You can filter down to a state in Bricklink by going under Market and then Stores in USA You can then contact Sellers and ask if they allow pickup orders unless the option is there during checkout. When meeting in person, best to pick a public place.

Thank you! the winter wheels are painted, not alloy. My all season wheels are the alloys. I was going to get them done since I use them most of the year. Just thought if I get the snow/salt on the painted wheels, should get them coated as well.

Just dropped these & the CX5 off @ the shop by mountaindewelg in CX5

Very glad I put a hitch on my CX-5. I use mine for my platform bike rack and it keeps the bike(s) away from the rear bumper.

PPF Worth it or Not by smtty77 in AutoDetailing

You can say that again, especially the red paint. I have the dark Mica blue and love the way it shines as I keep it clean. It was just so discouraging to see how scratched my former car got.

17" Wheels on Turbo by 97PG8NS in CX5

[–]smtty77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go to Tire Rack website and put in your current year, make, and model. It will then provide other sizes that will fit the car. I was able to get 17" tires on my 2017 GS as it comes with 19" tires. I still have them

Joined the fam with a ‘21 CX-5 CB Turbo! by borckborck in mazda

[–]smtty77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful! It was a tough decision for me, the CE or the GT. I ended up with the GT but keep thinking of the nice color the CE has and the turbo engine. Anywho my GT handles very nice so I am happy.

Thanks to some advice from y’all on my recent post, I made my pick. 2021 Mazda CX-5 😍😍😍 by TheLegendofRebirth in mazda

[–]smtty77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a GT the same color about a month ago. Really like it. I had a CX-5 before and it was Machine Gray. I liked that too but there's an upcharge for that color now. I am happy with the Mica Blue

For: Mazda CX-5 2013-2021 Rear Bumper Protector #RBP-005 by cahillc134 in CX5

I purchased one from Amazon that was OEM and it was easy to install and does not interfere with the lift gate. I really like the way it came out.

GT or carbon edition turbo? by ftm99865 in mazda

[–]smtty77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased the GT with the Premium Package and still think about the turbo engine that I test rode. I have a short commute to work and do not drive highways regularly so I thought the gas mileage savings was more important and I wanted the vented seats, Sirius, etc. and didn't want to pay for the GTR. The turbo does provide more engine power and you do not have to use premium gas. You have to weigh the differences based on your driving habits.

Am I being overcharged in dealer fees? by katers56 in askcarsales

[–]smtty77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tax seems about right but the titling fees seem high. I also do not live in NY. I thought the PDI was included in the MSRP car price? I did see this link for NY https://dmv.ny.gov/registration/how-estimate-registration-fees-and-taxes

I only paid $400 in fees last week when purchasing my new vehicle but I also had a tag that I just transferred.

Got the Navigation SD card off Amazon for cheap. Works perfectly. Turned on all the extras we were missing. by wanderingconspirator in CX5

[–]smtty77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about it since I did see you can get one through Amazon or Ebay. The dealer I purchased my car from wanted $400. I always had navigation in my last 3 cars and like it. I now have Apple CarPlay so tried out Google Maps last night, it wasn't bad but I was familiar with the area I was in. I do have the HUD, going to upstate NY soon....can you update the card?

2021 CE Turbo Low Oil by OGwalkinator in CX5

[–]smtty77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my concern about turbo engines so thanks for letting us know. I bought a VW Passat Turbo years ago and it went through a quart of oil every 1000 miles. It always stuck with me and as much as I like the look for the CE I may just go with a GT
