Chris,
Those are such awesome shots. You should send some to Mazda to use as promos. You might just have a new job.

Chris,

Excellent photos!  It's a pleasure to watch your photography skills develop.  It took me a minute to realize that #3, 4, and 5 weren't Mazda promo shots.  Especially #3.  Keep up the good work.   

Oh, enjoy the new car.   

[Caffeine]

Yeah, seriously!   You've got some talent there, guy!   

Nice ride!

[manofthefield]

That was your "dream car" right?  Congrats!  Must be nice to work at a Mazda dealer to get parts and stuff you need cheap

I really like the 3 and yours looks great. Any future mod plans?

[pandy]

Gorgeous car! Gorgeous pics! Congrats!!! 

[sanjay]

Nice!  My gf has a 3 as well, and it's a blast to drive.  Your photos are great, too... maybe convince the dealership to let you do some promo shots for their advertising?

[weaselnoze]

@ max_boost   -  the mods never stop.  i posted a list of current mods however as i come by more money im sure i'll waste it on the car!


thanks guys for the comments. i was actually thinking of submitting one or 2 of these to mazdausa and see if they can do something with it

[frankieG]

my first car was a mazda i still love em

[CasiUSA]

I've always liked those cars- I'm an even bigger fan of the pics! 
You should send the pics to Mazda, maybe there's a career in motor vehicle photography for you- I would have thought you were a pro from those pics.

[yamahonkawazuki]

indeed sir. although im not a fan of teh three, i am a fan if its bigger brother both imho gorgeous vehicles. btw what camera type are you using? if i may ask

[chris5150]

my roommate got rid of his mazda 3 after a year. the dealership bought it back for exactly what he owed.
they hold their value quite well. and they are nice cars but my roommate did not want a car payment
if all he wanted to do was ride his bike. now in the rare times he needs to travel in a cage he uses my
neon.

i have it best i have no car payment or bike payment. i buy everything with cash. living a good life through
simplicity.

VERY NICE RIDE 

That thing is 'phat', 'sick', 'trick', 'tight', 'off the chain'   and any other cool-kid slang that I may not be up to date on. 

I love the pictures, too.   You've got talent.  That must have been a positively gorgeous day.  That blue sky goes on forever.

Now that you're dr. vtlion, you're officially not allowed to use those words.

+1 on the in-car picture.  Did you do any correction afterwards to reduce windshield reflection, or did it just turn out nicely?

Jake

Definitely +1...awesome car and pictures

[weaselnoze]

thanks again guys for the comments.  sanjay - what picture are you referring to? 

the shots were taken with a nikon d70s and either a sigma 10-20mm or the nikkor kit lens

#6, the one while you're driving.
