I hate using smileys.

I had a '02 Protege5.
Loved it.
Red.
Stock.
Handled very well.

I traded it in for a Subaru Impreza.
I need the AWD for the Canadian winters.

I do miss my Protege5.
It's still a great looking car

That's a really nice clean car. Well done on not ruining it.

Over here that's called a 323 Astina.

Lucky... I had an 0830 exam on the first day (last Monday) and my last one is at 1930 on Friday. I think I pretty much had the very first and very last exam slots. It sucks big time.

What's Revscene?

Thanks! Exams definitely suck...last one for me today though! :D

P.S. You on Revscene? lol

So you're fourth year or this was just your last year? I'm fourth year in history and poli sci but I have about another semester to go until I finish.

I'll check out the site... not really into modding or tuning and whatnot but I just got a new car so I'll check it out. Welcome to the boards by the way. ;)

It's my 4th year...well technically 5th since I went on co-op.

You might have trouble getting into the boards cause I think you have to register to see the threads, and they close registration from time to time...there's about 45000 members on there...and a few hundred on at a time so it can get busy :D

Judging by what's under your avatar, you got an IS250? AWD? My cousin just bought one as well, nice cars they are. ;)

Mine is just the RWD. Couldn't justify the AWD as it was some $7,000 more (with the same options) and a whole hell of a lot slower.

That's really nice and slick. About 2003 before I bought my MR-2 I gave some thought to getting on, but then decided to get some highly impractical :)

You've made yours really cool, though.
