An uncommon platform, but not in like a cool way - Mazda6

That looks insanely good man. I love it! Never thought these could look so good.

Nice shots! +1 for chrome handles, and agreed on suitability of chrome emblem.

This pic is mint.

Your photos are great man

Lol I have to confess that one wasn't even taken by me, it was someone's Tuner Evo coverage.

Your photos are great man

Thanks I'm really trying to avoid looking at nicer camera gear.

BTW: if anyone would like to link up on Flickr, I just made one.

Found a cool spot which is like an abandoned highway service road, completely covered in leaves and dirt. I had to drive the wrong way down the offramp to get there which was sketchy.

Photos look good man, followed you on flickr. Livery is a nice addition for sure

Not a whole lot has been going on car-wise; been super swamped with the end of the semester and the impending sense of dread as I come to the realization I graduate in May and need, like, a JOB.

I did want to make a post because of a few things:

1. Chrome door handles are on the car and I really like them
2. My girlfriend surprised me for our anniversary by commissioning someone to make me an 11" katana handle shift knob out of wood and metal and stuff with our anniversary date engraved on it. I know the car is an auto but at least it isn't a giant bubble dildo knob or something. Hopefully I can figure out a way to make a leather/suede boot for the shifter but I'll need to look into that.
3. Looks like I'll be upgrading to a full-frame camera this Christmas.


Anyway, commencing photo dump of the Mazdarati Autozone Speciale di Chroma Superleggera Competizone.

Found a crazy abandoned arcade thing with giant statues of rusted knights and had to take some pics.



Here's the shift knob; pardon the terrible photo and dirty interior.



Some pics I took yesterday.... note the antlers. I did take them off for a couple pics. These photos were taken with an ancient Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 lens from the 80s... manual everything. Challenging but I really like how they turned out!









Pretty stoked with how the chrome handles look honestly!! Hope everyone is having a good holiday season.

Stupid af I **** it

Stupid af I **** it

Then you'll **** the first song off my new mixtape

MAZDA THE RED NOSED STANCEDEER
HAS SOME VERY SHINY CHROME
IF YOU ASKED WHERE I GOT IT
I WOULD SAY "FROM AUTOZONE"

ALL OF THE OTHER CARDEER
USED TO LAUGH AND CALL HIM GAY
THEY NEVER KNEW LIL' STANCEDEER
DOESN'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY

THEN ONE LATE-NIGHT LOCAL MEET
SCENE KIDS CAME TO SAY
"MAZDA WITH YOUR WHEELS SO BRIGHT
WON'T YOU GIVE YOUR SPECS TONIGHT?"

THEN HOW THE SCENE KIDS LOVED HIM
AS THEY SHOUTED OUT WITH GLEE
"I KNOW WHAT SPECS TO BUY NOW
WHEN I KILL THE GAME, YOU'LL SEE!"

That is pure genius...

This is probably the best post I've ever seen on here.

I found a fan of yours out my way. I saw a lowered new mazda 6 and asked him what he was lowered on, and he began to explain real slowly in layman terms what a coilover was, so I blew his fucking mind when I showed him a picture of your car and badgered him on his shitty spring rates and ill adjusted camber for his stock ass sunken wheels. He instantly recognized your car and told me that's what he was going to do to his and that your car was his favorite stateside 6/atenza.

You're famous bruh.

I was about to say I can't forgive you for putting the nose and antlers on your car as I despise them, but the rhyming verse has redeemed you.

Dude no way! That's hysterical. Was he a second gen like mine or a third gen? That just made my night haha.

If I'm gonna put tacky antlers and a nose on my car you better believe I'm gonna have the corny novelty song to back it up.

It was a 3rd gen. I wanna be like you when I grow up.
