Not everyday you find a fellow enthusiast in the wild. Wish I could have spent more time talking shop but had a work meeting I was already running late to 😢 pleasure meeting you!

Mazda Speed3 and I have a crosstrek so maybe it’s a crossover thing 😂

Man I’d love to run into people in public and bond over hobbies. The only issue is I’m too much of a gremlin to leave my bunker.

Actually it is technically a mindfulness technique because of the repetitive motion and focus so maybe I have a new practice 😂

Lubing switches it absolutely a mindfulness activity

VoiceofRedditMkI t1_j8zzalj wrote
I'm doing that! That's a great idea to find people with similar interests - put a sticker of a subreddit on something a lot of people who can talk to you will see. Clothes, on background if youre streaming or making a social media post, on your laptop, car counts as you will often go from driver to pedestrian due to the nature of it.

Why do all the stickers shorten the sub to r/mk ? When you google r/mk this sub is below the DeviantArt page and two Twitter pages for R-MK... When you click r/mk in reddit it goes to nothing.

How to get the decal?

Good to know Hainbach is into these kind of keyboards, also.
Somegeezer t1_j90rkjg wrote
Computer keyboards aren't really something that often comes up in public. I'm sure they do exist, but it's not exactly every day you're going to find a group of keyboard enthusiasts just getting together in typing groups.
Not like photographers will hang out and take pictures together, or musicians will hang out to jam.

Mazdas are often praised for their engaging driving and great driver feedback (especially for the price), plus have one of the highest percentages of manual transmission sales. Mazdas are the mechanical keyboard of the car world.

pelicansauce t1_j916q28 wrote
Yes, under certain situations too much input from a drivers right foot will cause significant slipping of the front tires resulting in excessive wear. It's gross and Mazda should fix it.
Xanimun t1_j916za0 wrote
Where do you guys get the stickers? I want one on my car asap
Lei_Fuzzion t1_j916zrv wrote
Or just fully blue the board
Swizzel-Stixx t1_j919be9 wrote
Ah… As in the car is too powerful to hold grip? Is this just off the line or during normal acceleration too?
TheLastDrifter t1_j91a8jo wrote
If you're asking these questions, I would look into something other than a speed3. They can torque steer pretty easily if you are giving it the beans. It regularly likes to spin in first and second gear due to the torque and it being front wheel drive. A regular Mazda 3 will be up your alley, they are light and still corner really well.
I don't mean to dissuade you from a MS3, but you really should research that platform before you decide. They have some fun quirks.

It’s a joke about the car having more power than normal Mazdas resulting in ‘lead foot’. There isn’t an actual problem with the cars

tmemmons t1_j91nlsg wrote
I’ll just go ahead and add some input as a recent 5 year owner of a 2nd gen Mazdaspeed 3 list like in the pic. It’s by far the most fun car I’ve ever owned. Torque steer is extremely manageable and actually can be mitigated with many various suspension mods. Even in stock form it is nothing worth not considering the car over I promise. If anything it’s a reason worth buying, it’s so playful and enjoyable. And the front tire comment was def a joke I’m sure. The tires do not wear excessively lol. Lmk if you have any other questions I knew the car well and miss it every day!!!

Very nice Speed3 you have there. Mine is the 2013, so it came with the gunmetal/black wheels.

Yeah, I got that when another commenter used the term lead foot, then scrolled up and saw how the other comments were jokes about right foot, ect, and how I got sucked right in.
I feel gullible now…
But seriously, thanks for the advice, I just like fun little cars, the ms3 is a great option!
tmemmons t1_j93f3bf wrote
Lol I didn’t catch it at first either. 😂awesome well the MS3 is an AWESOME car! Just get one that was maintained and continue to maintain it!!
