I said "it didnt cost anything extra" ..... to do it now.In looking at your pics again, it did 'cost' something.
and yeah, it cost me $7 5+ years ago for a roll of it

Our wood stove is coal capable, but I've never used it. I'd like too but I don't even know where I'd get it in my area. I doubt my neighbors would appreciate it though, but they don't pay my bills.
Back to the subject at hand.
Changed the oil in the CX. Love my homemade ramps!

Pics of the ramps please.

Made from leftover deck lumber. (last years pic, no snow here yet thank goodness!)

And that piece of 2X10 lumber making the homemade ramps isn’t cheap anymore nowadays. It’d cost more than the Rhino ramps I bought several years ago!Made from leftover deck lumber. (last years pic, no snow here yet thank goodness!)

nope, I don't really know s*** about it I guess. I just think they're tacky, and cheaply made. But hey, that's just like, my opinion, man.
Well, it's more overkill, but I found some titanium torx license plate screws for the front.
While a would-be thief could potentially remove the plates with a flat head, I'm betting that they'll bring a large one and move on.
I plan to replace the stock battery with an AGM to prevent the probability of an acid leak.
Though I'm trying to talk myself out of buying a new set of Michelin Crossclimate 2s to replace the Yokohama Geolander G91s on a car with only 1100+ miles.
Decisions decisions...

You are assuming soft coal that belches black smoke like the locomotives in the old cowboy movies? Even if it was available I wouldn't bother with it. I have a local shop that sells hard coal (anthracite) that does not smoke at all and no noticeable odor when I'm outside. When I look at the chimney I don't see anything coming out of it, not even heat waves. Heating with hard coal is way superior to wood, but only if it is available locally.
Back to Mazdas: I picked mine up last Halloween, so it is due for NYS inspection next month, so I have an appointment to take it to my local mechanic next Monday (2nd) for inspection, wheel rotation, and first oil/filter change. It has about 6,200 miles on it.

You don't know s*** about these and have never seen them in person, right? But your opinion is that they are tacky and cheaply made?
Yeah, that makes sense. These things are almost invisible after they're installed. You'd have to look closely for them to even see that they're on the doors.

My only experience with burning coal comes from my time in the Army. I was an armor crewman on a tank and while downrange for two weeks, in Colorado in December, we used coal to heat our 40-man tents. Two potbellied stoves filled with coal and red hot kept the tents warm enough. The coal was stinky and that's all I know. Till one of the idiot privates decided to use gasoline to restart a stove that was still burning. He opened the stove and added a bit of gas, the flame followed the steam up to the can and it burst into flames. The private tossed the can away from himself, flinging flaming gas all over, and stated the tent on fire. The tent, along with all our TA-50 burned up! It wasn't too bad for us, we all got new gear. Not so good for the private!

Reunited with it after 3 months of traveling. Had to be boosted obviously but after driving for an hour it was as if I never left it
Got its oil changed at 24000 kilometers on Monday and then drove between Montreal and Toronto a bunch of times since then as I’m moving to Toronto. Picked up a good 2600 kilometers in a week and I’ll be doing the same trip again today.

Driving between Montreal and Toronto? We drove a rental Chevy Impala from Detroit / Toronto to Montreal visiting a friend many years ago. Not only just better highway road conditions we’re impressed, but also using the metric system with km on the highway sigh and liter at the gas pump we needed to adjust.Reunited with it after 3 months of traveling.

I just got my 16' CX5 GT two weeks ago and wasn't really impressed with the cup holder placement/lack of extra cup holders. Anyway, got busy designing/installing an additional cup holder... very happy with the end product!

hope it holds up for you. I've tried PETG 3D printed parts in cars, and they don't hold up to the heat on summer days. Always ends up warping.

This is SOOO funny! The CX-50 has the cupholders right where you added yours and no end of people on the CX-50 forum are bitchin' and moanin' about the placement and wishing they were like the CX-5's!
Personally, nether bothers me, but it so funny to see the differences in folks.

Yeah haha, had to drive a couple of times back and forth. Overall it's one of the better highways to drive on both in terms of the road quality and the average speed people seem to be doing.
