*sheds a tear*

so...so...beautifull....*runs away cryin*











oh ya...ill get on Keiswetter Mazda again this year once we have a final written in stone date and time and place.

[Saphress]

(laugh) All about the love man.... all about the love!!!

As for companies to support...

I\'mma gonna try Avante, talkin with Jeff,
I\'ve also got a few, other places in mind... the typical pizza pizza, Tim Hortons (and a few garages in Pickering)... Defcon ...all old clients when I used to work at a bank. Also a detailing place that hits the spot that could probably maybe use the promo... No garauntees but definately worth a shot no?

If we get enough fundage....... idea\'s for a gift bag.... (which would be sweet if we could talk with Mazda Canada ...which if possible is worth a shot cuz they definately should be a sponsor).... thoe small Maglites!!

[S.F.W.]

Another idea for the gift bag...if we put together some of our air freshners...
also, what about some sort of key chain/

That would be sweeet!!! ;).... Of course !!! I mean, who knows.... perhaps if we talk with Avante, they have keychains already... so perhaps donation/supplied...? Who knows! :P

Or even better.... We make em..... man, I soooo wanna call up Mazda CAnada right now.... I mean, who knows? Considering it\'s Mazda CAnada... and MEET of the Mazda\'s.... Hehehehe (cross the fingers)....

Main part is... we need people!!!!!!!!!

Tha\'d be a smart thing!.... But the thing is, we\'d probably have to see if there are possible coupons that can be used at all locations....

[Ex-Rolla]

Actually i thought of that after i posted... I guess car wash coupons wouldn\'t work...

you can also look at general car cleaning products, like car wash soaps, armor all type stuff... There is a sticky thread in maintenance (i think) so you can get a general idea of what products people normally use/like. I know i wouldn\'t mind winning something like that!!!

I\'ll try and think of some other stuff.

[wtom]

Someone go talk to Meguiar\'s or maybe even Mr. Clean company (for their new all-in-one car wash system product). :)

[profusion]

I was thinking just a thought but could be more if you guys are good with the idea.

I was thinking since I come to the meets and like the atmosphare that is generated from this site, I would love to create a section on my website called the Toronto Mazda3 Community linked straight from this site. That way new members that sign up on my site if they are in the GTA they will know there is a community for them and will be redirected hear. You guys can post meets and such in a section or more. that can help the expansion of members to your community.

To me its not a big deal.. plus there is know way I would be able to compete with such a community size lol.

Now cost, no hidden agendas. Just a friendly gesture to the TM3 community and I think everyone here is great. Well some j/k =P


But im sure I would have to run this by the big head.. who would it be?? Xenon where are you dude =P

What do you guys think?

ok...so how about an opinion on the following....So here it goes....

I\'m going to start the talking to dealers now that I\'ve checked out the boards today. I have a trade in that is worth between 2 - 4k...i\'ll settle for 2.5k.

So for a M3 GT Sedan Auto/GFX/Leather and an estimated 6% discount off the MRSP of 24,440...can u tell me if this would be a good deal?

MRSP - 24,440
Less Discount - 1,466.40
Less Trade In - 2,500.00
Plus Freight/PDI - 925
Plus Gas Tax - 75
Plus Air Tax - 100
Plus Admin - 150
Plust GST/PST - 3,258.54
OTR = 24,982.14

So for all the Mazda Sales guys and everyone else on this board...is this realistic? can I get more? is this a dream? can I negotiate lower?

Can\'t wait to start haggling!!!!

[Xenon]

pokerface.... I think you are in the wrong thread.

Please post any questions on deals on your 3 in the \"Buying the Mazda3\" section.

[Electra-fire]

Hey Saphress
If any help is need please let me know.
I am always game to help.
:D

[Saphress]

Seriously and HONESTLY!!!! Whatever anyone is willing to help out.... Would be AMAAAAZING!!!! Wooohooo!!!!!


So how do you think you can help out Electra? I have never met you... YET!!! .... but perhaps at the coming meet.... hopefully


Definately need a lot of help... and just orginization period!

