60k miles..my list of problems..likes and dislikes
 
ok i have been letting my girl use the 8 cuz we turbochargerd the Z and she going to use it for drift shows and she has been contacted to drift for driftingpretty.com..it now has 60k+ and so far no major mechanical problems.. except for a bunch of recalls.. a headlight and taillight problem..mechanically it feels like the first day I got it..My big problem is the gas milege and constant oil refills..plus service isnt all great mazda can sometimes be dicks.. it is more spacious than my s2k and my gurls Z..overall its a good car..i think it can go 100k with no engine probs..

It's actually a pretty good Reader's Digest version of several ever-popular posts:

o He gets to say how much he loves the car.

o He gripes about oil use.

o He gripes about mileage.

o He gripes about Mazda service.

As a bonus, he tosses in a nice pic of his girlfriend.

If everyone was that efficient with their posts, the bandwidth would go a lot further.

My Bull Shit detector just went nuts. I'd be amazed if he doesn't have an F430, S7, and a Enzo too.

I bet his Civic was neet.

What do you do to afford all those cars? Independently wealthy? Brain surgeon?

p-trix 02-05-2007 11:42 AM

My cousin sells Toyotas and drives an EVO MR, S2000, and a C class benz. He is not rich, just single. You don't have to be rich to have a lot of cars. I know guys in the service that have 100k cars and make 30k a year. I could sell my house an afford three more RX8's. You don't know him so why doubt him. The definition of "haters".

PSUGreySreet 02-06-2007 07:47 AM

Its one thing to come on here and say how reliable the 8 is and to maybe mention you have another nice vehicle in the wings if it fits into context, but when other people don't ask about your other cars and someone goes into listing 4 or 5 others for no reason in seperate posts... it gets to me... Are you that unhappy in your life or with yourself, that you need to prove how material you are. Be humble man...

I'm not saying I don't believe you, but one of my big pet-peeves is when people have to show off their materials gifts just to earn self-satisfaction.

And I think this was the intention of the OP (to get applause & compliments), so for you,...AWESOME man... great cars, you're so lucky to have them all!! There you go...

playdoh43 02-06-2007 08:43 AM

he does sound pretty shallow, but no need to hate on the guy

llzjayarzll 02-06-2007 09:01 AM

jesus im 20 and i dont type like that at all.

boffam 02-06-2007 09:23 AM

I hate that p-trix posted a thread about his rotary-powered 944 and that I got sucked into giving a damn.

One time on the Speed Channel Automotive Forum, a guy from Seattle claimed to have a Skyline GT-R. This was several years ago. Most of us were "yeah right" and one member got pretty exercised over the whole thing. But the Skyline owner duly posted a pic of himself and his car with a sign reading "from poster X to poster Y". And we all moved on. Its just kind of a netiquette thing I guess.

9krpmrx8 02-06-2007 09:43 AM

yeah, on my old forum I had to post video of me running a 12.4 before they believed me. I don't know why I cared enough to do that but that was years ago. There are a lot of bullshitters online.

BlueRenesis82 02-06-2007 12:38 PM

and since this guy has nothing that he claims he does, we will never see photos
