The story of my 1990 Mazda MX6 N/A

Just two months ago I got my first job and shortly after I got my license, but at that time I hadn't saved up any money for a car. My dreams were high, hoping for a supra or something real sporty. I rode the bus home and when I walked through the door my mom told me my brother had something to tell me. I walked into the bedroom and he said his friend was selling a car for 500.00 bucks. I guess this kid was desperate to get rid of it, he came over, showed it to me, and took me and my mom for a test drive. A couple days later my mom and I bought it. Since then I have planned out quite a few things that I want to do to it. The CV Boot went out and i'll be replacing that this weekend. It needs a paintjob and rims, but it's my baby... I love her!

She has a few bumps and bruises but she runs strong and purrs deep. The hood was spray painted black to cover up swastikas painted on it from some damn vandals. The roof is sun-burnt and the door seal is ripped because it was broken into. My dad works at Kimball's Autobody, he paints cars and works auto body. Hopefully some time this summer we are going to slap some paint on her and put some white rims on there.

Since May 24, 2007 I have put these parts into/on her:
460w amp
10" sony explod subwoofer
2 sony explod speakers
White off brand shift knob
Black shift boot
Whistler Pro 58 Radar Detector /w power switch
4" Fireball Muffler
Replaced passenger side CV boot
Replaced tires w/ semi-low profile

4" Fireball Muffler (it raining...):

Makeshift welding:

It looks kind of weak but its on there real good, also the silencer is still in there and it purrs pretty deep. Ill video it later.
