My little MS3 handled the snow and ice like a champ. FWD helped pull me thru lots of crappy road conditions in Cherokee and Cobb. Now I just need to wash the road salt off. Anyone have any troubles? Hopefully everyone got to stay home for the worst of it, but I worked Wed and Thurs, but...

I would trade in my MS3 for a spicey orange MS2 so fast my wife wouldn't even have a chance to tell me no. I love my MS3, but you can't miss something till its gone.

LeBron want to be a billionaire and he can't do that in Cleveland, its to small a market. He has wanted to bring his hometown a championship all by himself and it just won't happen. No one is that good. In NY he can still try to win it all by himself AND expand his brand or he can go the...

Awesome. I see drinking game potential as well, like beer pong. It might help numb the pain. However I don't think there will be a long linage of IBGA champions as your reproductive abilities lessen before our eyes.

good luck with the build and congrats on becoming a US citizen, props for doing it the right way too

I think you found your soulmate in insurance rep form. The uninsured zombie was classic. This is a shining example of why I still love this country, for every smartass is another just waiting to play along.

I got the duralast pads from autozone, they don't fit. The clip on the inner pad is missing making the spring impossible to reinstall. I am struggling financially so just need a inexpensive pad, plus I need to go to work tomorrow evening so I can't wait for shipping. Basically does anyone...

http://www.caranddriver.com/features/09q2/return_of_the_boss_wagon_mazdaspeed_5-project_car Read this article on the engine swap into a Mazda5, which is even closer in structure to the Mazdaspeed3 than a P5. I understand you want for the MS3 power with the P5 styling, but I think it would be an...

i had the megan springs on my old P5 and loved them. Nice even drop, a little bump up in handling, and not too harsh a ride. I would imagine the Teins might be a better handling spring, but for the street you won't notice any difference, both will do great. If you are doing the install...

Its been over a month now after the dealer switched me to synthetic and smoke has been appearing here and there the entire time. Recently it has been very prominent and occurs EVERY time i idle for more than 30 seconds, even at stop lights. My car wreaks of burning oil and I am taking it back...
