Hey Oppo, it’s been quite a while, so I figured I’d start with a small post. I haven’t posted in months, but I’ve got a wealth of new car stories, experiences and material to write about. Pic for attention, link is below.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
So to start off, I still have the 2011 Mazda 3 hatch. It’s not really cutting it for me. It’s a great reliable, slightly fun vehicle, but it doesn’t scratch the itch. The automatic is mostly at fault, but I’m the most at fault for purchasing the vehicle.
I had plans all laid out to buy a 2009 Mazdaspeed 3 GT, but that fell through in the most spectular way possible (story to come). At this point, I’ve owned pretty much every type of car from every continent, so my preference is really just something that’s interesting. This super cheap Protege5 popped up and I thought the idea of a dirty cheap beater sounded great. I could buy something like this and effectively pocket the $9k difference from my Mazda.
The greatest luxury is a car that you give no fucks about.
P.S. the Shelby clone is my photo. Also another story to come after spending the day with it.

That’s a nasty gash in the door... Hood appears to be a different color? You should be able to find a nicer high mileage protege for not too much more.

Eh, the hood doesn’t bother me, just the gash and the front valance not fitting right. I haven’t found any other Protege 5 manuals without traveling 4 hours or more.
I figure for a solid beater sub -$2k it’s not too bad.
