Introduce Yourself and Your Car
”Hi, I’m Brandon and this is my 2012 Mazda Mazdaspeed 3. I have owned this car for a little more than 2 years now and every day since then has been an exciting adventure. Both good and bad. Starting from a rough running, beat up shell, and losing 2nd gear on the way home from buying it to everything it has become now. I wouldn’t change a thing”

Why Did You Pick Your Car?
”I have always been a fan of hatchbacks so I knew that’s what I wanted. I remember I had it narrowed down between the mazdaspeed3 and a focus ST, but what pushed me to the mazdaspeed3 was the more raw driving experience and the fact you don’t really see them anymore”

What/Who Got You Into Cars?
”I think like most people my age watching The Fast and The Furious growing up is what began my love for cars. Ever since then I was always in the garage helping my dad with whatever he was doing”
What Are Your Future Plans With The Car?
”As far as looks I would say the car is probably in it’s final form. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. For power I currently have externally gated big turbo and exhaust manifold waiting to go on”

Any Advice For Those Wanting To Get Into The Car Scene?
”For anyone wanting to get in the car scene my best advice is to be yourself. Do things to your car that YOU want to do. You don’t have to follow trends. Talk to other enthusiasts, make new friends, support local photographers, all these things are what makes the car community great”
