Hello guys, I have been real busy today but will do my best to get some current pics uploaded for your viewing pleasure by the weekend.
I am in SE Michigan, in the northern suburbs of Detroit.
The car has been a pleasure to own, and by far the best handling car I've ever driven. It will definitely be missed. To this day, I still get people telling me it's a great looking car.
Don't know what else to say except it has strakes, but not the rear spoiler, front lip, or bodyside add-on. It does have the rotary accents, and as a Grand Touring pkg has the sunroof, foglights, and 6-disc Bose system (no navigation). The car has Racing Beat screens installed, clear corners and a Mazdaspeed license plate bracket and aluminum oil cap. I have the original yellow corners and oil cap.
All the latest ECU flashes are done, the new starter was put in, latest spark plugs and pads were replaced all under TSBs. Battery is just under a year old. Oil changes done regularly every 3,500-5,000 miles.
Currently have Yokohama winter tires on the stock wheels. Have a set of Dunlop Direzza Star Spec's that were used for two summers that I will throw in. I would say you could get another 6,000-10,000 miles out of them depending on how you drive and rotate them.
Car was not driven in rain for the first two years of its life. Was not driven during the winter for the first four years of its life.
I'll stay in touch on this thread, or feel free to send me a PM with any specific questions.

Yes, I am the original owner. I should have all records buried in my file cabinet somewhere... other than the TSBs that I brought the car in for on my own initiative, I have not had any unplanned maintenance on the vehicle.
I've actually been pleasantly surprised with the vehicle... being on these boards for as long as I have and reading all the bad stories I was always wondering if I would go through the same mechanical problems.

Pictures of the Car
Here's my attempt at posting pics. The car is not washed (too much rain here) and they were taken using an iPhone, so keep that in mind....
