Like any proud papa, I think my baby is the best. I don't care if it is unruly, doesn't play nice with others, and isn't the brightest bulb in the pack. It's still mine and it's awesome! With that said I thought I would share some photos I took of my Speed3 when I picked her up from the dealership.

And one of her in the snow, just to show that lots of torque-steer and winter can get along!

Got any photos of your baby? Post/link them in the comments!

I shall take you up on that challenge my fellow Torque Steerer!

Once I finish my beer and sober up. Considering I've had a couple of bottles so far....umm, maybe in a few hours.

Until then, cheers!

Still a very fun car! My buddy has a 2.5L Mazda3 Sport. Great car. He tossed a short through shifter plate on it and now he loves it even more!

Ha, ya, great shot! That's Alberta for you. Dirty the second you drive out of the wash bay.

What do you shoot with, if I may ask?

Victorious Secret > POD

T1i with a 50mm f/1.4

That's a very nice lens!

I shoot Canon as well. If you ever want to try out the 135mm f/2 or the 24mm f/1.4 II let me know. We can do an impromptu to car shoot.

Ohh the 24mm tempts me, I'd love to take you up on that. You should also come by Cars and Coffee next saturday.

Hrm, I guess just hunt me down on facebook (Anitesh Jaswal) and we can arrange something that way.

I'm taking a road trip next weekend, possible the weekend after though.

All good, thats when the rest of the group is back. Not sure what you've already seen in the city so far but you'll love it

A bit cool for me in the winter. Have friends in Edmonton and Spruce Grove.

Yea, we usually have a few weeks in the -30c to -40c range each winter. Block heaters are a must.

It's a fine DD but I really miss the Subie LGT wagon that I traded for it. It will hold me over till I can afford another sweet wagon.

That certainly beats the three days of -40 I had in Ottawa last winter (after living in Toronto all my life). Kind of want to see what it would be like to go through several weeks of it.

It involves almost no time outdoors. When I moved to Canada to go to College I was given a Nike ACG Summit Coat, the kind with a fur lined hood that closed up so you looked like Kenny from South Park. It was sort of a joke gift from the family, however I usually end up using it (12 years later) at least a few times per year.

Typically you dress for it, make sure the car is plugged in overnight, and give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes in the morning to let the car warm up. It's not awful, but it certainly isn't what I'd call fun. Winter tires are also a must.

My co-worker picked up a used S4 V8 wagon with a standard transmission for a very reasonable price. If I could find one of those I'd be a very happy camper!

Hot Hatch/Wagons are my favorite segment of vehicles. Tones of fun and holds everything you want to bring with you.

For sure on the car preparations. The last thing you want is to be stranded in that weather.

For Christmas I got a Canadian Forces parka. It has served me very well on the "my balls are going to freeze together" days.

The no outdoors advice sounds solid as well. The online map for my university has two choices for directions: quickest route, and warmest route.

The warmest rout is brilliant!

They are rare but tempting however after being burned with a maintenance money pit with the Subie I think I will hold out for something newer. Im saving my monies with the goal of picking up a V60 R-design down the road.

POD > Tom McParland

Great choice! My Dad got a used S60 (2011 I think) loaded T5 at auction. It give my Speed3 a very strong run for it's money. If I catch the wrong gear, he'll get away. A 2011 V60 R would be a wicked wagon to have.

Got it last week and still looking for more excuses to drive her at every waking moment!!!

POD > MUGENJIBZ

Awesome! Great car, the REX is an excellent year round hot hatch!

Got any plans for her?

desertdog5051 > POD

I believe I recall seeing electrical outlets near parking spots for people to plug in while they shop. True?

MUGENJIBZ > POD
08/03/2013 at 16:26

The car has 400 miles on it and I am about to order my Cobb AP and SF intake -_-

POD > desertdog5051
08/03/2013 at 16:26

Yup, they are all over. Almost every parking lot, most businesses, the International Airport, etc.. Having a block heater installed in the car is typically part of PDI up here. Usually the businesses/parking lots have the outlets on a 15 minuet on/off cycle to save power to to reduce the risk of the car catching on fire. Because, unfortunately, it happens.

Kinja'd!!!

That is often due to the cord being damaged and not from the actual heater, but still.

Nice! I ordered a Corksport SRI with heat shield and Turbo Inlet pipe for my MS3 with similar mileage. I've been going the weight reduction route ever since. It's hard to leave these turbo hatches alone once you get them.

I know almost every Harley sold comes with plug ins for things like heated gloves, jackets, etc.

MUGENJIBZ > POD

Agreed. My car is a lease so I don't plan to go to crazy with it...just want to access some of the hidden potential!

Any excuse to post pictures of my car is a good one. Nice choice on the Speed3 by the way.

Thanks! I've been loving the Speed3 so far.

I really like the Gen 1 in blue, looks great on that car. There is a local Gen 1 owner that has done a lot of work on his. I'm trying to find the youtube video of it, but can't seem to locate it right now. He did a total engine rebuild. It was quite the project.

EDIT:

Found them.

I got passed by this guy on the freeway. Other than being able to see a large FMIC behind the front bumper, and a slightly lower than stock ride height, his car looks bone stock. It is a very nice little sleeper. He is putting a lot of power through the front wheels, but I'm sure it's manageable.

SP23 > POD
08/26/2013 at 12:08

That's pretty crazy, I think I'd be satisfied with the stock power of the Speed, but keep the car looking like it does. It'd be sleeperish enough for me then. I'm seriously considering getting a 2014 3.

I've been reading some really good things about the 2014. I'd love to drive one when they come out.
