<\/a><\/p>\nJoe found himself at a dealership, looking for a Mustang. As fate would have it though, he got the chance to check out a Mazdaspeed 3 instead and something just clicked. After the test drive, and finding out that the deal was just too good to pass up, he sealed the deal. Having owned a Miata previously, he knew Mazda could build an exciting car, even if it the Speed was a little different. Mostly, Joe just enjoyed the fact that his head didn’t stick above the roof!<\/p>\n
With the purchase of his 2011 Black Speed 3 he decided to give modifying a try. Looking for a crisp feel and wanting to remove the excessive engine movement he was experiencing, especially when launching, he purchased the CorkSport Rear Motor Mount Insert<\/a>. Once installed, the mod bug hit hard. Just check out this list:<\/p>\n Performance mods<\/b><\/p>\n -ETS tmic Joe\u2019s most frequent passenger is his girlfriend Elizabeth, who may be a little jealous of the attention his Speed 3 gets, but is always up for the \u201czoom zoom-boost,\u201d as she calls it. \u201cShe loves the car, and there are times you\u2019ll hear her say, \u2018Just go fast\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n Joe hasn\u2019t found himself at many Mazda Meets or events, but he\u2019ll regularly troll through the classic car shows and let the guys gawk at his \u2018OCD Clean\u2019 ride. \u201cThe old guys love it, a big contrast from theirs, but car people appreciate clean, powerful cars\u201d.<\/p>\n You can find Joe and his beauty \u201ccruising the winding back roads of the reservoir; a local spot through the woods with some good twists and turns\u201d, or to and from work as a correctional officer. \u201cInmates look out the window and take notice of any and all changes I make to the ride, or just listen to the sound of it\u2026\u201d he says with a chuckle.<\/p>\n He loves his Pro Tune from Lex @ Stratified, and looks forward to some Work-Emotion Wheels and a possible upgraded turbo next summer.<\/p>\n This is Joe\u2019s first \u2018award\u2019 of any kind, \u201cI love the car and keep it crazy clean, but haven\u2019t really shared it much\u201d. So ladies and gents he\u2019s batting 1.000!<\/p>\n
