Had to trade in my 8...

Sorry the pic is dark, I got home late...



I simply got tired of:
a) over affectionate beautiful women
b) 70 mph through 30 mph suggested curves
c) owning a masterpiece to view and a rolling orgasm to drive

And wanted a car:
a) I can pass 4 others like it within a 2 mile drive to the store
b) with super pimp 15" tires and hubcap inserts
c) with the ability to travel 0-60 in 6 seconds (falling out of a tree)

As I was saying, sorry the pic is dark, I got home late... from Enterprise! I got a loaner, since the dealer is gonna keep my car overnight. I took it in today for the fog lights not working (no blown fuses) and it's out of alignment to the right. They had time to fix the alignment, but needed another day to fix my lights so they set me up in a rental from Enterprise... how cool is that? So, as much as I like this mean blue Cavalier in my drive , it has ta go back tomorrow... :D

Haha. Yeah, why can't I get a Mazda 3 or 6 for rental and not some peon, or shittylier?

All depends on the dealer. One dealer in my area (where I bought my car) stuck me with a Chevy Cavalier from Enterprise during my last service. Another local dealer gave me a Mazda6 free-of-charge during a service stop. (I plan to patronize the latter dealer in the future.)

When I had to get a loaner from the dealer for an extended time...that's the same kind of car they gave me. I drove it a day and went back and complained about how bad the brakes were and they swtiched it out for a Mazda 3.

No one should feel as bad as I did when I had a rental car. They shoved me in a Kia Rio. A Kia RIO! Hehe, good thing it was only for one day but...a KIA RIO?! Jeez

hehe, one day my car had to go in for service because of an odd fluid leaking into passenger footwell.. They gave me a civic.. That same day my friend brought his s2000 in for an oil change and they forgot to put the oil plug in!! so after spewing oil all over the road for about 500m had to get it towed back to honda.. and he got a mazda 3..

it was a very ironic day!! both our cars were out, I had the honda, and he had the mazda.. hheheh, made me laugh

I think I have you beat...I was given a MPV!!! If you have driven one of these, you understand why it was so horrible. The windows are HUGE on all sides. I felt like I was on display to the world.

Oh, wow. That's not funny. That car bears a striking resemblance to the beater I use to keep my 8 clean during winter, but mine came equipped with rhyming bumper stickers.

BTW, they look more like 13" rims. You don't have to lie to us. It's good to open up and share and heal.

I will definitely say yes for myself, but the hesitation in signing up has been whether or not I'll be bringing a guest. From http://www.mazdanow.com/dragon2005/index.htm , it looks to be a great time.
