New to the P5

[cable43]

Sweet! That's whut I'm tokkin about. Some boards that I frequent are just completely moronic with their censorship crap. It's like, if you don't the language, or whatever, then go piss up a rope. You'd even get in some serious crap for saying the word (ghey) at some of them. PPFF!!!

look man, we said you can SAY whatever you want..

NOT spell whatever you want!!

Just kiddin-- welcome!!! and don't forget to wipe twice! (yawn)

stock tires get a bad rap but they are actually quite good on roughly paved roads. they just need to get warmed up and they'll stick

Well, I-75 here in FL can be pretty rough. I hydroplaned perfectly fine on my Dunflops right after I got my car on a bad section of I-75 with older pavement. The Dunflops are good on good, newer and dry roads with no turns. Once I got the Yokohamas, I never have had any traction problems at all. I heard that Yokohamas are as good as the Dunflops in snow though. I will worry about that whne it snows here in Florida.

Damn dude!! think I will have to wait a while for the mods. Hell I'm just glad to have a dependable car to drive towork. Yep it's definately a fun car to drive. I'd say one of the best handling cars I've ever had.

Is this board highly censored or can people pretty much say what they want around here??

Thanks for the warm welcome...even if I did pick a lame-ass name....LOL.

No, the board actually IS highly sensored and all those who dropped the F Bomb shall be banned by Wednesday.

Thankyou.

I got mine to scream to. They were screaming "REPLACE us all!"

And I am not the one who gave you that rep...

Thanks guys. Looks like this place is gonna be full of good info on my new ride.

I'm not so much against obeying the rules, but some of the s*** they censor on other boards is ridiculous. They treat ya like your in kindergarten or something. I'm a big boy now.....I hate being treated like a child.

If you want to change it, ask an admin!

I know, use the search feature. But does anyone know off the top of their head if MB Quart 6X8" Discus speakers will fit my front doors?? Cruthfield shows some 5X7's and some 6X8's and some 5 1/4" speakers that wil fit this car. Don't understand how different sizes like that can fit the same vehicle. (dunno)

I gotta do something....thing factory radio sucks monkey nuts. (headshake

 

[edge-02-protege]

I just bought a protege about a month ago and I get on average about 32+ miles to the gallon but I only drive interstate to and from work. I do have a question for anyone though. I can't figure out how to get a thread going. Can someone tell me how? Thanks.

 

[WetsuitxNinja]

ill agree with the stocks holding well in dry climates, I drive the ortega hwy pretty much everytime I go to the beach, they hold pretty good around the tuff turns, just watch out for any water, I hit a little streak across the road and ended up a weeee bit sideways thank god no traffic was oncomming... mine are getting bald, time for some new ish yaaaay lol

 

[NJP5Guy]

i honestly don't know how it is people get such bad mileage. on the highway at 75mph+ i get 30+ mpg. so far after 22000+ miles i have averaged over 28mpg. id say about 65-70% is town mileage. even driving around town and racing the car i get 24-25mpg. the worst i ever got was just over 21mpg and that was in the winter and letting my car idle every morning for like 5min before i went to work(that idling adds up to lots of wasted gas).

 

[GreyMan]

Just took a trip up to chico and san francisco from san diego. Averaged out at 28-30 miles per gallon with city and highway driving. I was happy with that.
