What Are You Driving ?

I'm thinking about wrapping my hood in flat black and the go wing on the back,What do you guys think

 

[SMman]

I think it would look good. Flat black wheels would complete the package. Nice ride.

I like those wheels better. I am not sure if I would do the entire hood flat black now. I hadn't noticed the stripes on the front fender. It looks great in the picture above. Any black at the back? The black spoiler sounds like a good idea.

I used to work at a Mazda dealership. We had a carbon edition Mazda3 back in 2012 which came with CF wrapped roof and mirrors. Unfortunately the wrap didn't hold up to road debris, especially the mirrors. It wasn't a very good seller. Good idea, poor execution.

Mazda needs to bring back the Speed6. The 3 is too small of a car; the 6 was pretty roomy and comfortable, but the powerplant options were junk.

Agreed. I took a 2006 Mazdaspeed6 on trade and it sat for a long time before I was able to sell it. Such a shame because it was a fun car to drive with AWD and 274hp from a 2.3L 4 cylinder. It wasn't designed to take the abuse its drivers often dished out and that damn clutch was super heavy. I wish Mazda North America would bring Mazda6 wagon (available with diesel option and 6 speed manual) here but alas, everyone wants a CUV/SUV. VW's diesel problems haven't helped. I also had used Mazda6 wagons sit on the lot for far too long. I sold a number of Mazdaspeed3s and I have a feeling they will be back now that the turbocharged 2.5L 4 was just released in the new 2017 CX-9. I was holding out for a Mazdaspeed2 because it would be like a go-kart for the street but the Mazda2 has been killed in North America and it is now hiding out as a sedan under the Scion iA (US) and Toyota Yaris sedan (Canada) nameplates. I often miss the car business but would never give up the job I have now. I still can't believe they pay me for what I do.

Man I LOVE this jeep.

A couple days ago I fired up the Mini. I've been driving the pickup since I bought it in October. I didn't prep the Mini for storage, I felt a bit bad. We finally had a warm, dry day (almost 40° and no salt spray) so I took her out in the subdivision for 15 minutes to get the juices flowing and shake off the cobwebs a bit.

That thing feels like a go-cart, now more than ever.

I've been racking up the miles for work lately. Just did a trip to Arkansas and stopped in Memphis. Took this at the huge Bass Pro there.
