soo it just occurred to me...

that holy **** mazdaspeeds are quick!!!

So I am driving back from Trevors (subadubaru) and near Pleasanton when some sort of wagon came flying on the on-ramp. I quickly saw that it was a mazdaspeed. Being that its the first modded one I have seen I wanted to get a closer look. Okay the exhaust sounds amazing and I can hear a little rumble in there (oh snap!), but when I got too close he thought I wanted to race so he started weaving through cars while i was cruising in the fast lane. Now we reach 580 uphill out of Dublin... so I'll say this now! I am NOT one to encourage a "street race" if you would even call this one, but I was curious. I downed into fourth and gave a couple jumps forward making it seem like lets go and holy **** that thing is quick pretty much I am speechless and wish it was awd so I can buy it hahah

/story

(i don't street race..so don't preach too me)

Mazdaspeeds are amazingly quick and stable for being FWD. I hella want one.

My sister came home with a basic Mazda 3 last night and even that handled really well and had decent power. Super fun little car.
