  "CARBON 6" MAZDA6

mddy0's 2003 Mazda 6

 

Hi, I'm Marcus.  Welcome to my "Carbon6" 2003 Mazda6 V6 website.  I bought her new from the Mazda dealership in Marlow Heights, MD in July 2003.  I kept her stock for the first year, while waiting for someone to make an aftermarket dash kit to change out the stock radio.  Since then, I've been through many adventures with my steel gray mazda6, including road trips, upgrades, break-ins, scratches, breakdowns, and repairs .  I've taken advice from other car enthusiasts and made changes to my car based on my personal taste.  I'm very proud of my project and would love to share ideas with fellow mazda6 owners and car enthusiasts.
