Re: Mazda 3 wheel bearing!

Ugh.. well as much as I wanted to do this myself and save some money.. I no longer have access to a press, and since the wheel can wobble a good 3/8 inch either way, I'm just going to go to the mechanic tomorrow :/.

Thanks guys for you input! I appreciate it!

Re: Ont. premier uses Facebook to 'dialogue' with young drivers

The fines are way too steep for simple driving violations. eg: If your under 21 and your caught speeding even like 5-10kmh over, your license is taken for 30 days. :-X

Re: GTO or M3 (E46)

on topic: I'd probably go M3.

off topic: I think I owned by a M3 the other day. If he didnt accerlate so fast, i might have seen what it was. What i did see was "E" something and AMS(something like that)
