What have you done to your P5 today?

i'd still like to sell the P5 for a MSP, which already has everything done already

BUT, it comes down to 1, how much it costs for repairs and 2, if the pro5 sells
 
ok, story time.

So, i'm coming into a left hand turn lane and i had been behind this red Protege5 for about a mile or so.

I get into the turn lane and the driver overshoots, then puts her signal on. To show Mazda love, i let em in (Not knowing the sex of the driver yet)

Can't really tell if it's a guyor girl cause the windows is tinted.

Anyways, we make the left and go to pass as they were not going quite fast enough for me (not flooring it, but going around) and look over to see a blonde driving.

We don't drive any differnet, just cruisng along.

We get to a red light and i can now see her behind me scrambling for something, then i see her door open and a rather good looking blonde in a skirt runs up to me, handing me her card, telling me, "Call me so we can hang out some time."

On the card reads,

"<3 your color
Red Mazda P5"

then light turns green and i drive away
 
Made a camera mount with a piece of wood, bracket, and a couple screws. Took some video with it but I gotta wait till I get back to the apt to upload it. Works great :D

Pro5X2 you gotta love that man. i was walking in to my mall today and in the mall parking lot there was a lady with a 2003.5 just like yours same color and all. she was a cute older lady so i said " i really love your car, i drive one too." all i got was a weird look and a awkaward smile haha
 
Looks good. The timing belt will cost you anywhere from 200-500 dollars to replace depending on who you get to do it. I would also have them change the water pump. The ball joints would be a bit pricey as well. I think by the time it was all said and done, you'd have about 3k in it. Not a bad deal if it truly doesn't have any big problems.

 
Found a screw lodged into my front, driver side tire. It's holding air but I'm going tomorrow to get it taken out and patched. Damn it.
 
In case anyone was wondering...I'm selling because we want something newer....however, that has evolved to my wife getting a "coupe" & I getting something "with 4-doors & a turbo from the factory"...Mazdas are on the short list...but only for me...the wife picked something and I fully approve.
I'll leave it @ that.
