ABS isn't a huge deal in the snow, I don't think so anyways. Manual trans cars are so much better in the snow. You control the power/gear for grip rather than just spinning and downshifts/nuetral helps a lot with braking. I haven't had ABS in the 4 years that I have had my car. It was fun rockin out bald Grasspics this morning though.

Thank god for my day off being today.
My car is a 2008 Mazdaspeed3 sport with 86,000 miles....
KBB = $12,160 Very Good
NADA = $13,150 Average
And I'm not decreasing value for mods...
I owe $10,050. I guess it's nice to know that I have about $3,000 extra, but still. I bought the car for $15,999 and it was worth around $17,000 then. And it only had 45,000 miles

I feel your pain Nate. Mine came with 2 summers and 2 nearly worn out all seasons. Like a fool I put the better tread (summers) on the front. I will just have to rotate them because the summers suck balls even in the rain!

yeah thats what happens, you use a car and it loses value...
That's my plan
I have never sold a car that runs are is divable. I've had 3 cars make it over 250k. Hopefully the MSP doesn't let me down, but if she does then she just have to get a little transplant. I love the car too much to let it go. Plus I really haven't had any problems with it. The biggest thing so far was the front wheel bearings and the rear sway bar clamps snapping. I don't think 'll have any more issues with the rear clamps any more. Heavily Modified FTW! Some may call it overkill, but I call it money well spent.
I dig it, Corey and Nate. I mean, engine swaps really aren't that tough to do anymore. Especially if it's a direct swap, most occasions it can be done in the garage on a weekend. And motors are inexpensive for the the Protege's so why not just put a new motor in when it pops. I feel grateful I have the means and know-how to do most of the work on my cars. I mean, I've got a 2000 Mazda Millenia with ~60k for $650 and a KL. I'm always keeping an eye out for a clean P5 with a blown motor because people think a car is worthless with a bad motor.

I guess I'm the only one who wants something new.

I received this today even though I still have a couple of weeks to go, it a chocolate bar! It's supposed to be marked inside as well, but I don't know what it says yet
I bought something new from you, I just don't drive it most of the time. Are you holding out for the focus st or the aston fusion?
