Nice ride. Almost too new for a Dent?

My oldest boy sold the Toyota Tercel and bought himself this 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback.

Nice.  Other than rust issues, these are fantastic cars.  Any rust on this one?

Arthur, that should be a great car for him.

Boosted it at the Click and Collect.

The Highlander has been sitting a bunch. And this battery has been run down a few times.

I'll probably just replace it with one from Costco.

I had to go boost my BIL's 4-Runner in the Lowes parking lot the other day.  He left his wife and kids in the truck listening to the radio while he grabbed supplies.  I guess they ran the battery down.  I took the Civic to boost him.  I joked with him that I used sh!tcar to boost his nice 4-Runner.

It is rather new and fancy. The oldest boy does not share my affinity for the character filled crap boxes apparently. The middle wants a Fiero so there is hope. For some reason he like A/C, power locks, not leaking oil, that sort of thing. I don't understand.

Fiero. Solid choice. Later years as those are the ones that do not combust.

Mazda3 is a great choice for your son!

Gave the Enclave it's first waxing.  Prior to waxing I treated it with Autoglym Magma and I was shocked to see how much iron oxide was on the paint. 

Wax on, wax off...very therapeutic.  Happy that our DD's are finally cleaned up after a messy winter. :)

Looking good. Haven't seen many of those current generation Enclaves around, I like the styling.

Looking sharp, good work!  I saw a new, white Enclave at Costco yesterday and thought it looked great in person.  I definitely like this generation the best.

For some reason I thought you were getting rid of the Jag?

I'm putting it on the market but i figured I better get it out and cleaned up before I did.

Uncommon color and it suits that Jag really well. Curious why you're getting rid of it so quickly?
