    Smile Anyone Elses Mazda 3 a Complete TANK?

    anyone elses Mazda 3 a complete tank? I have a Gen 1 Sedan that I have had for about 4 ish years now i think?
    in addition to drag racing mine each year..she has been in a few accidents, and ploughed into snow banks.. and last night i got into a collision
    and the car looks bad but it runs completely fine !! lol. Although I am going to be scrapping my 3 soon due to it just being past fixing(body work..paint..suspension..etc)
    I am going to miss how durable this car was ! it has definitely saved my life a couple times !

    2005 mazda 3 GX sedan upgrades: - tinted windows & side markers - open mouth grill - window visors - strut bar - evil m & blacked out badges - short shifter - side skirts - rear flares (not installed yet) - wink mirror - LED smoked tails/3rd brake light - eonon D5102 gps/DVD player - chalkboard painted hood & trunk

    My old Gen 1 Mazda 3 was also totaled. The drive was shaken but was completely fine. I never had issues aside from the radio display needing replacement. Glad to see you're fine as well.

    Oh hell yes! My 08 has been through it all. I bought it at 17 and I'm 26 turning 27 this year and it's been through hell and back and been in a few accidents, things have been replaced but it won't die. It's unreal. I love the durability of this little car.

    The only thing that is killing my tank is the rust. Aside from that, it keeps going and going
