mazda 3

I am so grateful for my car. I have had it over a year now and it has not given me any problems. It is a great charcoal grey color that hides dirt well. It is a stick shift and gives me alot of speed off the line and great control on the road. Not that I speed and would need those kind of perks. Plus it has a sun roof - huge bonus! 

Incase I ever get cocky about how great my car is, my Mazda 3 has a built-in humility feature - manual locks and windows. Seriously, what kind of vehicle has manual locks and windows? Maybe (but probably not in the year 2006) a basic car, but this one has a power sunroof! That is not basic. I bet the original purchaser of this car (I bought it used) had to pay the dealership extra to get a car without those standard features. Bizarre.

Anyhow. I know you on the west coast had not been introduced to my car. So, family meet Sunny, Sunny meet family. They are good people. And yes, I named my car Sunny. I have a long history of naming inanimate objects things like "teddy" my teddy bear, or "sealy" my stuffed animal seal, or "baby doll" take a wild guess. Who would have thought a kid that creative would have grown up to be a graphic designer... sort of. 

Cars in the past have been "the Z" or "the Escape" or the most unorthodox of them all "the white car". Clever right? I swear I am a good creative graphic designer. So this time I decided to make an effort to name the Mazda 3. "Sunny", as in the logo on the steering wheel has some resemblance to a sun - sunny.  Pathetic, I know. While not too creative is also appropriate because this dependable cute car that handles well and gets great gas mileage (30ish mpg) makes me happy. All happy and sunshiny inside.
