Talking Finally "The One"

On a weekend trip to Maine my wife and I happend upon a Mazda dealler with the the car we've been looking for. We are long time Mazda drivers, me with a history of seven RX-7s and she with a Miata. We've been looking but really couldn't find one with the options/price we wanted. Well the short of it is, we picked up a sunlight silver 6spd GT with 6cd, NAV, appearance, rotary accent, tinted windows, and spare tire kit. Whoo Hoo, driving it back from Maine was a blast. :D

The quality isn't great but here's a pic.
