Question my baby was called a MAZDA..

i took my lugs to get retightened at the tire shop (could have done it myself but i'd rather let them do everything so if anything happens i can blame it on them).

the damn service guy called my car the white mazda



this is coming from a guy that works on cars all day long. my jaw literally dropped. the other service rep was like, you mean the "s2000"?

maybe because there was a rx8 parked next to me but it wasnt white!

It could be that it was just an accident, a slip of the tongue. That does happen from time to time.

i'd hope so.

after the service rep was corrected by his coworker, he seemed to feel a little stupid.

i had my wheels and tires mounted and balanced there. they said to come back so they could retorque (retighten) the lug nuts because new metal stretches after some driving.

could have done it myself but i'd rather leave the liability on them in case anything happens in the near future. thats why i went back.
