Welcome!

Read the stickies and go to your local club meet.

Keep your foot off the gas, and don't hot dog around corners.

Go to your local HDPE or Autocross for driving skills and fun.

No need to mod the car. The car can drive better than you can handle it.

, very true. And if you follow NYCGPS's advice you will soon have a stock pile of various brands of 20W-50 oil and super expensive Über rare JDM parts.

congrats on the car! i hate to be a downer. but maybe consider starting a savings account on the side. if you got an extended warranty then it may not be such a problem, but being over 100,000 miles you are over mazda engine core warranty. they are prone to seizing at any minute and they are not cheap to replace.

but anyways, drive her hard!

Warranty is still good if you buy it used. However, sdhill01, 134K is no longer in any warranty period.
