You know that your'e a Mazda-maniac when...

... When you buy new floor mats so you don't screw up the heal rest piece so it always looks nice when showing the car off....
 
You go out of the way to drive by glass office buildings so you can see the reflection of your car in motion.

hehe...good one. Guilty!
 
YOu guys and gals are all sick!!!

Wait I do most of that stuff too...I washed my car in between the rain showers the other day :-)
 
Another one...

When your friends mention MP3, you think they are talking about the Mazda MP3 and start talking about specs etc, when really they are talking about MP3 Music...
 
When you try to think of some reason you need to drive somewhere, and when you can't think of any, you go anyway :D
 
when shopping, you start getting extremely impatient with your slow ass sister taking FOREVER to try s*** on, cause you know you are gonna be going to mexico tomorrow and wont be able to drive for a week, cause she insisted on driving her damn civic, and also all of a sudden you dont feel like spending as much $$ on clothes as you normally would, cause you keep thinking...wait, i wanna save this for my car...


and now im back from shopping, and its too late to go driving...or at least i cant think of an excuse to go:(
 
Shopping.... Yeah (Happy Holidays!!).....

When you spend 20mins to find the perfect parking space in an empty parking lot, making sure that from every angle in the lot someone will be able to see the car.


Edit: When shopping for your family and friends you end up the automotive section buying cleaning supplies for your car.




And when you get back from your shopping you find some punk has parked right next to you.

when you're actually happy to pick up your sister from some event just a few minutes away...

when u yell at your parents for driving the way they do...

when u spend half of the time in class doodling 'mazdaspeed protege' in different fonts or drawing the side profile or front side of your car...

when u wake up in a cold sweat dreaming of driving through the mountain side...

when all u think about is shifting to the next gear in your car...

when u constantly take different angled pictures of your car, even though u already have them...

when u don't have anywhere to go during lunch, you just drive around for the hell of it...

when your girlfriend thinks that you like your car more than you like her...

when you fanatically defend your car in every situation...
 
Guilty of all the following:

--spending 45 minutes in the garage staring at your car

--deciding to take the route home with heavier traffic so more people can see your car

--taking the way home that takes an hour longer just so you can take the twisties

--hand washing, polishing and waxing the car in 35 degree weather because the car wash might scratch it up

--giving the thumbs up to other mazdas, including MPVs and old Mazda pickups
 
.....When you are in 5th gear, and accidently switching to reverse, thinking its 6th gear.
 
being stupid enough to trade in your faster, slightly more sporty car for a domesticated econobox wagon: guilty.

well, at least i want to.

umm, there is an interlock, you cant do it
try it and you will see, put the car in 5th and then try and move it down into reverse

...When telling stories about your car people think you are talking about an actual person, some damn fine woman you saw at the mall, or some kind of wild beast

Thanks for telling, but I know that. All newer cars begining with 1997 models I believe, have that feature. BUT it works only when you are in 5th gear and trying to switch to reverse straight from 5th. When you are in 5th, put it in neutral and then it will go into reverse. But once again thanks for telling:rolleyes:

.....When you are calling your friend for his digital camera to take some pics of your car, and your friend tells u that this is the 7th time for the last 10 minutes, and thats the last time hes giving it to you. But you know that you will come back for that camera within the next 3 minutes.
 
...when your neighbors come out of their house when you're washing your car and tell you "you're going to wear the paint off that car".
...when this forum's down, you don't know what to do and go out for a drive.
...when you chase down other proteges you see on the road just to see if they've modded anything or try to talk to them.
...when you find modded proteges when you're out, you write down the license plate and look up who it is when you get home just to know.
...when you'd rather look at pics of the nice proteges on this site than watch porn.
...when you stay up late look at the same parts for your car that you've looked at hundreds of nights before again and again just thinking "one day"
...when you're at the movies and your date finally just tells you to just go check on your car.
...when you refuse to go get food for your sick girlfriend at the time just because its snowing and you dont want to risk damaging your car in any way.
...when you'd rather risk driving your protege for 15 hours to another state on bald tires than taking a plane.
...when your girlfriend asks "can we FINALLY take my car? just once?"
...when you wash your car more than you do laundry.


:D
