Prior to the 2003 Protege5:
1977 Toyota Corolla SR5 - side exhaust
1986 Toyota 1-ton pickup
1986 Mazda 323LXi - with an engine swap
1988 Mazda 626GT - with turbo tweaked
1990 Mazda 323
1991 Mazda RX-7 - exhaust and header done
1992 Nissan Maxima
1997 Mazda B2300
1998 Protege SE
2000 Daewoo Leganza - my work car presently
2002 Honda Civic SiR
This list is in order of year of manufacture, not ownership, and I had owned some of these concurrently.
These have all been really good vehicles EXCEPT the B2300 truck, what a FORD POS, and the SiR, which though had a really neat and functional shifter arrangement, great seats, and good power delivery compared to the P5, it had so many build quality issues and didn't handle well. In the space of 9 months of ownership (from new), I had it in for work at least 17 times!
The RX-7 was a real blast, and I want the RX-8 to be my next car... or a Miata (1993 model in black, with cherry red seats, air, and LSD rear end)
The 626GT didn't handle as well as the P5, but was faster, and the Corolla SR5 was old school, rear wheel drive fun, tough as nails, and when hand painted with spray bombs in metal flake copper and green two-tone, it really attracted the ladies.

- Audi A4 Quatrro
1997 Acura Integra. Process of replicating the Mugen DC2. In highschool at the time. 17-18 years old lol......every teen's must have was an Integra! DUHHHH!
SOLD! reason.....Couldnt deal with the thieves. Word on the "street" was they were trying to steal the car from the school parking lot (highschool).
I beefed up security mods after I heard that.
Thieves became very brave when they tried to steal it from my house.......they failed! lol suckaahhhhhhhhs!
2002 Audi A4 Quattro. 19-20
And then, she went gothic
SOLD! reason.....Cost to drive this thing around as a daily was not worth it, and maintenance is outrageous.
it was either put money into the car, or put money into photography/my future career
I didnt get a picture of the WHOLE front end off.
everyone was like "WTF happend?.....you crashed it?"
because when I lift the garage door, all you see is the motor, and fenders lol
the picture above......was for maintenance, and a bit of upgrade since I was tearing it all apart anyways hehe.
now im 21.
enjoying the P5, and wondering why I didnt just get this car to begin with!
enough space for me.
GREAT gas millage.
looks damn good from the factory.
and handles like a dream!

before the P5, My first car was a 1986 dodo brown dodge dakota that my grandfather gave me. Then after that died my dad got me a car.......it was a Porsche!......914 =(
google it....lol Than after my 4 years in the Marines I got a used S2000....it was fun but I found out it was a slut. It was a 2003 and I was the 8th owner....=( So after spending 4gs to fix it. I could not afford any more problems. So I traded it in for the P5.
Loving it!.

First car was a 97 saturn SC1. biggest peice of jjunk EVER.
I decided to get into bikes and got an 82 Honda CM450.
When i decided i needed more than a bike(esp. before winter) i got a 99 Contour with V6. the car was actualy pretty quick and i really liked it. but it had small problem after small problem. i figured it was going to be a beg problem sooner or later so i sold it. and the transmission was starting to go on it.
While i had the contour i got rid of the honda and got a Yamaha FZR1000 which i might be selling soon(if anyone wants it.)
Then obvioulsy the P5 which is amazing. ive had it for about 6 months. and finally getting off my ass and modding it. Got some parts on the way.

I had a 91 Chevy truck from May 2006 until August 2009. I traded it in as a Cash For Clunker and got 4500 for it. It was a nice truck barely had 100k miles and my great grandfather bought it new, but I think I like my Pro5 better.
I also had a 94 Mustang Cobra from August 04 until September 08, then in October 08 after I sold the Cobra I bought a 2009 Mustang Bullitt.

The Protege5 my parents bought new in October 2001, and my mom daily drove it until August 09 when we traded my truck for a 2009 Civic sedan.
