Off topic so I posted here.

I bit the bullet and got rid of my gas sucking 2001 Pathfinder for a 2010 Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring AWD. I almost bought a Honda CRV but at the last minute my wife and I decided to test drive the Mazda and we're glad we did. This thing has everything, including the butt warming seats.

Once I get back from my biz trip this week, I hope to get some shots of it before the wife puts road rash on the 19" rims. It's a sweet ride and goes well with the rest of the Mazda family in my driveway.

Stay tuned for pics.

Nice looking ride, Steve. What color? Sat. I took my 18y/o son used car, tire kicking(shopping). His eyes were focused on Pontiac GPs and other hot rods. Dad's were focused on practical (read, boring) transportation. We'll find him something. Anyone on the board, in the Chicago area, selling a used car? Any suggestions?

The wife took it out today and said she parked it away from every other car. I said the walk was a good cardio workout.

Steve,
You need to chuck the 40d and the 70-200 and shoot exclusively with your iPhone. :rolleyes: LOL

Only if I upgrade to the iPhone 3G s. Then I can shoot video too.

By day I am a Tech at a Mazda dealer, and the CX-7's are rock solid vehicles. I would own one in a heartbeat.

Steve B,

Good to know. Now I know who to call if I have problems with any my Mazdas.:D

I'm still dealing with what seems fuel starvation on my Speed6 at 2500-3000RPM. Reflashed a number of times, new plugs and still it's cutting out. PM me if you have any ideas. The dealer is out of ideas for now.
