If I could arrange a meet/cruise in Fond du Lac(About an hour and 15 min. north of Milwaukee) at the dealership I work at would anyone be interested? We hold a Miata meet every year and think that it would be the shiznit if we would have a Protege meet also. If anyone would be interested let me know!

Just let me know. I will have to see when I work.

You need to get your Miata buddies together and go to this show next week. Me and a bunch of people are hosting. It's gonna be huge.

Let me know if you wanna go. I want to get a big mazd group together for the show.

Later

:mad: :mad: ---Every time there is something cool going on I either have to work or go to a wedding! I've got a wedding this weekend. It's in Green Bay though so maybe I'll see some cool cars while I'm there.
If there is enough interest I'll pull some strings and get the meet thing going. I know quite a few of Protege owners around here. I just want to make sure that I don't jump through a lot of hoops for nothing. I'll keep you posted!

Depending on what part of Chicago your from it usuall takes three or four hours.
We just had our Miata meet this past weekend. I couldn't make it but I heard it was a good time. There was about 60 Miata's there. I need to get a lot more input if this is going to work! Please let me know!:)

I've got an LX with the MP3 conversion. It's a small world. About a week or two ago I sold you dad some touchup or wheel locks or something like that for your car!

Touch up paint and chrome valve covers...still haven't used it.

Oh yea. Now I remember. Hopefully you don't need too much paint!

That P5 paint is horrible...I have never seen so many chips.

I've been pretty lucky. I've only got a few chips. I also only have 7,000 miles on it.
Have you seen any of the Protege's that we've decked out yet?
They let me do two of them and they sold right away! I just put some 17" gunmetal Mille Miglia HT3's. It looks awesome!. I also put some 17's on a couple of Sunfires. A lot of the salesmen look at the cars and don't like the rims, then a day later someone buys the car because they think the rims look cool. I think it's kind of funny.
I'm trying to see if anyone would be interested in a meet at Holiday. If enough people are interested I'm going to Mike and see if he'd allow it.

I don't live in FDL (or Wisconsin for that matter). I haven't seen any of the decked out ones...

Here's a question for you - you use Mazda OEM oil filters or just have the guys at Holiday do your oil change?

I forgot that you don't live in WI. I use the OEM filter and would't recomend anything else.Please do your car a favor and don't use any Fleet Farm special's. I change my own oil. It's very convienent for me. If you have Holiday do it, they always use the OEM filters.
Not tryn' to cut you short but I gotta get going. Later-
