well i no longer have a 7. it caught fire today and is now a loss. the engine is melted. :-( there apparently was a fuel leak and the heat of the engine caught it on fire and it went boom.

That's terrible. =( Folks, I don't care if you think it's rice or not, BUY a fire extinguisher and keep it handy. Because you'll never know when you need one... Sorry to hear about the fire. =(

Until all but the very last one of any particular make and model is left. That very last car, can't be replaced.

Keep the car and put a new engine it.

COMPLAIN TO MAZDA!

MY ******* car did that a few months ago but luckily I caught it before it turned into anthing serious. Sealed up the PD and that was the end of that problem.

(PS - don't tell then you tried the 'airpump mod' )

You miss his arrogant attitude. And BTW, calling a truly arrogant person arrogant is a compliment. Only a conceited person would be insulted if you called him arrogant.

On another note, use the money from parting out this one to buy another 7. Don't abandon us, even for a little while.
