Good morning! My name is Kurt.

I've had quite the variety of cars in the past, but either I'm getting old or this is one of my most enjoyable. Here's a quick list of what I've been in since I started driving in '05.

My first car: a 1993 Crown Victoria. Mods were dual exhaust and 3.55s.



Its replacement: A 2004 Crown Victoria. Over $5,000 in mods done by me.



The 2004's playmate in 2011: A 2001 Camaro Z28, SLP Loudmouth exhaust.



Traded those two in on this two weeks after getting married: 2006 GTO, one of 227 made (blue/blue/stick/17s).



That turned out to be a problem child, so nine months later I went back to my safety net and found a 2005 Crown Vic, same as my '04, with 10,100 miles.



That turned out to be a mistake, as it reminded me of all the good times with the '04 and it was not as fun.

SO

Last Thursday, I picked this up.


2014 Mazda 3 i Sport, Soul Red, stick. I love it! I have always had a soft spot for Mazdas, but had never seriously considered one till I realized for the same cash I was putting out a month for the '05 Vic, I could be in something new.



Thanks for reading!

 

Congratulations for the marriage. The car is not bad either!

(hint: long term both need maintenance. But I digress)

 

Nice car!! Quite a change from all those Crown Vickie's, huh? Welcome aboard, Kurt!!
