What have you done to your P5 today?

[sawzaw]

i was doing my 60 mile round trip commute in a 5.7l v8 suburban for the last six months until finally i got mazda'd half as much gas each month literally!

What ISN'T faster than a P5 stock? I've been beaten off the line by schoolbusses!

Ok, it's not THAT bad, but it IS bad lol

P5 > G5 coupe.. in every way imaginable. When you hit the brakes medium hard, the rears lock up and it goes into a skid.. but it doesn't skid straight, it ALWAYS starts to spin very quickly. it's quite entertaining but I think I'll hang myself if I have to put up with this car for more than a couple days. My spring break starts next Friday, I don't have time for this s*** (since I'm underage they won't let me leave the state with the car.. wtf!)

dude where in rochester do you live?? I can't believe there's finally another P5 guy from Rochester on here.. there's a few other Rochester members but they're never on here and the only modded Protege5 I've ever seen in the area was another silver one. It was weird when I saw a silver P5 with gunmetal wheels, lowered.. and I was in my strikingly similar car.

I live downtown btw.. in the U of R / Strong / Highland Park area.

Thanks Mark....we rented one back in 04 for a trip to Myrtle Beach and fell in love with it. Wifey would love to get the new CX-9 but a $600 a month car payment makes me feel (sick)

If I get this paper finished quickly enough I might go visit my P5 today. I'll take pics if/when I do

it's raining today...so I didn't get to install my new headlights...

but I did file my federal and state income taxes today! I'll be getting back quite a nice sum...a portion of which will probably go to p5 stuff...so that's kinda something I did to (or rather did for) my p5 today...

The plastic caps are really pricey from the dealership, but check onlinemazdaparts.com (send a PM to "bagman1" if you can't find the proper parts on the site).

Oh and Rob.. now your car is rice-tastic. get some real selective yellow bulbs haha.

post some non-cameraphone pics kthx.
