So far not bad but the kilt pin and sporran do help keep the front down and there is a lot of fabric in the back pleats for weight.

I think we are going to need a picture of you in your kilt! 
Drove the Cherokee to work one last time today. It's a fine vehicle but I was again reminded... these CUV's are not all the same. Doing 55 and I punched it to try and make an opening in traffic. Too slow. The Mazda would have made it. The Jeep might have made it in Sport mode, but instead of a simple on off switch like the Mazda, the Jeep has a dial with other options on it. SNOW / SAND & MUD / SPORT. Too easy to not switch into the right mode when you are at speed and really need it. BIG advantage Mazda. One is a drivers car... one is just a car.

My last name is Kelley, not sure if Irish or Scots - we go back to the late 1700's in the States before my dad got a roadblock. Today I am wearing the McDonald tartan which the Kelley's were a sept of.

Yes, you win the Internet today. Where would you like it delivered?

And amazingly, I ended up buying the same cuv I'd buy had I taken more time. I'm efficient.
You're losing credibility with ME after your little meltdown about the mods here...and then telling me "if you don't have anything nice to say..." I mean...cmon...

Far away from my work so none of the systems work that way I can kick back and relax.

So you'd like it if none of your systems worked today? I'll see what I can do...

Love it! I've had tremendous success with Ancestry.com - gone back on both sides centuries, including into some Ulster Scots from the 1600s maybe, and also to the first King of Pomerania. Cool stuff.
Good on you for strutting your heritage

Oh wow, that pic is awesome mactire!
So it was supposed to snow last night and I thought I'd get a good snow picture in, but alas, only rain in my area.
Saw a really nice soul red GT on the way to work today. I really like those GT wheels. They looked pretty awesome with the soul red.

I really like the GT wheels as well. I was leaning towards the Touring because the 17 tires are cheaper but I was going to swap the wheels for European Spec Mazda wheels in mistral anthracite especially with the pound being weak now.
But alas, the higher payment for the GT stopped that plan.

Yep, plus I didn't want the leather seats heh.
You are on here an awful lot for someone who's very 'meh' about his car but that's fine just an observation. Another one is that I completely understand after owning cars with orders of magnitude greater performance that you're pretty 'meh' about the Mazda. Assuming you don't have some other form of driving entertainment at your disposal I'm sure its not always easy to get by on just a good driving toaster so in way whether or not you wanted it like that I sympathize from an enthusiasts' standpoint. Based on that I also understand you didn't feel the need to spend countless hours (as I inevitably always do) mulling/driving/mulling every conceivable option even in a boring segment. Having said that when you grade this vehicle based on how it drives vs. its peers, it simply stands above. If you're willing to go a little more boring - the CR-V is the practical choice in segment. I'd still choose Mazda.

Neither did I but I will have to say they are growing on me. Ask me in July or August and I will probably change my mind.
