This WAS my Glacier Silver Mazda 6s. Sport package, Bose audio package.
3.0L V6, 5-speed manual
Purchased 4/2/03 new

The reason I say "Was" is that it is no longer mine. Yes, I sold my baby on April 30, 2006. Sold it to make extra money for my wedding, which was May 27. In its place, I bought a cheap, used 2000 Nissan Sentra. You can check out its page here, or continue down below to enjoy the car that was once mine!

Autocross events:

Second Autocross event on November 13, 2005! Got the wife to go along, too, with her car (2001 Protege LX, auto, 1.6L). Times for my 3 runs in order:

63.425 sec
63.162 sec
63.627 sec

As you can see, my 3rd was my worst, probably because I had some control problems on that run. But overall it was not bad.

First Autocross event on September 10, 2005. Times were:

96.604 sec
91.528 sec DNF (Did Not Finish)
88.616 sec
89.080 sec DNF
85.045 sec

My 2 DNF's were because I took a turn too wide (same turn both times!) and went off course. I got back on and actually finished the course, but it was counted as a DNF because I did not go back on course in the same spot that I went off.

TWM Short-Throw Shifter pictures
(Pictures reflect the off-center version. A correctly-centered version was sent to me and installed, but I never got pictures of it before I sold the car.)

Magnaflow Cat-back Exhaust pictures

I had just washed the car and hadn't dried it yet (sun was going down rapidly and I needed to get the pictures); hence the water droplets.
