First trip out with the vert since January

Washed and cleaned up the car and took it to a local cruise night event, mostly domestic cars but the vert got its share of looks and respect.

Felt nice to get out and drive it, and best of all- make it home on its own power!


Lighting at the event sucks so I did not bother with any shots while there, here are my before, and after I made it back in one piece, lol

Man your paint is perfect. Garage kept and hardly driven even in the summer I assume? I mean in the front end pic, I don't even see a single imperfection.

Up until 7 years or so I daily drove that car.

parts of that paintjob are 10 years old, and until 5 years ago that car sat outside everyday, in the rain, sun, snow, etc. I just moved it to a tent shelter at work, before that the garage it sat in has a dirt floor! Was a terrible enviroment for the car.


I try to drive it every few days, even if its a short drive, but I like my car looking a certain way and dont even like to take it out for a ride unless its washed and ready to go.

I have new seats and a black carpet I need to put in, also have s5 black door panels and rear compartment cover, but im not sure if they are going in or not.

Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate them.

I should mention for those who may not know the reason this is the first time I took the car out all year is because I was updating alot of the car.

It's just loverly, Rob.
Really sweet, through and through.

Two questions....
-What is the finish on your center console surround...it looks so shiny?

-What's going on with the transfer vent at the end of the dash (the one that feeds the door)?
There are five things in there and that doesn't look like any vent I've seen (not that I'm an expert on esoteric Mazda trim pieces).

Garrett T04B turbo

Console is factory plastics sanded smooth, epoxy primed, sanded, and painted with the same paint as the exterior. The things in the vents are clip on air freshner things that have been there so long superstition tells me to leave them there, lol
