I live outside of Louisville, and I have to drive to Kings in Cinci to get high-quality service.

[HeroinBob]

Thanks... I dont have any pics right now but my car is black speed3 with tinted windows thats it for now.

yeah i go to the kings dealer too. The one in tri county sucks D, they told me that i couldnt test drive a speed3, i had to buy it and i was like well im not buying a car that i havent test driven to which they said no one will let you test drive them because there are only so many made. I left that place went to kings told the guy i was interested in a speed3 and the first thing he said was ill get the keys and you can go drive it needless to say i bought the car that night ha ha

Yeah, the Louisville Mazda dealer that I visited basically said, "So you want a Mazdaspeed 3? Well, sign a buyers order, put down a deposit, and we'll let you test drive one. Oh yeah, we don't do dealer trades, so you'll have to wait until we get one in the color you want. And when we DO get it we'll stick a $3,000 ADM sticker on the side window." In contrast, Kings did all the right things; the salesperson followed up on my internet request, encouraged me to take a test drive, found the MS3 I wanted, and had it flat-bedded in at no charge. It also didn't hurt that the guy was also a SCCA racer and currently owns several Triumph bikes. (cool)

Welcome and enjoy your speed3

[MS3Steve]

Hello and welcome, I also live in Cincinnati, about a mile away from Kings Mazda. I moved here last year, there was an all Mazda meet with an Ohio Mazda club here last spring, I'll keep you updated if and when there's another.

[c0de]

Greetings MS3Steve and HeroinBob,
I got my mazda3 from tri county, i didn't go for the speed since i was leasing.
once my lease is over i think i'm gonna move to kings mazda for my maintenance as you guys recommended. Planning on some light modding by then.
Good to know there are cincinnatians here, i moved here last year.

I always see a black ms3 downtown near the hospital where I work. Does one of you two visit The Party Source often or drive around near there? I've also seen a non-tinted black ms3 in the Beechmont/Anderson area.

[GoFast]

Welcome to the forums Bob. Black with tints is the best option i think!

Care to share the meaning behind the scree name?? (wow)

[c0de]

up in GE Evendale there are a couple of light silver MS3s a dark Gray MS3 and a red MS3.
Personally I've seen a white MS3 with black tints in sharonville, and i think that is the best look.

I've also seen a non-tinted black ms3 in the Beechmont/Anderson area.-That's not me, but I also drive a black one with tint, I live in Loveland and work in Mason, so most of the time I'm north of the city.

Wow some Speed3's are coming out of the woodwork here in Cincinnati! It's funny I see pictures of meets in Florida, California, as well as other places, buts cool to find out there's more of us around here than I knew.

[HeroinBob]

Yeah please keep me updated on the meets and things steve... my friend owns an RX-7 and he went to the meet he said there is one at devou park in covington on the 29th i think we are going to it

c0de - yeah tricounty one sucks my balls

mSelo - I go to the source a decent amount not like everyday or anything so it might be me im usually more in the tricounty glendale sharonville area because thats where i work but i get my booze from the source

GoFast - Heroin Bob is a character from a movie called SLC Punk (see it if you havent) In the movie Bob is afraid of needles, listens to punk music, drinks beer and only smoke pot or cigs. I am almost exactly like him in real life so my friends dubbed me Heroin Bob ha ha

[ForceFed]

MS3's FTL.

I'd be driving a 540i 6-speed instead of the MS3 if somebody at Jake Sweeney BMW had decided to wait on me. One Saturday I pulled up at Sweeney's in my wife's X3. I was prepared to buy a CPO 540i I had seen on line- I even had a check in my pocket. My wife, son, and I walked around the lot and through the CPO showroom but I received no offers of assistance- not counting the lot jockey who asked me if I wanted the keys to a car I WASN'T looking at. I guess jeans, a BMW club golf shirt, and a BMW F1 jacket didn't meet Jake's dress code. After about fifteen minutes of this I decided enough was enough; as we were leaving we walked by a sales guy who had been ignoring us while he chatted on his cell phone. As we passed him he heard me tell my wife that we were moving on to the BMW Store. So NOW he asks, "You mean you folks haven't been helped?" "Just forget it." I replied. His response? "Have a nice day. We're busy too, you know." Nice try, but I'd just walked through the CPO showroom and there was maybe one customer in the whole place. What a joke.

Seriously, too damned many in this area, LOL...

Oh yeah, welcome! Perhaps with this many MS3s you guys would want to set up a meet? Don't be like every other MS3 owner on the forums and think your car is God's gift to automobiles.

[Breezy]

Hey fellow Cincinnati MS3ers.

Just wanted to check back in, a meet would be cool to set up, especially now that spring is here. Bob you mentioned a meet the 29th, is that this upcoming Sunday? If so, can you provide us with some information like the time and location, maybe that would work for some of us to meet up, is anyone welcome at this event?

He also said they usually meet up hang out and then go on a cruise over to this Go cart place in Aurora Indiana.

We are not nearly as elitist as the rotary guys. I like to think of my car as the next gen P5. I always liked the P5's but like the Probe GT I had before, it was low on power.

Thanks for the info Bob, it sounds like a cool meet, I'll plan on going down for it.

un-be-lie-va-ble. you'd think that w/ the economy in ruins, salesmen would be all over you trying to make a sale. the same thing happened to a buddy of mine when he was looking at Audis, but that was yrs ago when the market was fluorishing.

on another note: welcome Bob! Too bad yer name isn't John or we could have asked you what the dealle-o was w/ that HBO show. (uhm)

That's probably me. (peep) I live in Mason but am around that area a decent amount.
