Rack is sold.

It's tentatively sold, just waiting for the cash. If that doesn't pan out in a reasonable time I'll ping you if that's ok. -Scott

You sniped my forsale ad? Classy.

Yes, they are still here.

These things were quiet enough that we never knew they were there, and they held a Yakima Skybox18 full of ski/snowboard gear with no issues. Included all original mounting bits and the keys. Removed from the 5 in September when the car went away. The marks on the top are from the original...

It's like there's no fuel or spark. It's currently sitting in a parking lot, I was able to push it off the street and call a friend for a ride home. I was stopped at a light, and while sitting there it started running very rough, CEL came on and I wasn't able to keep it running. It restarted...

With just over 50K on our '07 Touring 5sp I replaced the struts/shocks with KYB Excel-G's. No more bouncy-bouncy.

According to my GPS, my speedo reads 3 mph too fast. Speedo says 65, the real speed is 62.

Do any dealerships/shops offer Mazda club discounts?

65mph on C470 for about 14 miles, 55 on Morrison Rd for about 3, surface street speed, including a school zone, for 5 miles.

Proof that it isn't a fluke. Another tank of 36.5 mpg driving! Tire pressure is 36lbs, I'll have to verify. It takes a fair bit of concentration to drive for best economy, you have to watch traffic flow, stoplight behavior...you know, all of the stuff you should be watching anyway.

2 tanks in a row, with great results. I got 36 mpg in Denver freeway commuting. I rarely go above 65, part of the commute is a 55mph speed limit. I have to concentrate on throttle control, here's what I do: 1. only move the throttle plate if I need to. constant throttle position is key 2. speed...

The man, are you 14 years old? Flexing your internet muscles does nothing to impress me. If anything, it makes me willing to automatically disregard anything you post in the future. If you have nothing constructive to add, do everyone a favor and don't post. I merely want to find out what...

Checked the oil, and it's a good thing I did. The oil level is right on the ADD mark on the dipstick. After only 2500 miles I'm a little suprised, but I suppose it's ok for a new engine to use a little oil. Maybe it wasn't fully filled from the dealer to start with. My question: what oil does...

1500 miles on the clock, '07 touring 5sp Last tank went 375miles on 12.5 gallons. This was 100% commuting to work via freeways, no A/C, mix of stop and go plus 65mph if traffic managed to flow. Gas was Shell 85.
