This story might be a little long so be forwarned: It all started last Saturday i was with my friends, there were 8 of us and 2 cars, i of course had my Mazda3 and my buddy Matt had his 00 Eclipse GT, we decided that there were too many cops around to race and it was to early (around 2:30pm) too there were to many people we might hurt. So we decided to drive to the mall and hang out their for a while opon getting there we decided to have a little game of cat and mouse but instead of flashing highs we decided to tag each other with food all the while driving, so we went to the mall and bought ~$20 worth of food and the rules were we cant get anything that would ruin the paint and the first one with the least amount of stuff by the time we got back to the McDonalds wins, the only route we could use was 40 since on 95 we'd be hitting about 110mph and unable to hit each other and we might get caught for reckless driving, so my team, team Mazda consisting of Me, Mike, Brandon, and Katie vs. Matts team, team Eclipse consisting of Him, Molly, David, and Teddy. Lets just say we decided to get a head start so we ran back to my car and proceded to trash of car we used honey, duck sause, doughnuts, and **** lube...dont ask.

We decided to wait for them so it can be a fair fight cuz it took them 10min to get out of the mall, we waited until we saw them turned around parked somewhere else and waited until they got in there car, of btw the expression of his face when he saw his car...priceless, and we drove away. Of course with his car being ~230hp and mine being only ~160hp it did not take him long to catch up, so first we were weaving through traffic me trying to get away and him trying to catch me, so driving about 20miles over the speed limit we ran still cutting through traffic, thinking we got away we ducked behind a Home Depot for a few minutes, and them all of the sudden we saw his charging at us from behind so i threw it in manual and drove off and ended up in a ally, dodging trash cans and boxes we were pulling hitting the brake hard i slid around the corner (the car threw me in an angle).

After finding a main street i was unlucky enough for it to be wide open so he had plenty of time to catch up we bobed and weaved a little bit avoiding there food and finally it happened he got me, we got out to confirm the damage, i was now the cat. So we got in our cars and he started to run and obviously i was not going to catch up but luckly further ahead traffic was a bound, this was my chance to get him back after a few minutes Mike who was in the passenger seat was able a nail him with a slice of pizza, once again we switched roles. I was lucky enough to find an open lane to haul *** in while he was boxed in this lasted until 6:45pm. I was the first to get back to McDonalds with the last amount of damage so i won, we then counted up our remaining money to give out cars a full body wash and wax before our team meet. THE END

 

I've never had my hatch fall on me, but I just know it will someday. The rear shocks on 7s are supposed to automatically raise the hatch, but I have to lift it myself. It stays up by itself, but I know the shocks are very worn. Oh and 2 Months ago when I just got it, I drove it once, left, came back and it didn't even crank. Just click, click, click...... Turns out in the cross country delivery, the battery got totally drained because someone left the faceplate for the aftermarket radio on, which is always on reguardless if car is on or not. It scared me to death. I thought I had just bought a POS car and it would'nt start with 95k miles on it! Haha scary, but good times.

 

hehe nice story Tracker. It reminds me of how the people in the movie Mischief Invasion do their car food fights except it's not tag, it's full out food fight lol..

 

My first Mazda Was a 1977 Mazda RX3 with only 70,000 miles and one owner. My dog broke her neck playing with my other dogs and I had to sell the car to pay off vet bills and my dog passed away.

 

Well i dont have much of a story, but it was funny and happened on my way home today. i am cruising along and i hear someones loud exhaust behind me, it happened to be a Mitsubishi OZ Rally edition with exhaust and intake. so he pulls up next next to me at a light and starts revving, i dont pay him attention, but i know what we are going to do. the light turns green and we are off, he pulled a little bit in first gear, but when he shifted to 2nd i pulled away, still in first dropped the 2nd and was even farther ahead. and after that he tried nothing again. this poor underpowered Lancer OZ Rally has no chance against a stock '06 3i w/2.0L engine. while he was in 4th gear i was driving along in 2nd, and to think i almost bought one of those cars. i will give him a little credit, he had the CAI and exhaust, so that maybe added about 10hp to his total, but look at the spec;

O•Z®

I've been challeneged 3 times in the 2 months of owning my 7 and won all 3 times. I don't start ****, I just finish it. This is with low compression and no mods. Just wait till I get my engine ported and rebuilt and mod from there.

 

yeah i cant wait to steal it after that, i mean i cant wait to see your track times

 

heh, If there's ever a nationwide meet that we both attend (unlikely) I'll be more than happy to show you what it can do, actions speaker louder than possibly false posted track times. I'm going to wait a while to get into autocross, I need about a year to restore it. It's ok I've got no where to drive and I can walk to where I'm going to work. I get the job over summer to pay for the restoration.

 

sounds like you would post a fake track time, j/k i know what you mean, what you should do is when you get it fixed up take a friend with ya and have him videotape your time.

 

hehe ignore the editing message, it's the same, that's because I hit edit instead of quote haha. Not used to being a moderator. Ok here's what my post was suppoed to say.

"I would but my car's exhaust would shatter the camera lense. (haha ricer excuse) j/k but after the resto I want to film at put up some driving videos. A small camera in my grille, one behind the front wheel, one in a friend's car, and a couple of shots from roadside."
