<<i thought for a moment you had bought a BMW M3 when I clicked on it...>>
I've been in the automotive industry long enough to know the difference; I'm sorry I confused you. On the other hand, given that this is a Mazda forum, I can understand why you'd think a post would be about a BMW M3 (What are you going to do when the next generation BMW 3-series Coupe becomes the 4-series, as is rumored? I guess I can use M3, then, without confusing you?)... NOTE: insert poke in the ribs here.
By the way, the P5 short-hand that you use REALLY confuses me; I keep thinking you're referring to an archaic Rover sedan from the late '60s/early '70s. I mean, I keep expecting to open a post to see some discussion on Lucas electrics and keep finding discussion on slammed Mazda sportwagons... NOTE: insert sly grin here.
Really, man... lighten up. I don't expect to have to prove that I know the difference between my car and a BMW M3; I have no illusions that my car is a BMW M3. I'm just shorthanding it just like you are with your car, assuming that it's understood that I'm talking about a Mazda compact that costs 1/3 as much as a BMW performance coupe/sedan. No need to explain that I meant the Mazda6 and not the old BMW M6/ M635, is there?
