What do you use YOUR CX-7 for?

[Mazdaspeedgirl]

So we know the usual things that we use our cars for, but what hobby or trade of yours do you use your CX-7 for?

I have dubbed mine the Autocross Support Vehicle, since she now takes the place of the Tribute in hauling coolers, baby, and other various race-day items that will not fit well in a miata. :)

Well, I have a company car so really, the only time the CX-7 ever gets driven is when my wife drives to and from work. That's it. Evenings and weekends we roll in the Jeep since we don't pay for it, it's insurance or its gas :)

[Int3grity]

Hauling Groceries,Laundry LOL Nah I use it for work field support services

[koala]

I stroll the streets picking up ladies of the evening.

Actually no, my girlfriend wouldn't appreciate such a use.

It's my only vehicle now (moved into a highrise condo with only 1 parking stall, so my S2000 had to go :( ) - so it gets used for whatever the hell I need to use it for.

Nothing simply gets me from point A to point B....and back.

Hauling my jewelry around....I design,make and sell my own jewelry so it's my on the road portable jewelry shop!! Also, love to just cruise in her with all the windows open! The hubby prefers driving my car over his newer Mariner....he does not like to admit it though!!

To/from work for the wife and then just cruising around.

Wife uses it to commute back and forth to work, on the weekends we use it for trips to Home Depot/Lowes or for hauling our motorcycles to races and trackdays. :D

Ours will be our interstate-traveler, and "need room for two more" vehicle of choice. Our household has a WS6 Trans-Am, and a '96 Miata M; nothing either capable or that great at ferrying four adults somewhere.

The CX-7 will also replace the Miata as our tow vehicle. It was surely picturesque to see a Miata hitched to your typical Uhaul 4x8 covered trailer, definitely got a hoot from the Home Depot guys loading it with mulch, patio furniture, or whatever.

The Miata got chosen to tow? Yes indeed...Stacy said NFW her TransAm was getting hitched, too utilitarian. :-)

Bringing wife to and from work (hi)

[Foolish]

I have hot, sticky, sweaty sex in mine........Wait, I don't have a CX-7......I wonder who's CX--7 that is?
;)

It was a tester I had from the dealership. Btw, remind me to give you back your underwarez. (wink)

cool! My sister does that (making the jewelry). much better than the stuff you find at the department stores. :)

[Grantman]

im just a kid so i pile all my friends in it or go out late and race around i couldnt be happier with the way it handles

[Mazda Lover]

I put my mountain bike in the back (with wheel attached) to head to the local trails or races.

My SO will use it haul cabinetry around, as she designs and supplies cabinetry for local builders.

Unfortunately, it is not capable enough to tow what I need to. I will probably look for a cheap pick-up or something soon.

Yea...way better and my pieces are one of a kind. My sister is a clay artist and many of my pendants I use are her little creations...really cool. Check my website out... www.sunsilverdesignsbywendy.com
I also donate a percentage to the local school Autism/Special needs programs with every piece sold. Nice to have a sister making jewelry too..huh!

[cricket1977]

doggie hauler...haul my two golden retreivers around town to the dog park until our house is built. Otherwise it's my back country road beast, pretty much the only places in cincinnati area that I can enjoy the turbo to it's fullest are the outer subburbs.

EWWWW!!!!

For work I use it to haul my video production equipment (camera, tripod, light kit, etc.).

On the weekends, it hauls my wife, our dog and - eventually - our bikes. Not necessarily in that order. The bikes will have to wait for a hitch mount to be installed. I've only had my CX-7 about 3 weeks... ;)

You actually don't need a hitch or roof mount for haul the bikes. You can use the same cheap (i.e. $30-40) trunk mounted ones that you can use on a sedan, you just need to readjust the straps to fit over the liftgate. Sorry if you knew this already, but I can't tell you how thrilled I was when I found out that I didn't need to shell out hundreds of dollars for the hitch installation / hitch bike rack and could just keep using the same old 'Hollywood Rack' that I had been using on my Civic. I loves me some biking!

[ShawnAU]

Carry the shopping.

I went from an Audi A4 with 2 15" subs installed to this and I have more boot space then I know what to do with. I helped with a computer swap meet on the weekend and got 10 computer cases in the back :) Was kinda exciting :P

Hey, thanks for the reply. I actually did know that but I already have the hitch-mounted rack and prefer to load my bikes that way. So, guess I'll just be out a few hundred - but it'll be worth it the end. ;) And - like you - I loves me some biking too!

[Mrs. CaSHMeRe]

Don't have one yet, but when I do....it will be a mommy mobile!
