Hi All,
Well, on a whim last night I went and bought a new 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege in Spicy Orange. I had a 2001 Nissan Sentra but their service department pissed me off so bad that I told them I was ditching the Nissan that very day and would never give them business again. It was between a WRX and the MSP and I chose the MSP because of how good all the mags have rated it plus the "limited edition" thing trips my trigger. I love the looks too and because I'm 6'8" tall I have plenty of headroom in this car.
I can't wait until the go fast goodies start coming out too....this thing runs such low boost that there's plenty of room to gain serious power.
Since I'm a noob on this forum and will be here all the time now I'll give a brief intro for anybody who's interested. I'm 32 years old work for an internet tech company here in North Carolina. I'm a motorcycle freak and my most recent purchase is a 2003 Yamaha R6. Previously I had an Aprilia Mille and a Yamaha V-Star....I keep the Aprilia Scooter around for commuting cuz it gets 100 mpg and keeps up with traffic well. I'm close to VIR (Virginia International Raceway) so I like to take my bikes there for track days and will be looking to run my new MSP there too. I love watching NBA basketball and any motorsport that doesn't involve going in endless circles (ahem...NASCAR)....my faves are MotoGP, AMA Superbike, World Superbike, World Rally, F1, and CART. I have an adorable wife who loves fast cars but HATES bikes so she just lets me do my own thing on that tip (heh heh). Well, that's me....thanks!
