    Where Can I Get a Good Horn?

    Stop sniggering... Seriously, I love my speed, but the horn is pathetic. Anyone know the best place to get a replacement that doesn't sound like a cat farting?

    Where do you enjoy your 3?

    I just bought my Mazdaspeed 3 - a good deal on a new 08 GT in black mica. I love driving it - I can't stop. So I was wondering, where do you take your 3 for fun? I've been hitting some of the fun winding roads in and around Portland, and I'm dying for track days at Portland International...
