I really like Mazda...the only problem is that the dealership we have here is a little less than reputable... wouldn't want to have to deal with them for service. ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Shapiro Sent: 01/23/14 08:31 AM To: tech-chat Subject: Re: [tech-chat] what technology NOT to buy - a car buying experience
Heh. Bought a 2010 Mazda 3 right off the lot for $16,000. . No cruise control, no automatic windows, no motorized mirrors, no bluetooth phone system, manual transmission, only a radio with a plug for external system. I keep the oil changed and haven't had a lick of trouble with it. Of course, I take care not to, like, drive it often. -- CHS On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 4:52 PM, Allen Beddingfield < [email protected] > wrote:I prefer white cars, just for the fact that lighter colors reflect heat in the summer! My last four vehicles have been white. I owned one black car, and that was a mistake. The slightest bit of dust makes it look super-dirty, and it absorbed heat like a sponge.

My work recently added hi-vis clothing to all the other safety requirements. During the transition I was amazed at how well it works. Not that I am in the market for a new car, but would certainly consider a hi-vis yellow or lime green if I was. -- William _______________________________________________ tech-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxmoose.com/mailman/listinfo/tech-chat -- Allen Beddingfield [email protected] _______________________________________________ tech-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxmoose.com/mailman/listinfo/tech-chat -- Allen Beddingfield [email protected]
