Cool OMG...we bought a rice rocket
Wife wanted a new car...

requirements were:

1. Manual transmission
2. Something "fun" to drive
2. Somewhat practicable

Picked up a 2011, Mazdaspeed 3. Fun little car to drive around. Pretty hard to find right now too...We apparently bought the last one in MD. Three of our four vehicles are now turbocharged
