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

ZOOM ZOOM ??
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. :thumb:
Oh, enjoy the new car. :)
Yeah, seriously! You've got some talent there, guy! :thumb:
Nice ride!
That was your "dream car" right? Congrats! Must be nice to work at a Mazda dealer to get parts and stuff you need cheap

yea how'd u remember??
thanks for all the comments guys, this car is just toooo much fun!!
I really like the 3 and yours looks great. Any future mod plans?
Gorgeous car! Gorgeous pics! Congrats!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
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?
@ 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
my first car was a mazda i still love em
I've always liked those cars- I'm an even bigger fan of the pics! :thumb:
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.
indeed sir. although im not a fan of teh three, i am a fan if its bigger brother :icon_twisted: both imho gorgeous vehicles. btw what camera type are you using? if i may ask :thumb:
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. :thumb:
VERY NICE RIDE :thumb:
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. O0
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. :laugh:

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

Definitely +1...awesome car and pictures :bowdown:
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.
no i did hardly anything to that photo. i messed with the levels to get the right contrast thats all
VERY nice pics, weaze!!! My wife drives a 2004 Mazda3 5-door (2.3L). We took a couple of road trips in it this summer and got over 30 mpg going as fast as we wanted to go. Fun car and very capable. I like it more every time I drive it.
It's hard not to salivate. Purdy set of wheels.
nice ride. do they make the 3 in mazdaspeed version and if so why didnt you opt for that? just curious.

The Mazdaspeed3 is new for 2007 or 2008 -- not sure which. It's also $$$.
the mazdaspeed 3 came out in 07. its very nice and NOT expensive (starts at 23 i think). i didnt get it because it only comes in a hatch :( poo poo
wait.. are you sure it's 07? My buddy had one back in my senior year of highschool, so '03-'04... And it was definitely the mazdaspeed, cuz it was turboed...
There was a Mazdaspeed Protege in 03, but the Mazdaspeed3 is new for '07, and only available as a hatch.
