Well what's attached to a leash that it made itself?
The punchline is the way that you've been fuckin' yourself




Not a particularly good picture, but I can't get over how clean this car is for the miles. First wash today after 6 months of ownership.



Still need to clay below the bump strips on the doors (back had had enough at that point) and seal it, then work on the interior. Smells a bit inside and hopefully that's cleared up by a good scrub, otherwise I'll order an ozone generator. :v: ...Then black out the wheels and mirrors (clear is chipping) and put some UV protection on the headlights I just polished.

The numbers got leaked for about a 12 hour period. There is an online spreadsheet somewhere that suggests the numbers are accurate

Never got the louvers for mine. Wish I had. Also, I had the opposite badges. GT was still there but the oval was removed.

There are 4 different varieties that I know of that are for sale right now. There is always time for louvers.

I had my trunk re-painted when I had the spoiler holes filled in. I would've left the ford badge off too but it left holes in the bumper, whereas the GT one was just adhesive. Thats weird.

It used to be more "murdered" but when I had the offroad midpipe installed I thought I would try to look a little more inconspicuous.

Not for me.



Yeah, there were two holes where the oval was, but there wasn't any exposed metal so I just left it. I assume it's so they can just use the same trunk lid for all three models and just add the sticky badge on the left for GT or SVT.

I finally got around to washing the wagon a full week after picking it up from the dealership. A friend joined me with his '07 Eclipse tonight. I need to go over the headlights again and rewax it, but I'm going to keep polishing this turd until the outside is as clean as the inside. :toot:

You could do the motor swap but the guy who did an AWD swap had to cut up the chassis to fit the driveshaft tunnel. It's a drat shame Mazda never offered the MS6 as a wagon, I'd never want to own any other car again.

A Protégé 5 will rust out like nothing else, which is a shame because they're decent cars otherwise.

I looked at one a few weeks back that had no rust issues yet. I figure with enough coats of underbody protection it could survive a few seasons. But my jerk friend sniped it out from under me.
