New to Protege, familiar with Mazda

[93blackfd]

Just wanted to say Hi. I just picked up a 16K mile 2002 Midnight Blue Protege5 as my daily driver/parts hauler/winter car and love it!

I had, and loved, a 323 GTX (AWD, turbo) in college after growing up with many family Mazda's. My 93 RX-7 is my track car and baby so I thought another Mazda for daily use was only appropriate. Plus, I'm sure when (not if) the RX-7 is broken the Protege will serve me just fine at autocrosses or open track days.

I am an engineer for an automotive supplier working on ABS and stability control. I'd be happy to try to answer any brake/vehicle dynamics questions from a manufacturer's point of view in return for the help I know the forums can give when things go wrong.

Thanks,
Alex

hey Alex, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. (stash)

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!! (stash)


oh btw...were you the guy that girl was talking about in the Cheech and Chong movie when they were in the back of the van and she was talking to tommy chong and he got that cramp in his leg?
