Of all the cars I have previously owned, this one is by far my favorite!  I had previously been on the hunt for a tuner car, spurred on by my memories of playing Gran Turismo and my love of Initial D. At the time I had a Pontiac G6 GTP, which was an ok car, but it didn't do it for me. I stumbled across this Mazdaspeed 3 as I was checking the local dealer. It was on the back lot as they must have just acquired it. I waited for the day they put it on the lot, it only had 50K mi on it, but it was slightly out of my price range. I kept my eye on it for two weeks, and that's when it happened. The dealer dropped the price as an internet deal and it was firmly within my budget! It was a Friday afternoon, and by Monday morning it was mine!  I previously promised myself that I would just enjoy the car and not mod it. That didn't last long...  You can check out my mods list here or go to my website or YouTube page and actually watch them being installed!   If anyone were to ask me if they should buy a Mazdaspeed 3, the answer is always YES! or Miata. Depends on the day...