[Saphress]

I say we CALL A MEETING this weekend... sort everything out?!??!?! Anyone in???

[profusion]

I wouldnt mind comming to a sorta mini meet. No one has responded to my last reply above:sarc

[S.F.W.]

Sunday 1PM, where is a central location for everyone, I am at yonge and 16th.

[Saphress]

profusion... I think its a great idea!!! .... If you can get the costs of these prints.... that would be great!!!!!!

I was thinking with dealerships.... we have this thing ... GOLD list as we may say.... all dealerships that we recommend for servicing. Honestly, I do not want to deal with horrible dealerships like Morningside, nor Markham.... but places like Westowne (I believe)... Davewood Mazda, and Avante... are definate locations we can sell to...???
I guess kinda like an SPC card or something like that????


As for meetings./... Sunday 1pm... is good for me, BUT Warren can\'t make it.... He\'s helping someone move...

[S.F.W.]

if we can get the majority of ppl together, we can get started. If not we can try and find an alternate time.

[Saphress]

agreed......

[wtom]

I\'m working with methodyst (when the time comes) for my part in MOM05. If methodyst can make it to Sunday 1pm, things should be good to go.

[Saphress]

(sniff sniff) Warren doesn\'t wanna work with me... :(


Kidding!... Aight.... Sounds good.. who\'s in for Sunday 1pm?

[wtom]

I think my gf and your bf will kill me if I work you... :D

Someone take minutes or something and post it up here so we all know what\'s going on...

If there is a member who really wants to do the Advertising and Promotions please speak up! I don\'t mind to hand over the responsibility if someone is wanting to volunteer for it.

[Saphress]

Hmmm.... Well Warren... I want to help out as much as I can, as for promotions... and advertisments.... I can help out.... as to which I thought I was... but I figured sponsorships and promo\'s... kinda go in the vicinity kinda connected together... (laugh)... so I figure to mesh em together... considering a lot of dealerships may rather sponsor with merchandise???


as for hte gf/bf thing..... (laugh) true... but so what.... ain\'t nothin gonna happen....

[Ex-Rolla]

Hey guys... My father is a jeweler and i was thinking of making the TM3 logo out of silver maybe to use as a keychain... I\'ve been wanting to get into the business so this may be a good way to get my hands dirty. I have exams next week monday and Tuesday, so on Wednesday I\'ll see if it\'s even doable... i terms of cost, silver is really cheap and I don\'t plan on makeing the think freaking Huge (it\'ll be on the house)...

I have a pretty good idea of how i want it to look.

Let me know if it\'s something you guys would want. Put it in the raffle or something!

[Saphress]

A) That would be AMAAAAAAZING....

b)... are you making a mould to create this??

COOOL!!!!!

[S.F.W.]

Sounds like a pretty pimp idea...keep us posted..

Initially i plan on making a one off keychain (maybe one for myself too :) )

You never know though, if a lot of people like it it, I don\'t have a problem making the mould for it.

[Saphress]

Thanks for the acknowledgement!

Ill still need to ask the big boss =P

Whats this cost or prints thing your asking about?

[Saphress]

I can\'t remmeber... I think these costs for the prints was referenceing to someone else maybe??? sorry I keep writing notes here in between calls at work.... so maybe I messed up.

I was referring to whomever made a post for possible prints to be made at a cheap cheap price... poster size.

here, to make it easier on u

Regarding printing, I can talk to one of my printers who run epson proofs for $25 to see if they can run some large posters for us. They can do pages with a printing area of 20x28 which turns out pretty good for what we need. There also is this other guy that prints all our posters and he does it on the side kinda thing. SO he has no overhead and does it quite cheap. They turn out nice in a high gloss finishing. Not sure on his price but I can ask him.

Let me know.


now stop usin company time and get bak to work
hehhehehe

[Saphress]

(laugh) Thanks Dredd....

Yeah, that\'s what I get when I try to type msgs .... and block fraud accounts at the same time... :P
