Since the weather forecast couldn't have been more wrong, I washed and waxed the Mazda3 today. What was supposed to be 90% chance of rain all day turned out to be partly sunny by 11:00 and max 21,5°.

I'm still angry at the orange peel and poor paint quality of the car though.

So many years ago, I did a track day and it was blast. Mentally I just get so focused, so mentally alert and calculated when I'm there and I love it.

Ugh, wish I had a car to take to a trackday.

Took it for a free Esso car wash. Whole side of the car was covered by an almost liquid salt by a salt truck last week.

Hiya HeliDriver! Yeah, got pretty sick for a couple of months and then just kinda fell out of looking at autos.ca for a while... But I missed catching up with/ chatting with friends on the forum - like you guys! - so I'm back. :)

Welcome back! 

Some more pics from today.  There were a lot of nice cars (M3s, GT3s, Cayman S/Rs...), but this was the coolest.

Love the Green Car plate on that thing too.  Imagine tootling down the carpool lane giving the finger to the rest of the commuters stuck in traffic.   ;D
