What people have told YOU about YOUR car

[SuperWagon502]

People tell me alot about my car lately.

1. "It's a single cam motor"
upon showing them my vlave cover, they argue that it's the wrong peice or leave

2. "Cool you put in red guages, where'd you find them?"
At the dealer buddy, pretty cool huh?

3. "Hey guys he's got the cool manu-matic shifter kit stuff!" "Hey wh ydoes it have a third pedal though?"
It's called... " I HAVE A 5SPD MORON"

4. idiot - " Your spoiler light is broken and your brakes are going bad"
me - "why is that "
idiot - " It's blinks alot when you slow down. You nkow I think It blinks about 15 times. You could give someone a seisure if you dont fix it"
I got the safet bli nker thig installed in my 3rd brake light from dealer. Said garanteed not to be rear ended or they pay my deductable.

5. "Your car should run low 15's in the 1/4"
I wish. Track tested and owner disapproved at 17.1 AT 80MPH in the 1/4

But after all that I can still go to Dunkin Donughts in Peachtree City and my fan club will tell my how fast my car looks and how nice it looks and even though it's stock will front for me before I can stop them and tell the local ricers that I'll spank them with the anger of a thousand rabid baboons. (monkey2) (sssh)

[Mike R]

LOL, I had one guy say mine was the same thing as a Lexus.

[sidpro5]

"He's got one of those little European cars..............." a female co-worker.

[Prodigy]

well this is sorta different but on the same subject..

I know a girl that bought a Saturn for one reason and one reason only: She thinks it looks like a Ferrari.

[MotegiMazdA]

Ive gotten the SOHC one.
People ask me what kind of honda it is all the time

you should hear what they have to say about the rx-7 (evil)

[RobMP5]

"Wow, is that one of those new Toyota Matrixes?" - a VERY misinformed customer at Wal-Mart

My response: "Sorry, this is the better looking, better driving and more affordable Mazda Protegè5"

[SuperWagon502]

Okay so I was out at Wal-Mart today and some chick looked at my car from the back end and asked me if it was a white Subaru WRX wagon?

[Bass Addict]

With the hood popped, I always get the "Whoa, whats that?" (Referring to the,stock, red strut bar)
Me: "Its a strut bar"
Them: "Did you put it on there?"
Me: "No it came stock"
Them: "Whats it do?"
Me: "Oh, well if your working in the engine bay, and your rags get wet and dirty you can hang them on there"

I ALWAYS get asked those questions, in that order.

[SuperWagon502]

With the hood popped, ...if your working in the engine bay, and your rags get wet and dirty you can hang them on there"
ROFL (lol)

[loccusst]

Sorry to be off topic a bit but did you say you got the brake light flasher at the dealership? Whats it called and how much? I've heard about the ones that flash your brakes and then stay on constant when the pedal is pressed. My wifes car is yellow. So, one time in front of wal-mart a dude flags me down and asks if im the taxi he is waiting for.

did you say yes???

[Black Majik MSP]

I had a cop ask me if my car was an Impreza & then some guy with a Spec V asked if I drove the Lancer. :confused: I guess it's because I'm debadged.

[Pretzellogic]

"Wow, is that one of those new Toyota Matrixes?" - a VERY misinformed customer at Wal-MartI get that one a lot.

[sidpro5]

"That looks just like my car (Pontiac Vibe)"............another co-worker.
Uh, sorry. No.

[Action Jackson]

"Nice LITTLE car".

I get that all the time.

People don't say anything when I tell them that I take the car to the racetrack.

[Jspec]

This one made me really upset at the same time happy I guess
"Is that a PT Crusier u got there because it looks kinda cute?"
I laughed and walked away.

[BiGx5MurF]

Guys don't say anything, since i pay my own gas, and they're lucky dey get a ride. Well one friend said after a ride, "this car got some ill handling"

3 guys so far have went, is this thing awd?

i lost count how many girls said "Your car is soooo cute"

[Aricjm15]

I was chillin with a few of my friends one night, I had my 86 chrysler laser, one of my friends had his 70's turbo 280z, and my other friend with his 96 eclipse
this one guy with a shit ass car, music pumped up with his stock speakers (trying to show off his glorious distortion) walks up to me points at the Datsun 280z and asks me if its a Porsche, I told him it was a ferrari and walked away only to find my friends listen to this dousche with a auto wrx try and talk about his car like he knew somthing "I'm gonna get this exhaust thats gonna give me 300hp, my can will whoop your GST, lets run from a 30 punch"
yes dickbag race from a roll where your car looses the advantage of its awd

[fraay]

I get all the normal compliments you would expect a nice lookin red p5 to get ;) ..and the honda comments.. but this convo makes me proud :).. a friend who came back from an extended stay out of the country..hadn't seen my car yet..

me: "throw your luggage in the car"
friend: "is there enough room in there?" (2 suitcases and a carry on)
me: "uh.. its a wagon.. im sure theres room"
friend: "thats not a wagon"
me: "its a wagon"
friend: "thats not a wagon!!!"
me: "count the doors.. what do you call 4 door + hatch?"
friend (walks around the car, looks inside): "well *bleep*.. it doesnt LOOK like a wagon!"

