Let’s Ogle Matt’s New Car

I can’t resist! Here are pictures of my new car. It’s my first ever new car and I love it. It’s a Titanium Gray Mazda3, it’s fast and nimble and fun. And a manual, of course.

Here I am going, “Check it out! There’s a snazzy looking car behind me!” Or possibly, “Did I touch it? Oh my gosh, is that a fingerprint?”

I really love the instrument cluster. The new Honda Accord is weird and annoying with its split display and digital speedometer. I love the look of the Mazda instruments at night. This picture shows a bit more blue than it has in real life, but it was difficult to take such a low-light picture to look exactly right. Note that 0MPH is at 6 o’clock, and 60MPH is very close at 9 o’clock. Psychologically, that makes it really easy to speed without realizing it. And yes, the mileage does read 425 miles total.
