Hello, new here!

Hello all! I am new here and figured I would drop in to introduce myself. My name is Alyssa, I'm 22 years old. I work as a server and bartender at Chili's. I just bought a 2004 Mazda 6 about 3 months ago. I love the car! First Mazda I have ever owned. I've always been a fan of the RX7 FD but can't do 2 cars at one time right now. I just got the base model, and am looking to do some modifications eventually. So...if any of you have anything to ask, please do so! I hope to learn more about my car, and yours as well through these forums.

hello!

i thought that you were a bartender?

Haha, Patrick...you must have skimmed over what I said. It says bartender in there!

Welcome to the family of 6 , AlyssaC .

What do you see as your first modifications and what kind of budget you talkin' ? That's a helper , also what turns you on in a car when you look at a car , what do you like to see on it ?

haha, my budget currently is $0! I really can't afford to do anything to the car for quite some time now. I just got my windows tinted on Wednesday. 35% all around. And I ordered an Atenza badge. Eventually, I would like to get some wheels...not sure what yet...I haven't really looked because the temptation would overcome me! Since I got the base model, I would like to put the aftermarket lip wing on, rear lip, VIS Racing front bumper, and sideskirts on. I also need to upgrade the brakes. Drilled, slotted rotors...maybe a big brake kit. To me the brakes on these cars feel cheap. Like I am going to snap the brake in half when I step on it! I'm looking to also turbocharge the car. I just need to see what kind of deals I can push for myself when I have the money to do all of this. I will more than likely upgrade my stereo sometime in '06 if my finances allow for it. Maybe with Bose or Rockford Fosgate...don't know yet! I originally was looking to put HID's in the car right after I got it, but decided to go cheap temporarily with Silverstars. I really try not to think about what I want to do to the car because it makes me itch to go and buy the stuff I want now! (If you can't tell that I try not to think about it....haha!)

wow, she is as broke as i am and i have my own business...

Well you wanted to know if I speak French as my first language .... I do .... and I've got a translation that would seem to apply to you .... ;) .... Attenza .... in french ; Attends ca ... or ; wait for this .... I like to play with words hehe .... guess you gonna have to wait a while , but as I say : waiting makes it all the more enviable .... sweet dreams

Haha...ah the joys of money! Really the only reason I am broke is because I bought a 2001 Mercedes SLK320 Roadster and it turned out to be a major problem. So, I had to take a hit and I bought the Mazda. But, I am still paying for the Mercedes for the loan rollover...damn it.

oh dayum... i guess i would have deff gone broke if i bought the S2000 like i wanted to...

haha, it's possible. What type of business do u own?

the brakes arent cheap. One of the best brakes I on the road!

he owns a sign business, i believe.

thats right Patrick!

Come again?! Are you saying Mazda6 stock brakes aren't cheap, or a big break kit with upgraded rotors aren't cheap? I know the upgrading isn't cheap at all.

DropTop, that's cool! So why aren't you making anything off of that? I figure that would pull in some cash for you. How are you marketing your business? Unless you're pulling my leg by saying you're poor!

i havent been able to completely start the business due to school issues... but next semester i only have class on mondays, so i will have the business open tuesday-friday.

Well, that's good. Marketing and reputation is all you really need. Well, and a good quality product!
