I know its been a long time since i posted here and i've met some cool people here. I been to a few G2G's and its been very interesting. MANY a times I try to coax people into coming to SCCA to race, a few showed, some actually raced, and we all had fun in the end. But now that's all changed since Sunday...my car is up for sale.

Yup my Protege'5 has done wonders in the racing world, she just won her last runoff championship in March and I couldn't be happier, good times! But yup she's up for sale now and she's not gonna race again...

But i know most of all EFREN is gonna freak, and Cori is gonna be pissed too but I HAD TO DO IT!! I just had to...

Now why am i hanging out here still???....THIS IS WHY BELOW (wow)

Yup that's my new BABY!! I always loved the 3 ever since its release, and I got a DAMN good deal on it too considering the Mazda factory fire and all.

And NO IM NOT racing her!! Honestly.....you don't believe do you.....
Hmm....maybe just once............hmmm.......... (glare)

Nope....not this time. Last time was ALL GO, now its time for ALL SHOW.

I'll be peeking in here from time to time to get some ideas and find places that would benefit me. Again im a poor ass guy so im going for the "budget show" clean look and see where I can go.

So ill be sticking around still, hope to meet more of you guys at any G2G's!!

Till then,
Peace!!!

i think your pro5 is better then the m3.

Hmmm in some ways I'd like to think so, people underestimated me in Solo II and the Pro5 just kicked a$$ and took names.

Although...after driving the 3 I'm a serious believer that it IS better than the Protege'5 in every way and it is truly worthy to be its successor.

Everything from looks, power, handling I am seriously impressed on the improvements. Well...the handling doesn't seem as tight as the pro5, it feels a little cushy, but i've only been driving it a week. We'll see how she performs after her first race. (second)
 
say what! my brother-in-law that works at cutter mazda(tech) at ala moana said thats the wrong move.its all good though main thing you keep wining. i havent been out to solo2 for awhile since my wife gave to my daughter.main thing its a mazda.hehe-Efren
 
Dang the legacy of your Pro5 is coming to an end :(
My friend just started autocrossing and he said that you're awesome with the Pro5. He drives the white integra with the cf hood and lip.

I can't wait to see what the 3 can do on the autocross!
 
nice new car :)
glad to see u sticking with the mazda family

peace

WRONG MOVE!!?? WHAT!? *Puts car for sale in the Previews* Nah nah, in what way does he mean...

Don't get me wrong, i FOOOKIN LOVE/LOVED my Pro5, I know its a freakish move but man I LOVE MY 3 MORE!! Honestly I hated the look of the 3 when it first came out, but i didn't really pay attention to the specs...
But the look grew on me and when i drove it for a tantalus test drive run....*Shhhhhhh*....HOLY CRAP!! The car had 3 people in it, stayed composed,
AND had awsome exit speed *oh crap im getting race technical* I fell in love....

OH BUT EFREN.....efren efren efren...buddy, this car not for GO this time....

****Well actually im racing it this SUNDAY to see how it is, and then I gotta race it ONE more time to qualify for the MazdaSpeed Motorsport Sponsorship. :) ****

Nonononononono.....NOW...................................
THIS CAR IS FOR SHOW!!!!!!! (headbang)

Well not seriously anyway...I got some MAD IDEAS and lets see what I can come up with, im still scared of YOU GUYS kicking ass in the MAZDA division in the shows!!!! HAHA! (bowdown)

In any case Ill hang around here still, but im gonna take an active role in mazda3forums.com, see if i can build that place up.

Well thats it, SEE YA GUYS ON THE TRACK!!!!

Well hey, tell your friend I said thanks for the compliment!! I believe i've seen him there.

Well if you come SUNDAY June 5th you'll get to see the 3 run in its paper plates!! *Its tradition, ran with paper plates for 3 different new cars*
UNFORTUNATELY it belongs in another class from the PRO5. I know itll do well but meeeebeeeeeee not as well as my Pro5 :P She's still the CHAMP!!
