Tommorow, the 2003 P5 gets replaced by a 2012 3

If all goes well, the 2003 Protege5 with 176,000 miles, horrifically rusted quarter panels, and massive rust holes in the rear frame gets replaced by a shiny new (leftover) 2012 3 Skyactiv 6MT.

Been a while since I posted on the Mazda forums, but I need to see what everyone's been doing to their cars.

I'm quite excited, actually. Haven't had a new car in many, many years.

Yuck.. Smiley Face...

Should have waited a year..

I can live with the smiley face.

There was zero chance the P5 was going to last another year without insane amounts of money being poured into it.

Good choice. I like the smiley face.
