Good news and bad news... Good news is that I picked up my new car on tuesday. Bad news is that it's not another Protege5... sorry guys. After test driving the Mazda3 5-Door I fell in love w/ it. It doesn't have the sporty feel that the P5 has, but the build quality and the 160hp grabbed me...

Thanks for the words of encouragement protejay5... I was expecting nothing but negative remarks about my progression to the 3 (I only say this Bcuz I know how loyal I was to my P5 when I had it).

"Once you get that puppy, come to one of our Krispy Kreme meets in Mountain View! :)" I'll be there... I'm sad that I never got to hook up w/ the local P5 group... it would have been great to see what other P5 owners did to their cars. It's a shame that I can no longer be a part of the P5...

Ok, Natey... I have to admit... that was a funny reply (lol) . Including the sue aspect, as well as the Mazda3 treason aspect. I knew that it wouldn't go over well that I was thinking about "replacing" the YlowP5 w/ a, 30% Ford (Yuck!) Mazda3... I'm not all that thrilled that there are going...

How did my post turn into a philosophy argument about sueing other people...? Anyways... just got a call from AAA and I'll be getting a little over $15k for the YlowP5. I'm pretty happy with this (plus I only paid ~$13k for it when I bought it... it was used w/ only 10K miles on it and it...

I just put on 205/45-16's Dunlop FM-901's B4 my car got totalled... see thread: http://msprotege.com/vbb225/showthread.php?t=71378 The tires handled great, and the sidewall height looked good too. I'd go w/ 45's, but if you want to go w/ 50's, it's your choice. BTW... The second # in the...

Ok... that's enough with all the complaining. Like I said B4, I don't blame the other driver... He had a green light and wasn't doing anything wrong by going through the intersection (although I'd think that he'd notice a bright yellow car crossing traffic.) I'm not gonna use this accident as...

Just finished replying to your PM.

GRMYSZM: There were three witnesses that pulled over to testify that the lights were flashing red... so I have others that can confirm my story. ChopstickHero: Yeh, I'm definately thanking God that it wasn't as bad as it could have been. If I was hit on the driver's side with the same impact...

Yeah... I really don't want that car back. When I went to the shop to get a better look at it, I actually saw how much damage was done (I was shocked). I know that if they try and fix it, it will never be the same P5 I had. I'm just gonna have to say goodbye to YlowP5 and move on. As for...

Thanks everyone for the support... I know that It's just a material possession, but I'm still sad about losing my YlowP5. I had become really attached to that car and it was so fun to buy new things for it and think about my next mod. Who knows... they may be able to fix it, but that's not...

I pulled up to a long intersection with flashing red lights. I waited my turn, then proceeded to cross... The lights started working half way through my crossing and gave the drivers perpendicular to me a green light...the next thing I know, I got slammed into by the minivan. If the insurance...

The adjuster from AAA is suppose to call me today... but I talked to the bodyshop yesterday, and they told me that it's totalled. I'm pretty banged up... some bruises, a cracked rib and REALLY sore neck... but I'm just thankfull that my wife wasn't in the passenger's seat.

The other driver left me a gift... his front-end license plate.

Just recently got some custom body work thanks to a Honda minivan. This was NOT the future mod I had on my list. The bodyshop said that they don't think they can repair the damage... so it looks like the YlowP5 is dead. That really makes me sad...

oops... I meant, did you take that pic w/ your PHONE...

Did you take that pic w/ your camera? Looks like it... get a real digi cam so we can see the image at a higher resolution.

Too pathetic to even complain about... But funny.
