Wow, my 2002.5 (5spd) is a week from its first birthday. Last night I went to start it, and nothing. Not a thing. The Mazda roadside plan towtruck couldn't start it. This morning, another towtruck came by and managed to start it by sending some power to the other side of the main...

I don't know why you're flaming me so much. I just gave you links to read, specifically stated that I needed to do further research, and invited you to do the same. I never tried to smear Bush. First, there are a lot of facts in those articles. Second, how do you know that nothing in them...

Actually, I've never heard people praise him like that. I've heard mostly criticism. In fact, I've heard a lot more about Reagan being like Gandhi -- for example lots of people have argued that if it weren't for Reagan, we wouldn't have had the great economy in the 1990s. Now that the economy...

are you talking about Bush or Clinton?! People have gone to great lengths to bash both. Yes, I don't like Bush. That is my opinion. He has not fought for the things I care about most (such as environmental preservation). I am sorry you hate people like me. All I'm doing is voicing my...

Ben, I respect your arguments but don't go soft on me now. The above quote could refer to Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. The Bush family money was not obtained through pure sweat and industry. Clintons' sudden "wealth" is no reason to dislike him. Do you also dislike the way the Bushies hobnobbed...

(scratch) No offense but, ... huh? I'm not sure I understand any of your points. If you are referring to my post, which I'm not really sure you are, then you missed my point. Life is more complicated than a foreign policy built on flexing one's testicles, as Bush has done. In many respects...

Big Ben, I respect a lot of what you have to say, but you are so blinded by apparent hatred of Bill Clinton that I think you are being short-sighted. First, Clinton continued many of the same policies that Bush Senior did, and that Reagan did before him. On Iraq, Bush Sr. too had a chance to...

I've been seeing them on Autotrader as low as $11-12K. Surfing e-Bay is fun too -- quite a few never get bid on with asking prices in the $11-12K range. One 2002 yellow MP5 got sold for $9100. But it was keyed and had a softball-sized dent (not too bad) in the hatch. Still... A few of these...

Sweet Bike. Hope you have happy riding this year! (thumb) --------------------------- (silverp5)

What part does the rust TSB relate to? I have rust on my rotors (normal) and also rust on the hub (and on the little ridge that is adjacent to the rotor. These hub parts do not contact the pads, and the rust stays on. Is that the part that the dealer will fix per the TSB? It does look a...

My 2002.5 had 11 miles at purchase. They had a satellite lot about 5+ miles away and drove it up there. 9 months later, I have 5900 miles. I test drove a different one.

"My Poor P5! Anyone from PA, NJ, or DE " I'm in Washington, D.C. The whole No VA, Maryland area currently has at least a foot and a half of snow at about 5 pm. My p5 is buried on a side street for the indefinite future. But fortunately I can walk anywhere I need -- I live smack in the...

May 21, 2002, 5900 miles.

It's got to be that. I did a google search for it and found it in Estonia (I think) among other places. Looks like the price there is 1,250kr. Latest conversion is about 14 per uS $, so does that make it around $90?!! Another site has it at 170 E (looks like Euro), which is about $175...

Hi Dan, I love my car. For $16k US, it is a great handling car that is much better built than other economy cars. The doors are solid, the steering very nice, the shifter and clutch are good. But if you start adding up a lot of options, I don't know if it is that much better than mid-size...
