Spray

A little primer and white spray paint would work wonders!

Ok even if my car is dented to the bone... oh wait since when do I care about looks? Hmmmmm but its DUCT TAPE D:!

After looking at this picture again, I'm surprised that no one else has commented on how freaking clean your garage is.

What is your secret?

I don't know what this is. The mazda is a nice solid, relatively cheap car, it's got a 2.0l 4 cylinder but unfortunately it's an automatic. It weighs a ton ,#4000 pounds, so it does not have the best acceleration in the world thus the crappy EPA numbers. It's suppose to have a CDA of .33 which I think is good for a pre 2000 sedan.
