NICE!! Already got wheels on her, huh?
I think we need a few more pics!!??
It took me more than 3 years to decide and buy the wheels I ended up with, and I am still happy w/them to this day. How do people just "buy wheels?"
'Guess I am just a cautious shopper, huh?
Are those ADR's?

Yeah, I too really like the new 5 series. And yours looks GREAT, though I'm not in the market for one... all except..... THAT SMILIE GRILL, which is actually more tolerable on the 5 than it is on the 3 series.
Of course you are in "Sunny San Diego" by you're own admission and Mazda's are not known for the coldest A/C in the country.
In all seriousness, with all that black and leather too, I wish you well this summer.

I, too, hate the "smiley face" that seems to have infested every model now. Those Mazda designers are idiots! The smiley face is one of the reasons I chose black, which blends in and mutes the smiley face.

I completely agree. Black does tone the "face" down by quite a bit. I even noticed that on the current, second gen 3 series cars.
I HAVE seen your car (well, one just like it, in black) the other day and I like it in person as much as from your pictures here.
It's a VERY good looking, I might even say Handsome car, from the back, down the sides and even across the front. It definitely has more character (and better taillights) than the previous gen cars did.
Mazda never could seem to settle on the taillights on the 1st gens? I've seen at least three different styles, and none look completely correct, IMO.

The 1st gen taillights are one reason I never bought one. These are MUCH better.
