    New ride!

    This last weekend I brought home a 2014 Mazda 6 i Touring with just under 34,000 miles. The Acura will be sold in the next week or two, and it will be dearly missed, but I am looking forward to my time with my new baby!

    I learned how to detail(and made MANY mistakes)with the Acura even though the paint was SO sunburnt from the get go, and learned how to drive in that car. I`ve made some truly amazing memories with it, and those I will always remember. I love the Acura with all its faults(there`s a few), and always will, but it is time to move on to something new.

    This really is a great car, albeit not very sporty, but still a very nice, solid car to drive. And, this one is in quite good condition too! No dings or dents, and nothing is broken or really damaged. The paint is full of swirls, scratches, and holograms on the hood, all of which will be tackled in a couple weeks when I get the chance. These pics are after wash/iron-x/blackhole/Natty`s blue paste Saturday night, and then a rinse and Uber wipedown Sunday morning. This car will be a huge challenge(black, DD)but I`m very excited to really put my skills to the test

    Disappointed - was hoping to drool over a Viper.

    Nonetheless, I`ve always liked that body style Mazda6

    Lol I wish

    As a college student I definitely can`t afford a Viper. I`m just very glad/grateful that my parents wanted to get me a new car since the Acura started having issues. And an awesome car at that

    Check back in 8-10 years and hopefully it`ll be about a Viper

    Awesome congrats!! Hopefully it`s not rock hard Mazda paint. I worked on a Mazda and the black paint was some of the hardest I`ve ever seen. I think it was an older model than what you have.

    Thanks Ray!

    Hmm....thats interesting, I would`ve guessed it would be soft since its Japanese, but we shall see when get to put a buffer to it. I`d prefer that it not be ultra soft like the Acura though

    I had a Mazda 6 just like that one! I loved that car, the paint on mine was awful susceptible to rock chips, though. Be careful!

    Zoom Zoom, I was hoping for a late 90`s GTS in blue or red myself

    The new Mazda 6 is definitely one of the best styled affordable sedans on the market. Nice ride!

    Town North, you really are close to me. Town North is around 5-8 min (75) south of me. Mazda 6 is a good car, the only Mazda I like besides the MKI Miata and Mazda race cars. In its class, it is one of the better driving cars, IMO, congrats on the new wheels!
