got together with some other guys and drove the Colonial Parkway today. it was only me and a Protege. it was a pretty nice drive with some nice scenery. we might try and do it again with some more mazdas. hopefully i'll be able to get more pics from the other guy that went. he got some rolling shots of me too. well here's the 2 pics i got before my camera battery died.

 

sweet wheels

 

thanks. before anyone sais i need to lower it, i got springs coming on Wednesday. thanks Lazi.

 

ah ye ol yorktown bridge..

will be up there for xmas..

beers

 

you bringing the 8? may be grounds for a meetup.

 

ok here's some of the others. i can't take credit for these pics. thanks to Ryan for taking and editing these pics.

 

Lovely scenery.
Chrome door handles ,,hmmm.

 

You better get that plate changed....and soon!

 

i don't mind the handles. they were on it when i got it and i kinda like them. that might change though when i decide to do more things to it.

 

fixed, for now

 

Awwwwww...ya didn't have to take the pic away. I only said that cause my daughter moved to Arlington and it was a pain in the *** apparently....and of course you know about the two plates. That sucks that some states have that two plate law. Of course........I'm assuming you're really in Va. now.

 

i'm still a legal resident in FL since my parents still live there. i'm only in VA on orders. as soon as my enlistment is up i'm moving back to FL. Melbourne/Palm Bay area hopefully to work for Harris.

 

Oh yeah.......I remember. We had a discussion about Harris, Intersil, DRS, and other companies around the area.
Anyway.......you're ggod to go while deployed(I think). My daughter kept her FL plates/residency while in school in Nashville and then in New Brunswick. Once graduated of course and moved to VA for work, she had to finally get it done.
I was just up there about two weeks ago, nice to see the trees turn colors.

Car is looking good........BTW.

 

thanks. yeah the scenery was beautiful.

 

well here's another rolling shot with the plate blurred out.

 

Looks like you guys had some good weather for the drive. Nice pics. Maybe next time I'll be able to go.

 

about 80% yes. i have a problem i am working on right now...

nws, or ft eustis? meet up definitely..

beers

 

shoulda called me up... I would have went with yall.

 

ur rims are stunning

 

nice wheels, what color are they?

my winning blue had chrome handles on too when i got mine for some reason, but they look so better without

 

thanks for the comments on the wheels everyone. they are Axis Matrix wheels. the color is hyperblack with a polished lip. i'm very impressed with the way they look on the WB.

my plans are to add some carbon fiber to my car as soon as i can afford to. after i put it on, i'll decide if i want to take the chrome off or not. if i do, it will either get de-badged or painted badges as well. i also have to deal with a chrome gas filler door.

 

any of you all tryin to go for a ride this weekend?? im from there but am stationed in dc but ill b heading home this afternoon.

 

strong bump lol
