Important Discussion about Gas Mileage

Just joking....

I love the way my new 8 looks...




It's at the shop right now (after having it for 5 days) to fix my rim, but I'm driving a mazda3, which still feels nice compared to my old civic.

AND I'M SAVING ON GAS!

Looks nice, mine looks the same, but lose the dealer plates.

I think it was the curse of the mazda dealership (although, to be fair, they seem pretty good so far). When I was about to pick it up, the guy that was getting and car ready for delivery came up and asked to speak to my sales guy privately. I waited about 5 minutes and he came back and we finished signing the papers.

When I went outside the car was parked so that I'd only see the driver side, and of course, being excited, I didn't walk around the car, I just hoped in, got a quick lesson about where everything was and I drove away.

Later that night my friend noticed the scratch on the rim, so someone before had hit a curb on the passenger side rear. They didn't give me any trouble getting it fixed, but there is no way that the guy cleaning it didn't notice it.

Oh well...

Do you know what a Mazda dealer might charge to repair minor curb rash?

Too much. Why in the world would you go to a dealer to fix curb rash?
