I suppose I should make an intro...

Hi. I'm Mike. A few of you know me. A few of you met me today at the cruise.

I belong to MNSC but haven't been there for a while (been a member since 05). I am also on a couple Cobalt sites. I think I even have a profile on MNSubaru, but don't remember the login.

I don't have a Mazda, I definitely wouldn't mind having one if I had the money to buy something else right now. Personally I want to go test drive an RX8 just to see how it handles...I like the design of them, not sure what the general opinion is of them (besides the fact you can't make power).

I know Picklz because we went to school together way back when. I also know Hayden pretty well along with Dan and AJ.

Matt, Dan...CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

As you can see I drive an 07 Cobalt LS auto...it has a little bit of work done, hopefully a lot more work will be done in the upcoming year or two. I have had it since 07. In my sig is the majority of stuff I've done to it.

I have a Pioneer AVH-P3300BT, Boston Acoustics front and rear, and an MTX X Thunderlink sub (will be replacing with a 10" sub in a custom box and a real amp...added this to the factory system then the bug bit and I upgraded the entire system). Also adding a 4-channel for the speakers.

As for performance...I have to re-do my suspension...my struts and shocks are off of the SS/TC and I have Pedders for springs. The struts and shocks are worn out all ready though. So much better handling than the Eibach Sportlines I used to have.

I have an upgraded front sway bar to install along with a new header and DP. I am going to focus on fixing the suspension first though. I know I have a bad wheel bearing or two as well. A lot of work will go into the suspension before the end of summer. Final addition will be some 16" wheels with 225/50's not sure what tires I want yet though. For winter I rock some 15" Sparco wheels and summer are steelies, how messed up is that? lol

Anyway, enough rambling. Nice to meet most of you and I look forward to being a participant here.
 
Thanks. Well if it counts, I have a 96 Grand Am GT and a mid-60's Dune Buggy as well...lmao. So yeah, we can make it the majority.
 
Quit cluttering my fucking thread! LMAO

No, I just want my 25 posts...so I'll post some more.

I'm debating on Mazda ownership....a lot of people have them, there must be a reason for it....hmmm.

Oh and I was looking at Miata's again...thinking and dreaming because holy shit the newer ones hold value.

Then I saw a beautiful older Porsche while driving on 61 yesterday and I got to thinking...fuck the Mazda, I want that! I was too far to tell what model, but it had to have been a 928 or 944...I did see full roll cage and lowered so I'm guessing he had A LOT of suspension/handling work done. Wonder if he had any go fast stuff though...
 
I don't like NA's at all so that was never an option if I were to consider one. AJ's NB is nice...I would consider one of those, but I would definitely love an NC1/NC2 if possible.
