Northwest Florida MS3 sightings

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Yesterday I saw 2 cosmic blues out in niceville florida. One had tinted windows and the other one didn't. A metro grey on 98 in fort walton beach. Then a black in fort walton beach.

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Since I've had my MS3 I've seen atleast 8 different MS3. Haven't seen a white one yet though

[MikeHTally]

Come on over to Tallahassee. When I bought mine, it was one of two. By now the second one's been sold, so two chances to see the fastest color. (lol2)

[skylar2ups]

I live in Niceville I have seen a couple there are a few speeds that go to Northwest Florida State College aka OWC... I've seen the blue ones and there is a silver one too!

[Hank3]

I saw a silver one on Monday in Tally and we exchanged waves :)

[skylar2ups]

I envy all of you.

There is also a silver one from Texas that is always on Eglin and some poor guy that was going to Europe for 5 years was selling his black 08.5 for 17k my brother in law picked it up. Love going over to their house I have a 3 my younger sister has a 5 my older sister has a CX7 and my brother in law has a S3.

The parents drive Hondas... BORING!

[Bonafide_Spd3]

I saw one today I haven't seen before, a black speed3 with a billet gas cap. It was at whataburger in fort walton beach. Crazyness, I see speed3s all day while I'm at work.

[skylar2ups]

I think thats my brother in laws! If it had really dark windows it def was but there are a lot of military guys that have the Speed.

[Bonafide_Spd3]

That is true though, alot of people that are military do have import cars. When I first got my speed3 last year I barely saw any. Now I see them every day. Sucks because I wanna see what other people are doing to their cars, and see how they sound. Video quality doesn't really cut it for hearing what things sound like. You don't have anything done to your 3 skylar? i touring is the 3 with the 2.0 right?

[skylar2ups]

Yes mine is the 2.0 I bought it for the gas I had a turbo PT Cruiser before my 3 and a Rodeo before that but I didn't want a boring car so I got my Mazda and I'm so happy but no I'm bare other then tinted windows and no more door moldings... I bought the 2.0 for insurance too as I pay for my own and well being a teenage guy SUCKS. I want a speed3 so I think I'm going to save my money so I can get one sooner or maybe (fingers crossed) they might come out with a new speed6.

[Bonafide_Spd3]

True, I was gonna get the 2.0 hatchback but... I saw the speed3 on the showroom floor and took it for a test drive. The 2.0s have alot of get up though, I test drove one as well and spun the tires in first and second

[skylar2ups]

I didn't know they had the hatch in the 2.0 I'm kind of angry now... yeah my little girl has some pep but my PT was super fast and I have the tickets to prove it. But she took super gas and got about 19mpg so I was other that really fast. Now most of my family drives Mazdas.

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Cosmic Blue MS3 spotted in Shalimar, and also a black mazda3 with body kit and dual exhaust

[AAMguy]

you could post this in the florida region section...just a thought

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Don't feel like having another forum

[Hank3]

Saw MikeHTally leaving the Kmart parking lot this past Sunday. Waved but didn't know if you saw me or not.

[MikeHTally]

I wondered if that was you. My wife said, "That guy in the car like yours just waved." I was trying to use telekinesis to get the light to change and missed ya. I almost went back into the parking lot to see, but we were squeezed for time.

Man, you almost need a kidney belt to drive in that parking lot.

[Hank3]

I figured you were either really zoned or chattin' with your wife. I had spotted you from a ways away and told my wife that I was gonna roll up and give you a wave since we'd been chattin on here. Oh well....next time :)

[MikeHTally]

I figured you were either really zoned ...
That's entirely possible, too (lol) We're getting my Mom set up to move to a "retirement apartment" and it's taking a lot of cajoling and "do-it-ourselves" time.

[Bonafide_Spd3]

White MS3 with black rims driving by hurlburt field, drove past me in my dump truck

[skylar2ups]

^^^There are a ton of SPEEDS around there, I go to Pensacola at least twice a week and I drive down 98 and I must pass 4 or 5.

I always see a pretty blue one with really dark tint, and a red one w/a sticker on the back window.

[Bonafide_Spd3]

I saw another ms3, i was in my wife's explorer though. It was a cosmic blue with the 3 gauge panel on the dash sitting at the super walmart in navarre. What color do you drive skylar? I drive on 98 all the time and I have really dark tint. I always see alot of cosmic blues on 98, and a red one with no tint

[squidmotion]

i grew up in pensacola... had a great aunt that lived in niceville...


they sure named that town right!!! getting a bit overgrown around there, however....

[skylar2ups]

I don't have a SPEED... just a Galaxy Gray Mica Sedan.

I hate when people ask if Niceville is nice. Then if I say I'm from Destin everyone tells me they vacation there and it's so 'nice and pretty' yeah yeah I know I live there.

The blue one your talking about I think thats the same one I see a lot. The military guys around here love the SPEED3's and 6's.

Swfla > Nwfla

[skylar2ups]

Thats debatable....

[miguelucho1]

I live in Tallahassee and have an '08 Silver MS3 GT with tinted windows and RX-8 Wheels. Occasionally I see a red MS3 around Mahan drive and Capital Circle and Buck Lake Rd. area.
It would be nice to get a few of us together for some "car talk" one of these days.
I hope all of you have a safe and prosperous 2009!

Miguelucho1 (Mike)

[Bonafide_Spd3]

That's true, That would be pretty cool to get together with some ms3 owners around here. Seems like all the drivers around here aren't in this forum

[Hank3]

Revive :)

I keep seeing the red MS3 of the guy who works at People's Bank on Capital Circle NE in Tallahassee. Must be that I work right down the road from him. Also saw a silver MS3 w/RX-8 rims two weeks ago in the FedEx Kinko's parking lot.

BTW - should this get moved into the Florida forums?

[skylar2ups]

I moved to Orlando and have only seen two speed's... lots of hatchs and sedans though... LOTS!

[jcspeed3]

There is going to be a meet in Tallahassee sunday, sept. 27th. There is post in the meets section already about it....By the way the fastest color in Tallahassee is Black Mica...

[Bonafide_Spd3]

I'm over at the ****************.org and they have a florida thread. I've already met three people in the area. I'll be movin over to that thread after I get my fmic
