    coolest member, ever. -beansNJ

    hey people, my name is Martin Santiago, I'm 19 years old, I live in central New Jersey, LINDEN/RAHWAY to be exact and I'm back on MAZDA's after a little hiatus.


    In all honesty, I fell in love with BMW's for a little while, the 318ti's.

    well guys, I have a little story about the first cars that I fell in love with, her name was Preciedia .. erhh ehmm well that's what SOME people called her, I knew her as MX3 (lol I'm burnt)

    but yeah, the story of it is that I actually worked at 6 flags over the summer to basically make some cash to buy it (and some other expensive toys too heh) but I bought an emerald looking color MX3 GS(I don't remember the manufacture color name, sorry) but she was low on Eibach cut coils (really LOW) and she was broken.

    SALAGE TITLE, yep. and I knew less about cars than I do now. (not claiming to know the most) so I got it towed from Richlandtown,PA (what a weird name) to East Windsor,NJ (I was just down there). yeah, to speed my story up, it got towed and I loved her.

    I was forced to leave Mazda's alone lol and I also stopped going on Mazdas247.com (until recently). it sucked because no one that lived even remotely near me had MX's.

    this site is like my last chance at a good forum with lots of people for the car. (the BMW 1 was awesome though.. not advertising or anything).


    yeah man, I'm a cool dude, just wanna get some cash of mine and drop it on a lucky mx-3 and hopefully run a 10s Mazda like that Puerto Rican guy Rafi we've probably all seen on YouTube.

    peacee

        @Pox, my ride got towed a few months back, I let it go but I'll be getting another mx3 gs in the next month or so.

        @DeeAOne, nice, not too far!

        still a little ways apart though!

                  damn, you've been through quite a few of cars!!

                  bro, I just want to get something that's not going to drain my pockets.

                  the MX3 shouldn't be expensive but parts aren't really easy to get.. right?

                    just a few cars. . here's the specific tally:
                    1. 1991 Mazda Protege DX
                    2. 1990 Mazda Protege DX
                    3. 1993 Mazda MX3
                    4. 1993 Mazda 323
                    5. 1990 Mazda Protege 4WD
                    6. 1989 BMW 525i
                    7. 1994 Mazda 323

                    these forums are GREAT for getting parts from other members on the cheap. most members are more than willing to pull something from the junkyard for you if they find it on their trips. The next best thing to having the junkyard next door to you is having a forum full of members willing to shop for you. post what you need before a weekend, and I'd bet several people will reply that they're willing to look for what you need. in fact, i know of several "community assisted" projects where people were waaay too far from a junkyard to get their own parts. most people will ship stuff to you "at cost" or with a few bucks added for their trouble. Just be sure to check people's seller feedback ratings (Positive Feedback Percent) before sending any money!
