I got a new car recently and it makes me look cool. Well.. cooler than I already am of course.

Here are some pics of it. Its a 2004 Mazda 6 with the sports package. (Tinted windows, 17" alloy rims with low pro tires, spoiler, body kit)

Nice... but can it handle the snow? A friend of mine had a Mitsubishi Eclipse that everyone made fun of because it was soo small, but that baby did better than several SUVs in the last big snow fall in Philly!

Never doubt the spunk in a sportscar! :cool:

Nice man

I have the same car actually (fully loaded sports package, etc except in copper).

Bought it new in 2004 and put about 20k miles on it so far with no problems at all.

It actually does pretty well in the snow also - we don't get much in VA, but I drove around fine in a pretty decent snow last winter.

Good pick, hope you enjoy it!

What are the specs on that baby? Cylinders? Liters?

Is it fast?

its a 2.3L L4 DOHC I believe. Its a little 4 cyl but It has the sportstronic shifter which means its an automatic, but you can switch it over and shift manualy with a simple up and down of the shifter. For being stock and a 4 cylinder its VERY fast. I of course had to test it out and have smashed on several of the local asain kids with the suped up rides. Infact.. the only person that has beat me if you would call it racing (street racing is illegal don't do it :cool: ) was a newer model mustang. not the newest model, but a newer one. I think he had some enhancements on his car though.. and it was a V6. First thing thats going on my car after my warrenty expires is a shiny new cold air intake. I like horsepower.... its fun.

I bought a nice, sedate Audi 5000 last fall. It's a family car, a four door sedan.......

OK, a four door sedan with a 2.2 liter turbo charged 5 (yes, five) cylinder engine, a racing chip, and a beefed up turbo intake that shoves so much air in the engine it whistles when I shift gears.

I've never been so excited about a car in my whole life, just had to share!

:D

Just gotta love that delay to bring up the dramatic tension and surprise. :D It's like someone saying, "I got two pair to your full house.... Aces, and Aces!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!"
