What do you tell people you drive?

Protege
Mazdaspeed
Mazdaspeed Protege

My window sticker said 2003 Mazdaspeed.

It does say protege on the back and is built on the protege chassis and shares most parts.

Just wondering what you tell other people.

I say MazdaSpeed Protege, most people don't know what it is at school. They hear Protege and probably think I drive a regular one, but when they see it they're like "What kind of car that is, it's sweet!"

But one time at Blockbuster one of the guys asked if my car in the parking lot was a MazdaSpeed; it made me feel good

 

[subachad]

Them: What do you drive?
Me: Subaru
them: A WRX?
me: no, it's just an old 93 Impreza
them: why don't you get a new car?
me: I like to drive harder than most.

me thinking: With a Turbo u b**** now leave me alone because you wouldn't understand that I need an AWD car that can pull a trailer with my dirtbike through 6" of mud and go to a track event the following day. Not to mention it's paid for and insurance is cheap and who would suspect simple little 200hp car?

I say I drive a Mazdaspeed, if they ask I say it's a Protege that comes out of a special dept of Mazda and gets the title Mazdaspeed.

They ask, oh waht's done to it

I say, it's turbocharged, has a racing suspension, aero-dynamics, blah blah

same thing happens to me in school.

I say a Speed, then I hear the crickets chirp and look at their blank expressions. So, I continue, it's a Mazda. They say very slowly Mazda....Speed? I just think to myself, exactly.

 

[jersey_emt]

.Either a Mazdaspeed Protege or just a Mazdaspeed. It usually requires some explanation, which I easily oblige to telling

 

[SP33D]

I usually say "the one that's faster than yours."
lol j.k
I say Mazdaspeed Protege, but I hate saying it because I know it requires explanation..... which I don't like doing.

That's too damn good...crickets!!!

I usually say Mazdaspeed Protege....get lots of blank expressions... you can almost see the mice on the wheels in their heads. Here's the cheese little mousie...keep turning that wheel...

I did have a McDs employee admire my car at the drive-through last week. He actually knew what it was. My cool ratio is sky-rocketing!

Isn't it sad? A kid at McD's know's a Speed when he sees one, but the car salesman I bought my wife's Firebird from had no idea. So I explained to him what it was and he said, "You can bring it in and trade it in on a Ion Redline." (this was a Saturn dealer). No way in hell that's gonna happen. Yeah, I know a Redline will smoke me someday, but still I just couldn't do it.

 

[MrRoseBlackMSP]

[Ljspeed]

[jonnydoe48]

[Turbo Matty P]

\when people ask what I drive I usually answer:

"well, to a funeral I' drive a hearse, to a wedding a limo, and to the racetrack I drive my mazda"

Gives them the whole gambit of automobile usage.
