First of all, the highlights:
My friend Tiffany’s 2004 Mazda6 i. 2.3 5-speed. 361,000 miles as of today. All original except for a few odds and ends maintenance items, and a few clutches. No rust, not even in the fender wells or the trunk. Driven every day (obviously). Going in for new headlights and a repaint soon.
The blue 2016 6 to the right of the orange 2004 is not mine. It’s a virtual twin, though. Recently bought.
My friend’s MazdaSpeed 3. She and her friend drove up there with me.
2007 Mazda6 i.
Twin NC Miatas!
The other Speed 3 I cruised up there with. This one and the black one are both owned by mid-20s ladies with more knowledge about cars than any guy I’ve ever met.
Yes, that is a Corvette engine.
My sexy beast of a car. With the sunshade up because it was 87 million degrees today.
A 2014 3 sedan with an OEM Mazda stereo like mine. The owner hacked the stereo to be able to play movies via the center console’s USB port. She said it was very, very difficult but it works flawlessly now!
The orange cones weren’t because of us being pretentious. The park put them up for us once they knew we were a car club. I found that nice. People still tried to park all around us all day long even though we only took up a desolate corner of an already giant parking lot, but oh well.
The rest of the pictures I took can be found at the link below:

Those might be the most fogged headlights I've ever seen. The paint doesn't look terrible though.

Yeah. 12 years of nearly 31,000 miles a year has taken its toll.

No, but I believe I saw that car at Import Alliance.

You got me there.
Kind of cool to see a car meet composed of actual regular cars.

I saw it at the European Experience in Savannah, so he/she apparently gets around. I can’t really hate it. I hate the chrome graphics, but the rest...it’s a midsize sedan, he/she made it different.

We normally meet up and go for cruises. There are a ton of abandoned backcountry twisty roads in Kentucky. Makes for fun times. I haven't taken the 6 on them, yet, but my 3 was an absolute blast.

I’ve water a Speed6 for awhile now. Pretty much since I first heard of them but they scare me a bit. Not because of the car, but because of the condition most used ones seem to be in.

I’m sure heat, and sun don't help those headlights either.

Man the speed3 has not aged well. Ugly car...and I owned one for 3 years.

Does that Mazda Mazda6 really need new headlights? There are kits to restore the look of the headlight. It just needs a bit of buffing really.
New headlights are expensive. And even if you try to restore the existing ones and fail - you’re back to buying new ones anyway. Win win!
Is that an aftermarket Furai style grill!?

Yeah it has also spent all twelve years of its life parked outside, too.

Thank you! It’s called “Deep Crystal Blue Metallic.”

I think she's going to try and restore them but if not then she'll get new ones.

Most are really beat up. :( There are a few babied ones out there, but they’re few and far between.

There were several RX-8s and we had this on the table:
If you click the link at the bottom, you’ll see the RX-8s that were there.
