    For those that don't know, the word wheel is an old school term for a rotary buffer. It can be used generically to imply any machine buffer.

    If you ever hear someone say,

    I'm going to wheel my car


    That means they're going to buff it out.

    Thanks Mike!

    I need to add some pics with my DSLR so the "real" color of the car pops in the photos!

    I think I said wheel cause I am older guy (41 this weekend) and I was a porter at a dealership bodyshop back in the day! Old habits die hard!

    Yeah Derek, use that fancy ass camera and let everyone see what that color REALLY looks like! I must tell everyone this, unless you've seen this color up close and personal, you have no idea how good it looks in person, stunning!

    Had a 2005 Mazda 3. Loved the car but paint was very poor. Rust around the rear wheel wells after just three years and I've seen this on several older mazdas 3s that I've worked on. Hope it has improved. Beautiful car.
    In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

    Very underrated, I seem to follow that kinda car company of late. First a Saab 9-3 and now my MS3. Most people didn't give my Saab a second glance but that thing was a hoot to drive. Helped that I had a tune, exhaust intake and downpipe on it! I recently went to a local "tuner" meet and it seemed if you weren't driving a Subaru or RHD drive Nissan no one really looked at your car, ha!
