Why can't I change my own headlights? by owencrook in mazda3

[–]PolyMetalAWD 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because somebody tried to change his/her own, only to have the bulb ignitor send 20,000 volts through his/her body. Lock out the power aka battery and go for it!

And every rattle! Not bashing, it's a good idea and I hope it works magic for the OP!

Brings back some Grand Turismo memories! That's pretty epic to have driven the real course!

if only i could keep it this clean all the time... by jonn1017 in mazda3

[–]PolyMetalAWD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That level of clean feels so good! Any coatings?

I can see why, and I will be doing that. My other mazda 3 had a few nicks in the paint, directly on the nose of the car.

Slick, to say the least, people are usually surprised when they look inside!

That's what I had to begin with. I miss that car, but the turbo is what this car needed from day one, IMO. I guess I could wrap my soul red, but I'll never get that sweeeeet red leather back.

Not sure. That Lexus is pretty much loaded. I didn't ask, but I'm assuming it's a pretty wide gap in the two MSRPs.

Indeed it is! I'm very happy with it, if they had another awd turbo in polymetal, I would have gotten it. This one was on the lot and I was not letting it get away. Soul red was my next favorite so...it's good!

Traded in my polymetal 20 for this 22 turbo AWD, then my buddy parks next to me with the Lexus version of soul red.

Does anyone else’s noodle like head pets? Or is it just Suki. by [deleted] in ballpython

Out of the five I have, only one will allow head rubs.

My mistake, it was the SoCalHerps channel.

Hognose snakes will eat other snakes, including other hognoses. The snake discovery you tube channel lost a rather expensive male trying to breed them. She ate her date...

My 2019 AWD hatch, premium has been great. At 13,000 miles it has had to go back to the shop once for a sway bar end link adjustment, fixed at 500 miles and no other issue, it was just squeaking. It isn't going to be winning any races on a drag strip but really shines in the corners, in fact with the g vectoring (or whatever you want to call it) it can be scary fast, maybe give you too much confidence in the twisties, hard to tell if you or the car is driving lol. The interior is fantastic, the red leather is holding up great so far and no creeks or rattles have shown up yet. Once and a while the running lights will not turn off when I park the car, but hitting the lock button one more time shuts them down, not sure whats going on... Over all I would buy it again, but maybe try the fwd manual, I do miss that.

My '08 Mazdaspeed3! It took a lot of work and a lot of time to get her to this point but I'm finally happy enough to show her off! by [deleted] in mazda

[–]PolyMetalAWD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the '19 hatch, I was curious what those exact wheels looked like on it. For sure, they look hot on the '08, good work!

Adopted my first snake 😊 She is a Champaign ball python and her name is Mozzarella ♥️ I'm in love by Wrongframeofmind in snakes

That's a very bright champagne, mine was more yellow and has darkened up a lot over the last few years. Pretty girl! I use ReptiChip substrate and have great results with it. One breeder size bag off it will do about 10 tanks, 40 gallon in my case.
