The new house may eliminate some of these inconveniences.
I don't know if Tick garages his car.

where do you guys get your zaino, off the internet? I want some. Also I have noticed that squeaking noise I mentioned a few weeks ago on the driver's side door on several other occasions, usually when the weather is cold, even with the radio off. Almost sounds like there's some styrofoam or something in the door that makes a noise when the car goes over bumps. It's not there all the time so I'm sure if I take it to the service center and mention it to them it would disappear and I would accomplish nothing except to **** them off. Anyway it's not ultra annoying but I know it's there so just another quirk of the car I guess.

Car is at 900 miles got a warning letter from Cap Mazda that i should be well beyond the 5000 mile oil change.
Zaino was purchased online. If Rever is nice I may give him a tube to try it this weekend.

Oil pan replacement
Airbag recall
Heatshield recall
Rattle in doors
10k service

Like I said, don't skip gears that might be the most of the shifter linkage problem where you couldn't get into reverse.

Yeah I was in New Orleans for the past week for Mardi Gras. It was WAY too crowded though, and alot of craziness going on. Had my driver's license stolen while walking around on Bourbon street, so gotta goto DMV and get me another. Didn't see a single rx8 there, saw a few 350Z's. The people there really like Mercedes though for some reason, seems like one out of every five cars was a Benz. Road trip to Nawlins, anyone, anyone?

Free dynos in NoVA Mar 6-7 Just thought I'd pass that little bit o info around. AWD dyno, and I know we know some people with AWD... :D
I'm battling with a wheel bearing that took a shat on me, to think, that mazda would use a different spindle for ABS/nonABS cars of the exact same year...

So I dropped off my car at Capitol this morning for it's service, and now I'm going into withdrawl. They gave me a Grand Am GT because they didn't want to "make me" drive a Protege- think I would rather have had that. I feel like I'm driving a boat on wheels.
