Our new ride

[AJ]

Well we did it. Bought our first new car. We had been looking around for some time. Drove a Dodge Caliber, Lexus RX330, and Mazdaspeed6 all in recent weeks. Also had the ever constant though of wanting the fun aspect back and that alwasy pointed me to an EVO. I was trying to sell the Jeep outright and pick up a certain black 2G AWD as well, but the Jeep just wasn't moving.

So all in all we found a car that just fit the bill on what we wanted out of a ride we'd have for several years.

Week now roll in a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 GT.

Standard Engine 2.3L I4
Standard Transmission 6 Speed Manual
Horsepower @ RPM 270@5500
Torque @ RPM 280@3000

Overall, I love every min driving this car it's the fun I'm looking for and the comfort and perks Jana and I both enjoy.

I'll try and take some pics of it soon. I'm hoping we toss in autostart and a nice window tinting before it get's too cold as well, then she will be 100% complete.

I'm going to wait on a DSM till we get a house with more room to work on it and store it.

We also locked in a 7 year / 75k mile warrenty and a few other perks as well. Like free oil changes as long as we own the car. And 5 cents off gas for 2 years, I think this comes in a $2000.00 gas card.

The best thing is the insurace was only $10 a month higher than what we paid for the Jeep, and we get 10 more mpg.

Congrats! Pics would be nice tho.

Sounds great! I'm sure you'll love the car, I was definitely impressed when I test-drove one as you well know. Did you get that darker silver color? Good warranty, free oil changes is great, and the $2000 gas card is cool. Check out that BP credit card though, definitely a great deal.

Awesome!! Bring it to Bees next week ;)

I've seen the car. This thing is TITS, and I would love to have one for a daily driver.

Don't forget to buy snow wheels/tires pretty quick here! Those 050's will not move in snow and get pretty slick in anything below 40.

Yeah, I've already got my eye on a set of Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozeros. It's either that or the Blizzak LM-22's for about $50 more a tire. I'm pretty limited with rollin on 18s. LOL
