Members over there are assholes, but they admit they are assholes. So if you have a thick skin and get over that newbie period, you will learn a lot of mazdaspeed platform and get to meet some cool people. Most people are willing to help out each other either on/offline. There are so many members who are super knowledgeable regarding our platform.

I have to tell you, if you want to get some help there, you must donate $10 to the site. It's like a mandatory step to start playing over there. Unlike our AZ, that site is solely maintained by members donation funding.

There's nothing wrong with what you bought. I considered a regular 6, just happened to get lucky with finding an unmolested MS6.

Yeah, I don't post there at all. I made an introduction and that's it, otherwise I just browse for info. It's a tough crowd over there. I'm happy right where I am on AZine.
ST, don't put anything related to turbo on the plate! It's kinda cheesy... hahaha But, I mean if you like it, go for it.

They are actually extremely helpful and cool if you meet them in person, that's for sure.

Since I couldn't make a final decision on a specialty plate, I spent my money on something I for sure knew I wanted... an XCarLink iPod connector. Just hope it performs nearly as well as the USA Spec iPod connector I had in the Accord.

Some might have seen the Phoenix metro area got slammed with a mega dust storm the other night. Probably the dirtiest the MS6 will ever get lol.

I've been thinking about wheels lately and have been checking out CL daily to see if there's any good deals out there. Tonight I came across some wheels I never thought I'd actually find, Kosei K1 TSs. There's a set of 18x7.5 in anthracite on CL. The guy's asking $475 obo but doesn't know the bolt pattern or offset, so it's a crap shoot, but if I can get these for 4 bills it'd be a hell of a deal. Only 16lbs each! I loved these the second I saw them on Tirerack back in the day. I'd buy them new if they still offered them in 18s but they only have them in 17s now.

They look great on the 6 with a drop (which I'd wait to put them on until I dropped it). Going to check them out tomorrow at 3pm. Hope they're legit! Here's someone with them on a regular 6. Opinions? Thoughts?

At first, I thought it looked okay, but on your red MS6 I think it'll look great!

And holy cow on that dust storm. Think I'm gonna go and hug my garage.

How is it working out with the baby? We have an Accord but we might be in the market for a new car in the near future and just curious if this is baby friendly.

Yeah I figured there would be, not too original I guess. Kind of hoping the Koseis work out.

Yeah at 16lbs for the 18s they're lighter than anything else I was looking at, actually, way lighter. I love OZ Superleggaras too but they're hard to come by in the used market, too.

The MS6 works awesome so far with the baby. The back seat is large enough to accomadate his car seat and I don't have to move my seat up at all when it's in it. Being 6'3" this was a huge concern for me when car shopping. There's plenty of room for his stroller in the trunk, too. He's a newborn so we haven't been going out too much yet, but when we have, he's been great. He loves his car seat and sleeps the whole time he's in the car. My company actually makes baby mirrors for the car so I just put one on the back head rest so when I look in the rearview mirror I can see him (rearward facing car seat) so that was a nice addition. When's your baby due?

That mirror sounds pretty cool, I need to look into that. The baby is due on the 15th, but she can come any day now (as long as its not the 12th, thats the day of the MLB All Star Game ). We were discussing on whether or not to get a new car and which ones we would consider. I know the Accord will do fine, but we are keeping our options open for the future.
