Mine was made before the metal plates were installed at the factory. I thought they would only put it in for free if you were in an affected area like Vancouver Island or something funny like that.

I grew up on the Island, am now in Vancouver, and always think it's kind of cool when references to either pop up in AI, of all places. Now I'm curious...why is the Island particularly affected by people trying to kick Mazda 3 doors?

I heard it happened a bunch there. I guess thieves like to gossip about how to break into Mazdas? Of course, I could be totally mis-remembering...

I drove my friend's Accord of similar vintage with about 260,000 miles and it was great and had a super smooth shifting auto. I was very surprised.

What blows my mind is that is a lot of loving work and TLC dumped into a Skoda of all things but not just that it's one of the most generic at that! It's not even a proper classic Skoda but a modern model that you'd probably be able to find used for roughly the same as repairing the drat thing with OEM parts.

That work however is truly amazing and the people that do that are very skilled at their craft.

I would expect something like that at a "Buy Here Pay Here" lot but I'm really impressed at the gall of a normal dealer listing that, and saying they are giving you a $2k price break!

Have fun getting that thing to smog check right. If it was an FX16 it might be worth something.

Edit: Also I'm pretty sure that VIN is wrong.

You can toggle it on my '06 and it remembers the setting. I was driving from Grants Pass Oregon to Seattle yesterday and saw a Ford SUV doing 80 in the carpool lane in Bellevue with no lights on, in the rain.

Sometimes I have bad dreams where I am sitting in the back seat of the car and I am afraid I am going to crash because I can't see the road or control the car very well. Maybe this guy had the same fear and just extended the controls to the back seat.

Canadians often use feet / inches in my experience, also. Fahrenheit too, for ovens at least. Most of my experience is in B.C. though, could be different elsewhere.

Yeah the Canadian system is a bit odd. Officially metric, and anything big, small, or precise will be in metric, but it's colloquially imperial for roughly human-scale measures. The fahrenheit for ovens is a completely bizarre one though, because while I think water freezes at 32F, I have no idea what it boils at, and most Canadians have no idea what farenheit actually represents outside of vague stuff like 100 being when Americans start complaining it's hot out, and yet we cook our food using it and measure swimming pool temperature in it.
The UK is bizarro world too, because everything is metric except distance which is miles, and weight is some weird archaic thing called a stone.
When it comes to fuel economy, it's miles to the gallon, but you pump your gas in liters and nobody knows how many liters are in a gallon.

Older folks seem to be more versed in the "traditional" units; it wasn't that long ago Canada switched. Same with Australia. I imagine it's a big cultural shift, but, I can't say from experience -- we seem to be very behind the curve here in the U.S.
