(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  New MS3 owner First off. I am a sixty year young man that bought a 2009 MS3 true red and I love the car...love the looks of the car and then the power and the brakes. I bought it about six months ago and had the cer service and checked out by the Mazda dealer and haven't had any problems. I see no bolt on mods at all .... I am hoping I will just enjoy driving the car for as long as I can . Not sure if any other sixty year young guys driving a MS3 or MS6 out there. Not planning on doing any mods or racing but I love to watch cars and motor racing. Love this forum you all are ! Awesome ! Just realize I should have posted this in the new member forum ... Sorry!

Its been my daily driver until last year. Uber reliable and fun. My wife urged me to "get a grown up car", so I got a 430 hp Audi. She doesn't know how quick it is, because it has an auto transmission and quieter exhaust! I still drive the Speed 3 on weekends. Its my fountain of youth. Been here awhile. Seen and done a few things. If I can help, PM me. sundaydriver and Smallville like this.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Welcome! 60yr old man here, '09 speed 3 purchased new, modded. My first car out of High school was a 1974 Mazda rx3 - the one with the wankel engine. Drove it like a maniac, and blew the motor at 88,xxx miles... learned a lesson about driving a car hard, versus driving a car fast..... darkmx-6 likes this.
