New to the Forum, but not really

[CTA Chris]

Hello All

I'm new on the boards, but CTA isn't new to the boards. I can't let CTA Patrique have all the fun. I just picked up a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 to add to the fleet.

Here are some pics of the new ride.

At 0% financing for 84 months and this car was invoiced at $500.00 over cost, I couldn't turn down the offer. :chuckle

Hi Vincent, if you owned a silver SVT, then yes, I remember you. Good to hear from you.

Here are a some phone camera pics that the salesman took for me. When I pick up the car tomorrow, I'll take some better pictures with my digital camera.

yeah your right! my bad...

Thanks all, and to reconfirm, the 2010 Speed3s do not come with the valance painted. I can't see why they wouldn't paint it, being that the MPS in Europe has the valance painted. Don't these cars come out of the same manufacturing plant?

Just for comparison sake, here is before and after pic (not the best quality, sorry)

Love the colour, though I would be a tad bias in that regard :P
