Just bought a Protege5

Sup everyone just wanted to introduce myself and say hey. Just bought an 03 Protege5 in Midnight Blue Mica and i'm totally stoked. I hope to learn some new stuff on here as i'm coming from working on BMWs to this new front wheel drive animal.

Hey Seth and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have.

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
