Default From Mazdaspeed 3 to S2K. And loving it.

Welp, I sold my MS3 a few weeks ago. It will be missed. It was a great car, but my insurance hated it and I screwed myself on the car payment/interest when I bought it. I had that "i'm not leaving here without a car" mindset. Dealer ripped me a new one.

So after 3 years of paying way too much for a car, I finally had enough cash to get ahead on it.

It's gone now.

After 2 weeks of driving my old honda del sol and my old 1990 F250. I found a car that I'm pretty happy with. It's paid off and the insurance is very cheap (surprisingly).

Picked her up Saturday.

It's mint, other than two small dings on the whole car. Getting the paintless dent pullers to hit that up.

It feels good to be back in a reliable un-molested Honda.

It's an 02 with 71k miles, never been touched with mods.

Only complaint... There is no where to put stuff! But that's ok, just means that I can't pile junk up in it back the back seats of my previous cars.

I didn't like the blue interior at first, but it really grew on me.

And that's bugs on the front bumper from the drive from the dealer, no rock chips ha. There are a few very tiny chips on the front though.

Yeah, I'm going to start modding as soon as I sell my del sol. Going to use the cash from that and do it right!
