I had an appt last night over by GR, so afterwards, about 6:00 with daylight still left, I drove another 5 minutes to Borgman Ford-Mazda. I'd checked their inventory online earlier in the day and it said they had about 20 6's in stock, in pretty much every color except the Sepang Green.
So anyway, I go over there because I STILL cannot decide what color I want and I want to see them all together to compare, etc. Well - almost every car that did NOT have the Sport Package had butt-ugly PINSTRIPES going down the sides. Can you say YUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK?!?! All the Sport Package models (Lapis Blue, Yellow, Steel Gray, Silver) did not have those ugly things, but all the non-sports did. Did they come that way from Mazda, or did the dealer put them on for some unknown, STUPID reason?? Those pinstrips just RUINED the look of the entire car.
Also - I STILL cannot decide on color. But let me tell you - that Speed Yellow looked mighty nice. I was pretty much against the color before, but after seeing it in person, I am seriously considering it. I was still not impressed with the Redfire - still looked too "burgundyish", although it WAS a tad dirty/dusty, and it was not full sunlight out to really see the color good. Still want a good clear look at the Redfire in sunlight, and I have yet to see a decked-out White in person. So right now it's between Redfire, White, Steel Gray and the Yellow. <sigh> Sure wish I could get this most basic of decisions made.
But back to the topic of the post...what the hell was up with those PINSTRIPES?!?
