Default Wuts up

I live in San Antonio, Tx
Im from England
Bought my first car yesterday, a 2009 Mazda 3 i sport, black on black
Paid cash for it, im 17 so I feel really accomplished
Maybe in the future Ill look to throw and intake on it and maybe a bit more.
For now Ill have fun driving it , before I was stuck with an old malibu, it drove like a boat

Cash @ 17? Are you from Royalty... a Blue Blood?
Damn, Man.I have 30+ yrs on you, have owned mine for over 4 yrs now and am still paying itoff!!
W/a black on black Mazda3 in San Antonio, the first thing I would do is run to the best (and fastest ) tint shop in town for some+/-25% heat reflecting tint. Then I would get a good reflective windshield sunscreen to keep the interior a little cooler and so that the dashboard and steering wheel won't burn you.



You are young, but these cars do not have the mosteffective A/C systems on the market.

You don't say which trim package you got and what, if any accessories?
Post some pics when you have them.

I got the i sport, nothing special but its nice
I gotta get the tint soon, it has little to none ha


I paid cash from an insurance policy that ended when I turned 16, $4000
And pretty much the rest is from working since I turned 16, I worked my way up very quickly and became a shift manager for this small local resteraunt. I save most of every check, now I can spend

And yes, now Im driving my 3, the malibu feels like even more of a boat. It really felt like a tank around corners and braking
