and higher, I decided to get a vehicle that is a little more fuel efficient. My new vehicle will arrive to the dealership until Thursday afternoon. I will be getting an '08 Mazda 3s Grand Touring 5 door. The car is fun to drive and grips down on the roads well, however, it does not have power anywhere close to the G's what so ever, Oh well. I'm sure I can find some things to make the car quicker. I wish Stillen had things for the Mazda's.

Again, it was great having two G35 Sedans.

Nah. Honda does not offer Xenon headlights like Mazda does on the Mazda 3s Grand Touring. Also, the 3GT handels great on the road. Holds to the road tighter than the G35 I had. The only bad this is that Ford Motor Company, does not offer XM Sat. Only Sirius and they SU**!!!!!! On Tuesday, I went to Best Buy and bought the XM stuff which my friend and I will install when ever my Mazda arrives in San Antonio. It was suppose to have been here today but, the dealership who had it sold it. Darn. I want the 3s GT BAD!!! I miss those darn xenon headlights.

Oh yeah, I wish Stillen made things for the Mazda 3.

Well Cato, Just think. My new Mazda keeps me being part Houstonian. The dealership in SA that I bought the car from had to dealer transfer it from a Mazda dealership in Kingwood. I will post a pic, or two, when I have a chance to take them.

Well Mr. Cato,

If a Mazda dealer installs the following Mazdaspeed items:

Mazdaspeed Cold Air Intake
Mazdaspeed Coil Over Suspension Kit

They will be covered under warranty, so HA!

Now, if Stillen could make more performance things for Mazda's, then, Stillen will make a great deal of Money. There are several Mazda performace sites that I've found but, I wish to meet people here in San Antonio to see what they have done to their vehicles 1st before I try to do anything to my car.

BTW - Here is my new toy.

Well, there really are not any performance shops here in San Antonio. Also, I did not know how to take the MRev off the car. Also, I did not want to go out and mess up anything under the hood since I really do not know many people here.
