Mtnbikecrazy55 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Hey all- The ol escort wagon took its final plunge on Christmas Day at around 1am after gracefully conquering a snowstorm and making it into town it's heartbeat and to a grinding halt and it coasted into a gas station parking lot. Dropped a valve seat and at 235k it's just not worth it as there's about 1200$ worth of parts that would need to be replaced to bring it back to snuff and then I'm still driving a rusting out escort with 235k miles on it and holes in the floor. In the glory days: At its final testing place the following day: So after searching and searching all over the country compiling a database of cars to compare and consider: See the thing is, although with less than optimal, it still worked out pretty well as I'm off school until the 21st. So my plan was to have a deal finalized by tonight, and then fly out tomorrow to wherever it may be and then fly it home. Needless to say, it worked! :-) And here it is! 2005 Mazda 3 Hatchback, 5 speed Flying out tomorrow/today! Will be doing a small build in it much like in the escort but now much more proper, as I plan on having the car for a while. I want to find a way to have an enclosure for my DD1508, but somewhere tucked away and not taking up much space nor has to be moved when I fold the seats down. It will require some thought, but I don't have the excess money at the moment anyway so I will have some time to figure it out. More pictures to come!! Chris I hate long signatures.... ...what the fuck is wrong wiht you you fucking fuckity fuck fuck head... Mtnbikecrazy55 Feedback

CleanSierra Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 That's Arizona alright. Looks like either Fountain Hills on the northeast, or possibly Goodyear/Avondale out west. Where did you get this car? There are plenty around here Good grab by the way, very nice. Shit, just realized it could be Glendale in Arrowhead too, those mountains are everywhere Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Mtnbikecrazy55 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Posted March 25, 2014 Not yet, decided to hold off on everything and just driving it for a couple months and selling it once I can start riding my motorcycle daily and then buying an 07-09 instead that I will plan on keeping for a good while as I'm really happy with the car as it is but so much as to want to find a newer one with less miles that I can keep around even longer and put all the things I would want to do to a car that I know I'll have a while, a legit system, nice susp. parts, tires, clutch, motor mounts, fully deadened for both Audio and road noise, etc. Planning a super stealth but great sounding system, clean front stage, single 8" sub, or maybe even possibly a 6.5 depending on what's available when the time comes. But thanks for checking in and when this all happens in the next car I will be absolutely sure to share the progress with you guys along the way!
