My memory may been a bit fuzzy, but I am pretty sure this is exactly how it happened.
Yesterday, in the torrential rain that has been plaguing us the last few days, I battled my way across Sydney to pick up my new car. I watched as lesser vehicles were consumed by the fury of mother nature. Hyundai Exels washed down the gutters, Camrys floated upside-down around roundabouts and I even witnessed a couple of Kias being sucked into the deeper puddles by monstrous creatures of the depths. As I pulled up to the dealer, the clouds dissipated and a single ray of light split through the sky and lit up my new ride in a holy glow. It was as if the gods themselves delivered this vehicle!
What you are looking at is my brand new Mazda 3 MPS Luxury in Aluminum! (it had started raining again by the time I got home hence the wet photos. I did get to test her out in the dry for about an hour after I left the dealer)
She's a 6 speed manual, with an inline 4 cyl 2.3L turbo inter-cooled engine, pumping out 190kW @ 5500 rpm and 380Nm @ 3000 rpm. The power is intense, with almost no noticeable lag. Torque steer is noticeable in the wet, but goddamn it makes it fun to drive
I've already begun think about customization, so I'm pretty sure many mods are sure to be on the way!
Here's one more pic for good measure!
Oh yeah, just because I no longer have a CJ
doesn't mean that I won't be sticking my head in every few weeks, or coming along to cruises.
EDIT: oh yeah, good work to bd-850 & bye2u for guessing the silhouette!
