well, i guess it sounds like Boston Pizza on McPhillips will work for everyone. The address is A-2211 McPhillips. I say we meet around 4:00 on february 16th. I'm just gonna park my car and chill in the lounge when i get there cause i doubt it'll be warm enough to hang outside.

Judging by the damn weather this morning... A lounge sounds pretty good!! There's one thing I don't understand though... it snows an inch or two, and everybody slows down to 20 kph... what gives?? It's one thing to be cautious, it's another to drive like people do!! Sorry, just ranting here!!

I should be at the meet....sorry Phu you are SOL on getting gifts from me...I'm too busy buying gifts for myself.
Just in the process of picking up some nice Kumho V700 r-compound racing tires for autoX this spring/summer. Hey Rey, where's that hookup on some cheap Konigs? I would love to get a set of 15" Konig Traffiks(super light, around 12.5 lbs each)....and it'd be perfect in white, but the silver finish would do as well. Let me know a price on that! It would be great to see more Mazda representation out at autoX this year, I'll be sure to bug you all as we get closer to it starting for the year.

hey adam,
well my car was sold about a month after i trraded up to the mp3. But apparently some old lady bought it????? Guess she liked the loud muffler
But Gerry's took my car in for about a week ( assume).....they're using it as a test car to figure out the infamous mp3 clunk problem.... 
Rather than just switching the bushings, they're actually gonna try to get to the root of te problem. I'm driving a 2002 black protege lx right now as a loaner. Kinda sucks, i hate automatics. But if my car isn't back by the 16th, atleast i won't feel out of place at the protege meet

Hey guys,
I'm not gonna be able to make this meet, gotta go in for surgery Hopefully I'll make the next one!
And I got rear-ended yesterday Doesn't look like much aside from a few scrapes, but I want to get it fixed..... Am I right in thinking I'm looking at a total bumper cover replacement?

Hey Soma,
Looks like its got a small nick in it, also looks like it did get cracked along the top (small crack). I'm not the biggest expert on cars, but couldn't there be damage underneth the cover as well.
I didn't really get nailed to badly, so hopfully it won't be too bad.
Thanks for the luck on the surgery

i'm not to knowledgable when it comes to bumpers but i'm sure you're right....there could possibly be damage underneath the cover but not likely....have your autobody check it out(unless MPIC does it first)
