Tinted
For the first time in my life, I own a car that has real wheels and not plastic hubcaps. And while I did not get everything I wanted, like a parachute eject or turbo serenity overdrive with all-wheel noetic suspension, as I needed to quickly bail out of the ailing Honda, my 2005 Mazda3 hatchback did come with a sweet tint job. Laugh if you must. I figured I could endure the tint for a while, ironically of course, my mock So Cal gangster ride, but then something unexpected happened: I fell in love with it. Tint absolutely rules, especially when you have light squeamish vampire allergy eyes like mine. So the tint stays, and unironically so. But I might grow a mustache.
Update: Do to popular request, here is a picture of “el cholo.”
Like you didn’t have a camera ready… Your adoring public wants photos of you in this thing. Idlewild soundtrack optional.
Yeah, where’s the pics?
Well, uh… hmmm…. Mazda3 hatchback? I’ve never heard of this car. Was this some kind of consumer reports supercar? love the tint – keeps it cooler in summer too
I hate to break it to you, but that’s no SoCal ride… It would have to be a Honda and you would have to be Asian. If it were a true cholo-mobile, it’d be a classic car. That said, I’m still totally jealous and definitely sweat your car. And what I wouldn’t do for some tints on my commute home!
p.s. you should fancy-up the taillights and maybe get some ground fx.
