I can\u2019t deny that it gets my heart pumping a little bit when I see a Speed3, but that\u2019s merely because I have a preference for them and the \u201czoom-zoom\u201d effect.<\/p>\n<p>What keeps me looking is that I don\u2019t always see Mazdas of what I\u2019ll call the \u201cproper persuasion\u201d. It may just be a Pacific Northwest thing, but there are a lot of sexy performance cars roaming the streets disguised as family vehicles. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, a family car is always necessary, but after seeing what the enthusiasts are capable of, I get a little disappointed when I don\u2019t see a CorkSport branded vehicle behind every Mazda emblem.<\/p>\n<p>Over Labor Day weekend I was driving home from camping and having a conversation with a fellow car enthusiast (he\u2019s into Mitsubishis, yuck) about how often we see cars \u201crepping\u201d their favorite performance brand. He was actually doing a great job of making me defensive, saying that he\u2019d never seen a good looking performance Mazda. He said it was a rare occurrence out here to see a clean\/stance one and then for it to also be repping CorkSport, \u201clike seeking unicorn\u2019s\u201d. I was disagreeing with all that I had, and yes I mean that in reference to volume control.<\/p>\n<p>We were in a deep, what I\u2019ll refer to as an, \u201celevated and passionate\u201d conversation, when low and behold, there in the lane just left of us, was a tiny 6\u201d decal on the back right of a very clean Speed3 (Gen2). A perfectly pitched screech of \u201cTOLD YOU SO\u201d bellowed from my mouth, followed by a quick cell phone pic and a good long laugh at how \u201cI (Kim) am <i>always<\/i> right, get used to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5208 aligncenter\" alt=\"Bloogggoooo2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bloogggoooo2.jpg\" width=\"362\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bloogggoooo2.jpg 362w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bloogggoooo2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5207 aligncenter\" alt=\"Bloogggoooo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bloogggoooo.jpg\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bloogggoooo.jpg 728w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bloogggoooo-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bloogggoooo-500x331.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since then, we have found and rewarded the owner of this beautiful beast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10151905810739257&amp;set=a.317272679256.181853.126409094256&amp;type=1&amp;theater\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10151905810739257&amp;set=a.317272679256.181853.126409094256&amp;type=1&amp;theater<\/a>, but it got a great conversation going in the office of \u201cwhere is the best spot to place a decal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, this is the question I pose to you, our readers:\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWhere do you think is the perfect spot to rep your favorite performance brand?\u201d I prefer them to go along with the elegant lines of the car, but others say that having them stand against those brings a slick look as well.
