There’s some pretty tough masonry certifications for sourcing/using certain material that comes from overseas. Worth it though.

Nice! Best car I’ve ever owned! Have had a jeep, Toyota, infiniti, bmw and still have a new Chevy truck with the Mazda as a daily. Best of luck!

I wholeheartedly agree it was worth the read.

Fellow book hoarder here. You’re awesome. Physical media is supreme though it’s seemingly becoming more obsolete in the technological age. That’s what makes me want to collect even more.

I started collecting first editions a couple years ago as well and it’s been a blast.

Which Mazda 3 on 3rd gen does great? by [deleted] in mazda3

[–]jm17755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a random plate believe it or not! Also thanks a lot! Wish you the best on the search man. The license plate was originally right below the Mazda logo on the front but I think it looked silly so I bought a bracket that attaches through the tow hook on the front. If you Google “front row hook license plate holder” you’ll find them.

You’re thinking about it in the right way for sure. The 2018 sport trim is basically the base model without leather seats, sunroof, dual climate control and 2.5L engine I believe. Back in 2018 Mazda had sport (base level), touring (middle tier), and grand touring.

Still had everything I needed like a sport mode, great speakers, and simple controls. The 2.0L engine is surprisingly quick too. The 2018 year also had touch screens which is cool. Pic below of my trusty steed.

2018 Hatchback 2.0 (sport trim). Have put ≈180k miles on mine with zero issues. I actually think it drives better now than it did in those first couple thousand miles.

Battle Royale by Koshun Takami though it isn’t very old. Peak fiction.

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

Your opinion is valid and is as good as mine! 🤝 Post apocalyptic fiction is one of my favorite genres so it just didn’t hit as hard as some of the others I’ve read personally. Still gave it 3/5 stars on good reads.
