One of these days, I'm going to try to meet up with the Tri State Mtn Roo guys in the Pine Barrens for some off roading in my new Outback. Want to bring the Mazda?

The new Mazda looks nice. Congrats. All Mazda owners that l know are happy with them.

I've lost track of how many vehicles you have owned over the years. Forester, Dodge pickup, Frontier, Mazda 3, CX-3 are some that come to mind. Can you list all vehicles you have owned since you joined BITOG?

Thanks. I forgot about the Accord and Corolla, but now remember making a comment on how clean you kept the engine on the Accord. I still recall you posting the Dodge Ram when you purchased it.

I've made some bad decisions among those I listed, but it worked out in the end. I like to keep a car 5 years or more. I usually get the new car itch around that 5 year mark. Have a warranty is important to me so I usually buy new and intend on keeping them 5 years or so.

Buster, it's a nice ride ... but not sure it's manly enough for truck and suv oil ... maybe if you put a brush guard on it

LOL it's definitely not a "manly" vehicle.

I like it! I'm going down to the Mazda dealer to check one out in person.

Yeah, I see that now. My bad. Buster, sorry 'bout that wasn't intentionally slandering your purchase, cognitive hiccup, brain cramp on my part !!

Saw my first 'live' CX-30 last week. It was in 'Soul Red Crystal Metallic' and absolutely stunning. I thought it was a CX-5 until it drove away and I saw the decal on the hatch.

^ Mazda has a really nice red. One of the nicest I've seen.
