Ordered my Mazda3 Sport GT AC/AT in Arctic White last week from Avante - absolutely cannot wait any longer to get it. It\'s in Vancouver now I believe waiting to be loaded onto a train to make its way over to Toronto. I\'ve read the other posts around here raving about them and I couldn\'t agree more. I dealt with Thushen and he\'s awesome. Of course I met Frank and Jeff (I think they\'re the managers..) and they gave me a really sweet deal that still seems too good to be true. I feel like I should have got the leather because it looks pretty sweet but I can\'t deal with the cold in winter / hot and sticky in summer effects of leather. I also like the fog lights on the sedan and wish you could get those on the Sport (the ones with the line across the middle).

I originally went in for the blue Miata GT that was out in front of the dealership but then spent a cold, rainy day in one and never looked back - great car but for summer only. I admire people who can use them year-round. So I decided to go with the M3. That Miata is gone now - somebody bought it sometime this past weekend.

Will put pics up once I get it which should be in 2-3 weeks. In the mean time I\'m cruisin in a 92 Dodge Caravan. :)

Arctic White really is the new Titanium Grey! Practically all the 05s here are white!

Ha, I have our white Sport sitting at Scarboro waiting to be picked up! Hopefully our P5 will be sold by this week-end and we can pick up the new car next week......it\'s starting to really bug me knowing it\'s just sitting there with our name on it!

When you ask for Frank at the reception desk, they sure will ask, \"Frank... who?\" because there\'s a younger Frank who\'s one of the managers, besides Frank the boss :p

Optimzer, welcome to the club :D

Really? I saw the production schedules for my trim of M3 in Arctic White and it\'s pretty sparse. Had someone got their hands on the one in Vancouver, I would have had to wait until JULY for the next one to get produced. :S

Any suggestions on first order of business once I pick up my baby?

i) name it?
ii) take pictures?
iii) go around town?
iv) go show off to friends?

Welcome to the club Optimzer!

First thing I did ... took for a long cruise in the country side. Wanted to break it in asap so I can really rip\'er open. Then along the cruise take some pics.
