Oh that new car smell...nothing really beats it. Finally gave in to the new car fever, and now find myself as the proud owner of a 2008 MazdaSpeed 3. Guys and new cars, we're all suckers.

After that, the weekend pretty much revolved around the car. Spent most of Saturday trapped down at AudioCar having tint and some other fun toys installed. They came highly recommended from the dealership, and overall I was impressed with the quality of service provided. Would have been a hell of a lot quicker getting in and out had TomTom not failed me!

Unfortunately all the time out in the sun waiting for the tint meant I was going to be late for Scott's BBQ/Birthday Bash - better late then never. Always a fun time hanging out with the guys, and a bonus getting to hang out with friends who have since moved out of my life.

Took advantage of the long weekend, and navigated north along the coast to check out some of the Labor Day beach action. Managed to actually make it out to the beach once again during the day...next time I'll have to bring Cassy with me, she's always a crowd pleaser.

Later on we had a small BBQ at the house to wrap up the weekend. Ben, Dustin and Luke whipped us up an amazing meal, with Cat providing some awesome cookies! Time to make use of the grill while the weather still rocks out here (And by rocks I mean so hot and miserable that it brings Air Conditioners to their knees).
