if i can't figure out the MX-6 soon, it's getting parted out to start the turbo fund for the protege, OR

looking for a clean 280Z rolling chassis...I want to drop a small block chevy engine in

 

Here's the ones that had my name on the title:

'73/4 Dodge Dart (two door w/slant 6...great engine)
'81 Mazda RX-7 GS (first love, still have her although somewhat rough. Resto coming)
'91 Mazda MPV*
'85 Ford F150*
'96 Mazda Protege LX*
'98 Mazda Millenia S* (really sweet car)
'01 Mazda MPV* (for sale!)
'03 Mazda Protege ES

* are cars I had while married. Does anyone see a pattern here? Hmmm....

I once rode in a 914 when I was about 13, it was a guy my dad worked with. First ride in a sports car and man, was it great! Not sure if it was a 4 or 6 cylinder. I was hooked on hitting curves hard after that.

 

Ugh...let me see if I can get this right:

OH yeah- and one Dodge Neon for about a day

 

From most recently owned to first owned:

03 Protege5

94 Honda Accord EX (I absolutely LOVED this car... white, four doors, leather, sunroof, 5-speed! But then I was almost at 100k and my extended warranty was about to run out before I had to have some $2000 worth of work done on it and it was soon to need new paint... so... that $2000 went towards the new P5!)

94 Mazda 626

86 Honda Accord LXi hatchback

86 Subaru XT (powersteeringless piece of crap but so much fun to beat on! and rare these days) ---anyone else ever own one of these?

I'd have to say that the 626 was a good car, but the lamest car of the bunch, only because it was the base model with automatic tranny. All the others were 5-spds. There's no doubt that I'd like to be driving a new car by the time I'm finished with my graduate degree. I'm planning on having the P5 completely paid off by then. I'm also a musician and I really like the idea of having long cargo space (to fit a full size keyboard) so naturally, I'm turned on a bit by the new Mazda5 or the Mazda6 wagon.

 

you must really love Mazdas! Do you work for them?
