Default New Mazda Owner from WI

Hey guys. Here's a quick intro. I just recently purchased a 2005 Mazda Tribute 4x4 w/ the 3.0l V6. It's the sport package, so it has the sunroof, leather heated seats, premium sound, towing hitch, spoiler, roof rack, etc. I'm married with an 8-mo old. Both of my other vehicles are not suitable for the family. (One is too small, the other is past 200,000mi)

It's my first Mazda that I ever owned. I really like the Tribute, and kinda looking forward to the snow this year he he. My only concern has been the road noise, but after researching it seems to be related to the crappy continental tires.

Here's some pictures











Here's my other vehicle for fun. Low 13 second DSM. If you know much about DSM's 13seconds is slow. This thing likes to cause trouble and break down randomly.







This one is the retired family vehicle. It has the GM 3800 motor in it. They are known to last forever, but I'm not sure how long forever is. Currently it is at 210,000 miles. Now it's my winter beater.

Looks good, laserj. Very red!!
Nah, seriously it's a nice red.
Of course I think the Tribute is more Ford than Mazda, but if I am wrong about that, I'm sure sstlaure will be by to let me know.
He's our resident Ford engineer here, and a nice guy too.

I believe you are right though. The tribute is borrowed from the Ford Escape.

Looks like it won't fit in the garage!!

Eh, eh, eh! No sneaking links into your sig to promote your business is allowed unless you are a proper authorized vendor. If you want that information, please PM me or one of the other Mods.
If not, please refrain from "updating" your sig.

Nevermind. I see it's "YOU" again. Good bye now and don't bother coming back. We are not interested in all the sh*t you are selling.
