Time Goes By...
In 1980 I ride my bicycle to the Mazda dealer on Long Island and pickup my first new car. Get married in 1983 and eventually sell the car when my son is born. The blue 7 was my dream car. Fast forward to 2006. The kids in college now and whats a man to do?? Well get another 7 of course.

Here is an old picture with the girl friend (IE: future wife). And a picture yesterday of the new baby in the same exact spot (wife sitting in car with window closed).

To all: enjoy these cars because you may not get a second chance. For me there is no other car I feel the same about (probably because of my history with it) and never will. A third gen has 100 great things about it and this time it will never be sold....

Same spot 22 or so years apart. Trees grew, grass died and the 7 turned from blue to red.
