I inherited the car from my Aunt a couple years back and it is a great grocery getter (doesn't matter where you park you don't even have to lock it), dog hauler, wheel, tire and parts fetcher and is the perfect car to teach a teen to drive in without fear of them damaging wheels, bumpers or fenders. I drive it about once a week locally around Huntington Beach it's the perfect incognito mobile no one pays any attention to you however merging into traffic has to be planned well in advance and regularly getting cut off is just par for the course.
We have affectionately named it the Mazdaratti (RoadKill) and I am very tempted to put an M badge on it.
So there's mine – share yours
