Sounds good. Just let me know when you'll be around.

BTW, I've seen a couple of red MS6's running around the area.

^ I should be back in AZ in late July. I've been going back about every two months. I was in earlier this month but it was a last second rush trip where I was worked to death the 4 days I was there. Hopefully next time will be more of a catch up visit where I can actually get away for lunch.

I wonder if one of those red MS6s was the one I went to check out at Camelback Honda. I was sold before I could even see it. I'll have to look and see if there's some on the mazdaspeed forum in the PHX area.

I'll be in AZ Monday through Thursday this coming week, T. Tuesday or Wendesday works the best for me. Either for you?

If that was the case this might be a downgrade since it's much plumper than the one I already have.

Thank you sir. Once again I said I was done modding anything engine-wise yet I got bored yesterday, started looking in the classifieds and what do you know I find something to spend my money on ha ha.

Just flew into AZ and I spotted this gray MS6 on the way to work. Really made me miss mine while driving the slow as a dog Chysler 200 rental.

It definitely seems to want to pull harder at highway speeds. I actually got the best MPGs I've ever had on our roadtrip to Louisville and back this weekend. 25mpg round trip.

Yes sir, I'll get on that right away after I take a nap.

I haven't given it a good cleaning since I moved from that dust bowl called Arizona. The flash on the camera in a dark garage at night didn't help either.

My suggestion - Lemon-scented Scrubbing Bubbles from the grocery store. I learned that trick on M5Board.com and used it on the M5 periodically. Worked wonders and left a pleasant smell afterward. Just spray it on, let it sit, wash it off, and then wipe down a bit. Way easier than anything else I've ever used.

^ It's dusty and in a valley, thus it sort of resembles a dust bowl.

I'm sure you will.

Just got an offer from a local Mazdaspeed member to powder coat my shroud for free! Just have to drive an hour there and back but it'd be well worth it I think.

Starting to reconsider the red powder coated shroud. Maybe I'll just spray it with some hi temp black and call it a day.

Hmm I might just consider that. Or maybe I'll just fabricate one out of solid maple.

Just ask Tyler (CLtotheTL32), he'll be able to tell you where to get such a thing.
