2023 Mazda CX-5 Turbo

I love it!

2023 Toyota Tacoma and yes, I like it.

Ford Ranger STX. And yes, I love it.

Tesla Model 3. It's a good ride, but I can't say I like cars. Gets from A to B.

2012 Vauxhall Vivaro. Does everything I need it to, nice enough to drive, pretty good on diesel, fits all the band and all the gear in.

(That one isn't mine, but mine's identical)

I have an old Civic and I like that it runs and I have no payments.

2022 Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Sold vehicle for highway MPG. Not a great vehicle to get around with 6 + inches of snow.

2021 Jeep Wrangler High Altitude (the sky one touch power top is awesome!)

2022 Toyota 4runner TRD sport (modified to 18" wheels/tires)

Love both, the Jeep is more high maintenance though (typical jeep)

My wife drives the Jeep mainly. Both can be offroaded for camping or skiing no problem. I can fit my mountain bike in the back of the 4runner no problem, and also great for my dog.

The best part is both are completely paid off

2016 Mazda CX-5 Non Turbo

It's perfect for my needs.

HATED it the week I bought it. Seat was too hard, gave me leg spazms, dead ass, etc. I took it to the upholsterers and had them drill a bunch of the foam out of the seat. Seemed fine after that.

It needs a wash. but it keeps raining.

Fantastic! I am glad a fellow Mazda owner is here! You would love a 2024!

A 2009 Nottamazda...

What are the new features?

I have never bought a new car, and likely never will.... but I bet there has been some upgrades!

It depends on the trim you are in now, but now they all have all of the safety features which are now standard like
Blind spot monitoring, cross traffic alert, back up camera, etc. They all come with a mobile remote start, apple car play/android auto. They are also all come with all wheel drive now

I have my 2003 Ford Explorer, and yes, I like it. My 21 year old car has only 156K miles on it, and it runs like a champ!
I don't drive much, just to work and back, about 10 miles a day.
My boyfriend drives everywhere else and he has a 2022, Mazda CX-5. It's a great car!

Is the Metal Sludge discount still valid? What can you offer Huey?

I own a 2001 Ford Ranger. It's perfect for me. It has less than 70,000 original miles on it.
Someone broke off the outside passenger door handle one night, so I just left it that way.
Somebody stole the radio antenna in a store parking lot, so I got a stubby little replacement that works better than the old one.

Yeah! Can you drive it to Los Angeles too?

2021 Lincoln Navigator Black Label
I absolutely love it as much as the day I got it; I don't think there will ever be a time that I dont own one of these

Can you and open an old honky tonk somewhere called, "Little Stubbies", just so people can tell stories about the time they played, "Little Stubbies?"

Yes it is still valid! My GM knows of my love of hair metal and I will certainly take sell the vehicle under invoice for any member of the Metal Sludge community!

I would help you work your deal at a Mazda dealership in LA. We won’t deliver that far! I will help you tho!

2024 Hyundai Palisade
It's great, super comfortable, closest to a luxury vehicle I've ever owned. Just wish the payments weren't so goddamn much and for so long. Needed to get new wheels at the time and got exactly what we wanted. Interest rate was over 6% despite credit scores over 800. Oh well. I've had it 5 months and just flipped 2600 miles.

If I understand you correctly....I believe the answer might be..........yes.

0% APR for the rest of his life? How many vintage hair metal t-shirts could you get from your supplier as an incentive?
