45838, Long time no post..
Posted by Flipboi89, Jan-17-11 01:57 PM
Just stopping in again. Haven't posted in awhile. I've been here for a little while and I've learned alot from you guys and the website. Just a little update on whats happening.

My eclipse is currently in storage until spring. But once spring comes Ill be putting her up for sale. Sad to see her go but I needed a more reliable car since I'm a poor college student lol.

I picked up a 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 with 36k miles on it. Here's just two crappy pics.







I owe alot to some of you guys with patience of helping to teach my #### self a little more about our cars and I say thanks.


The only two somewhat recent pics I have of my eclipse. I wish I could find my old posts on how far this car has come.





*cheers*

Hey man, good luck with school.

I don't know why people say they need a more reliable car. The 2g has been the most reliable car I've ever driven, over the 11.5 years I've had it.

I agree. Although I had some bumps along the way and a rebuilt motor, it was the most reliable and affordable(maintenance)vehicle that I've owned prior to selling it this year after owning it for 8-9yrs. Even w/ the 120,000+ miles upon letting her go, she still purred out of the driveway like the day I purchased from the dealership w/ the new owner. Such a sad day that was.

Why do people angle the camera to a damn 45* when taking pictures of cars?

It's overly misused. It truly only works w/ the proper lighting and subject.

Oh well my car really can't drive in the winter. It be a snow plow that wouldn't move much lol..

Yeah I got my generals done with school now just waiting for the wifey to get back from school across seas in a month to go from there. Dental school I got to start, like 5 more years no fun.

And ya I didn't take those pics I didn't notice about that angle but its kinda true haha.

Hmm some familiar posters nice to see that :)

OOOO C'mon! Don't give me that snow plow mumbo jumbo. Unless you're from my state of Michigan or anywhere in the midwest where snow is no joke, I don't want to hear it. Specially considering I drove it during the last 3-4 winters due to the failure of two winter beaters.

Speaking of such, here is a pic of my Michigan winter beater from last week! She actually does pretty well in the snow, with a California driver and all:
