I got another one of those online Mazda surveys today, and the last question they asked me was "What does Zoom-Zoom mean to you?"
I replied, "It means late 90's to me. Where is that Zoom zoom kid now anyways? Is he done with college? Let's find something new."
After that, I was curious to know where he was so I googled "zoom zoom kid" and this was what i got. Forgive me if this is a repost but I did not find THIS in the search.

Mazda "Zoom-Zoom" Kid Arrested For Stalking (http://www.umich.edu/~uac/threeweeks/story1833.html?fpvol=4&fpiss=8&vol=4&iss=8&sto=6)
BLACKSBURG, VA--Billy Johnson, the twelve-year-old also known as the "zoom-zoom" kid from Mazda's latest television ad campaign, was arrested yesterday on charges of stalking and generally being creepy.
"He was just standing by the road, waiting for me to drive by," said Gladys Fitzsimmons, Johnson's latest victim. "Then I would drive by and he would just whisper 'zoom-zoom' like he was telling some horrible, horrible secret. A secret involving the word 'zoom.'"
This was the merely the latest in a reported fifty-three incidents involving the child and several Mazda owners. The victims encountered Johnson in various parking lots and roadsides, watching their cars pass by and whispering the inexplicable words to some invisible audience.
"I don't think he's been taught any other words," said Florida high school English teacher Gretchen Keeler when asked about her experience with Johnson. "I would back up and move forward and back up and move forward and he would just say it over and over again. Eventually, I ran out of gas and he seemed to become sad."
Johnson was raised from the age of three in a Mazda promotional indoctrination camp. "He has never been out of Mazda's close and tender care," said Martin McGregor, Johnson's legal representative. "Except when they dropped him off on the sides of deserted roads. But they always managed to find him wandering in the desert almost dead from dehydration. Remember: almost. My lawyer wanted me to stress that."
