Mazda3 Sport GT

As some of you readers may have figured out or know, I recently made one of the biggest purchases in my life. I bought a brand new car - a Mazda3 Sport GT.

I've pretty much wanted this car ever since it was still a Mazda Protege5. I really liked the Protege, and I was sad when I heard that they were discontinuing the model, but was thoroughly surprised with the pleasantness of the Mazda3 Sport. I liked the look of it back in 2004 and I still like the look of it in 2008. I heard that the Mazda3's are due for a makeover in 2009, and that it will be longer and wider.

The reason why I bought this car is because my 1997 Ford Escort has started to overheat, and I decided not to put anymore money into the car to fix it up. So, right now it's sitting on my driveway taking up space until I do something with it. Whether it be selling it AS IS, or donating it to a place that will dispose of the car properly. So, if anyone knows anyone that's willing to buy a broken car to fix up, let me know!

Anyway, without further ado (adieu?), I introduce to you, my Mazda3 Sport GT in Crystal White Pearl.
