    Ouch to the first gen, hope she gets better. Even though she did something stupid she still deserves her life.

    The second one is so much more beautiful! Congrats!

    There's another reason to ride in a vehicle that sits just a little high.

    Thanks to all for the welcome, My mods are starting to add up but this thing is screaming for a lift. So far I pulled the mud flaps, did the fog light mod (thanks to the DIY;)) killed the seat belt chime thanks to dsds:thumbsup: and debadged all but the TRD sticker but I plan on removing those as well. I plan on ordering soon the following : Icon coilovers, TC UCA's, and a good set of aals and rear shocks. I also want some 285 tires wraped around a set of Procomp 9089's in the Knight Chrome finnish. Has any one looked at some 9089s in that finnish in person? Just wondering if they look as good as I think.

    Wow guys, I hope that never happens to me...in a car I care about. The Mazda3, I couldn't care less as long as I survive with little to no scrapes or pain causers.

    Truck looks great! I'm uber jealous man, you are too lucky.

    LoHoNas - welcome, this is an awesome site - great bunch of guys and gals with a ton of knowledge.
