finally warm enough here to start playing with the summer cars again. drove mine home from storage to install some stuff today. replaced the factory SRT badge with an X-Lume LED colorshift SRT badge with WiFi controller. you can use your cell phone to make it do basically any color, fade, strobe, switch/fade between select colors, or just stay a solid color while selecting how bright you want it. i will mostly only being using white and red. white matches my headlight halos and red matches the lighting i have in other places on the car. the red blue fade would probably get you in plenty of trouble. lol.

I don't know, there are some pretty cool rides in here. If I did not have kids.....This isn't the "cool as ****" cars thread. It's the thread for whatever car you're driving. Just needs wheels and a steering wheel. Doors not required.

Very nice Ford truck @Patrick Ingrassia
I'm still rockin' our 2003 Honda Odyssey we've owned for 12 years. 2 Kids, 3 dogs, snowboarding trips, and my wife's Costco runs necessitate a minivan. Its great for towing my supermotos to track days and gives me lots of room for crashing in the back after a long day on the race track. Its not cool but has served us very well with absolutely nothing required besides 2 brake jobs and regular maintenance. My buddys made fun of it when I first bought it but didn't mind asking to take it for road trips. Its comfortable and the miles fly by thanks to the TV and PlayStation, plus cops don't pull over dirty minivans as often as sportier rides. I am eyeing a very low mileage 2006 Mazdaspeed6 that will be harder to avoid tickets with but does remain under the radar for most people.

Speed6's are great rides, very underrated.

Agreed. They only lasted for 2 years and do have their downsides and things to look out for. I have a list of things to check on the car and hope all goes well. Mazda didn't really promote the car and some buyers were put off because it didn't offer an automatic transmission. It is a practical sporty car with 4 doors, AWD, and a good sized trunk and back seat.

I liked the 6, it was a contender for a while. What I really wanted was a Speed3, but they fit like a shoebox. Turns out Mazda's tag lines of being a driver's car is a bunch of bull- the steering and suspension were electronic and vague, no option for a stick, and they're moving toward CVTs only. Great feeling car, but the enjoyment died while it was moving.
Bring back the Speed6, give it closer to 300hp, an optional 6 speed, tighten up the steering and suspension, you have a car I think a lot of people would give a good look for as a 4 door around $30k.
