haha i dirve a '96 protege w/ 160k+ on it and it's booooone stock and i came to a meet one time here in alabama, and it was great, no one really cares for the car being stock, it's all about everyone coming out and enjoying each others company, and if you have something nifty on the car then everyone will gather around and appreciate it, and go back to eating. yeah it gets kind of annoying if there to be a caravan and everyone flies away w/ BOV going off, but it's all good times, strongly recommend you go to a meet near you
