I saw this on my way home from class this morning. Yes, it's beautiful and I would love to own it, but as a work truck it would be terribly expensive to drive.

The stacks are 8"-10" so there's very little back pressure, which expels unburned fuel through the valves. Judging by the hood style & headlights, it's an early 2000's truck, so I'm 99% sure it has a Cat C11 or C13 in it, so he's getting 5-7 mpg anyway. He's pulling a split axle, steel flatbed with an Areo Conestoga system, which is heavy as shit, so he can't carry a lot of heavy (or oversized) loads. The truck also gets washed at least once a week, so unless he's doing it himself Blue Beacon is charging him $80-$100 per wash. His rear axle fenders are expensive to replace if he has a blowout, plus they're heavy.


But.. at the end of the day, that is a sexy truck. And I'm very jealous.

I do not think I have ever posted my car besides the tail lights and the damage front getting hit.












I cannot wait until my tires need to be replaced. Once that happens 18" black chrome 5 spoke rims are getting put on.

I like the blacked out look. I was going to suggest black rims and then I scrolled down some more lol

damn you and your palm trees and warm weather

That is a sharp looking car, I don't recall ever seeing a 4-door of that. I've seen that smaller one with the suicide rear door. What did you use to murder out the decals?

I have not had the chance to replace the rims yet because the tread was practically new when I bought the car. I really want the 03-05 Mazda RX8 rims and get them black chromed but that will be at least $1250 and I am not up for that. The headlights were replaced last weekend with a pair that looked stock but with the unpainted black interior so they match my taillights interior.

Weather is getting cooler by the day. Soon we will not even be hitting 80.

It is a 05 Mazda 6 so there would only be 4 door models. Mine they call a 5 door but it is really a 4 door with a hatch which was very hard to find down here. I found this one up in Ohio and drove it back to Florida.

As for blacking out the decals I used primer and paint on the flying Ms before I found out about Plasti Dip which is be bought at Home Depot. It is a spray rubber so all you need to do is mask around the logo so that over spray does not get everywhere and let it dry for about 30 minutes and when you remove the masking you can peel the rubber on the paint off and you are left with black emblems. I need to do this to my front flying M as it has chipped in a few places since it was painted.

The rubber holds up pretty good. There are a few places that need touched up but I have not gotten around to it. It is mostly the sharp corners where they get worn from washing.

I have been thinking about using the Plasti Dip on my rims but that would require a lot of time which I do not want to waste.

just wanted to show off where the magic happens, and some of the magic

I thought I would post updated picture of my Geckos. Just the babies. The pictures are from oldest to youngest.



















Taking these pictures I almost lost a few of them. They were very hyper and took many leaps of faith to any direction.
