I am picking up my new Mazda3 Touring Edition tomorrow and I'm so anxious!!!

[abby]

I have the shakes and I know that I will probably only sleep for about 3 hours. Does everyone get this nervous, excited and anxious?!?! And of course there's always that little glitch of being sad to let your old car go....Oh the drama!

[JonsMazda]

Congrats! and welcome to TM3 :D Sooo, are you going to do any mods?

I am guessing that being nervous, excited, and anxious all at once is not uncommon :-)

I put down the deposit on my new Mazda3 yesterday... I think I am mostly still in the "oh my ***** what have I done?!?" phase ...

Congrats on the new purchase... and *enjoy* !

[MAZDA Kitten]

Congrats on the new ride!

Imagine the people have to wait WEEKS and even MONTHS for their new car

[Caz]

I waited a month for the ultra rare snowflake pearl white and the wait killed me. But the second I was driving the car home from the dealership I forgot about the wait.

Don't worry the smile on your face when you are driving it will make you forget about the old car.

I was in the same boat with Caz. Waited for 4 weeks. The wait was torture! Welcome to the board.

Wait until you get your first stone chip. The same feeling will occur only opposite. :chuckle

i waited for 3 weeks while the car was sitting at the dealership.

i was really nervous and scared, and for a day or two after i felt scared and nervous still.

Getting a car is like marriage. Because it takes a lot out of you financially lol.
So sometimes now I think of it as a burden but the vehicle itself can bring you some sense of joy, just take good care of it.

welcome abby
abby so how do you like the car??

Ah...I remember when I bought my first new car. Exciting times!

Buying a new car is one of the biggest events in your life. It's ok to be nervous/excited! And buying your own first new car? It's like another ritual of passage into adulthood.

I should play poker. No matter how much I am jumping up and down on the inside, on the outside all you'll get is a little grin.

maybe you have food posioning? :chuckle

congrats man, try not to puke with excitement in the car when you get it.

One more piece of advice: in your excitement over the new car, don't forget to check your mirrors!!!

hello! so i picked up the car last night and it so incredibly awesome!%#!@ i hate to use the word 'awesome' but there is no other word to describe it.

there a couple of paint chips on the passenger door which will be getting fixed as per my liking. they are going to order in a new batch of paint and try it to fix them with a pen first. if i don't like it, it will be sent to the body shop. not cool, but there was no way i wasn't taking the car home last night.

i don't plan on doing any mods to it. i'm so happy with it that i don't think it needs a thing.

can't wait to take it on it's first road trip. hopefully within the next month.

i swear this is the most exciting thing. best car ever! i must have looked like i was on crack driving it to work this morning. all smiles all the way :)

[Wild Weasel]

Congrats!! Definitely a great feeling! Is it new or used? Love that fresh plastic smell of a new car!! :bana

[Dancestar]

I only waited a week for mine, I slept the night before....but the night I actually said "Ill take it" I didnt sleep at all....the feeling is awesome though....doesnt happen very often so enjoy it!