[Replica]

i lost count how many girls said "Your car is soooo cute"werd

[Kansei]

here's how it always goes for me. I have this friend who really in fact hates me and thinks I'm too stupid to realize it.. anyways he thinks that he can be my spokesperson or something, so here goes teh conversation:

Hot Girl: Oh Chris's new car is sooo cute!
My "Friend": I dunno I don't think it looks very nice, and plus it's a STATION WAGON.
Hot Girl: But it's really cute I love the way it looks!
My "Friend": But it's a wagon.. he was so stupid for getting the wagon.

This friend also said "oh that was a sorry mistake" when I told him that I got a used 2002.5 protege5 over a new 2003 Tiburon... ugh. Why would I get an ugly car with a gross interior and questionable reliability.. oh yeah and shit resale value. This spokesperson also has this conversation often:

Some guy in my class: Hey is Chris's new car any fast?
My "Friend": nah nah that thing mad slow, and it's a freakin wagon.
Some guy in my class: Oh.

(hand)

[rednecks_r_us]

Got a compliment from a guy in a Mitsubishi GTS. We were cruising east on the highway at around 70+ just before sunset. The sun is shinning on the tailgate in front of him reflecting back into his face. Well there is an accident on the otherside of the highway so everybody on our side of the devided highway thinks that they must stop & look.

So the stupid lookie loo's go from 75 to 35. The truck in front of the Mitsu has dim breaklights besides having the sun bleaching them out. Well the Mitsu hits his breaks and slides a little side ways but keeps from smacking into the back of the truck.

I dropped two gears and changed lanes within inches of his rear end. After he catches up to me, he rolls down his window. I rolled down mine. He looks over at me and yells, "That car handles F$%#ing awesome! Sweet ride."

[loccusst]

I told the dude no im not the taxi....and then called my wife to tell her the funny story as i drove off.

[P5LawnMan]

Smart Ass kid sayes " Hey mister I like your clown car "

[jonlong]

lol, this is a funny thread.
My male friend: "Jon, your new car is kinda feminine"
My female friend: "Ya, that means that the ladies will love it"

[Prodigy]

I told the dude no im not the taxi....and then called my wife to tell her the funny story as i drove off.hahaha, the funny thing is that at nopi there was a yellow taxi protege. it was pretty cool.

[jlanger]

I always get the one about your car is exactly the same as a focus. Last time was at a Tires Plus, I looked at the manager who was standing next to the kid and told him to get this kid some more training.
Usually I get the comments like "nice car, they sure do make em pretty now", "is that a WRX?", adn the best "I like your audi".

[DrAsperigus]

Yeah, I get the:

Pizza Hut Drive Thru Attendant: "Is that a WRX cuz I luv those?!? "
DrAsperigus: "Give me mah pizza bitch. It's a P5."

[kolashaker]

The best compliment I ever got was a coworker saying how nice my car looked, and asking if I got a body kit. When I told him it was stock, he was pretty shocked. His response: "Cars usually don't look that good stock" :D.

[leungwingkei]

This was a conversation I had with a friend the second day I got the car, when I picked up my bro from school two or so years ago.

Friend: Nice car, I see you only have 37km on it.
Me: Yup, got it yesterday ago.
Friend: You added a front bumper already, how much did it cost you?
Me: It's stock.
Friend: What about the fogs?
Me: It's stock
Friend: How much were the sideskirts?
Me: It came stock.
Friend: What about the wheels?
Me: Everything you see on the car came like that from the dealer, the only option is the sunroof.
Friend: (boom07) ?!

[Kansei]

Some friend. You sure know how to pick them. By the way, what does he drive?
yeah, i forgot to mention that.. he has a 1997 hyundai tiburon (hah)(hah)

http://members.cardomain.com/koreanricer - it's got leather that is very dry, driver side has tons of stress and the back seat.. it's rock solid because it's so dry. everything is all worn and the car feels so loose to drive. plus, the clearcoat came off of all the plastic parts (spoiler, mirrors, bumpers) so it isn't lookin too good. I'll take a full blown station wagon over it any day.

[leungwingkei]

Cheryl as your friend named it, looks like a train wreck. The headlamps are yellow and the interior is a mess, with the controls all over the place and the dash looking it came out of the 80s.

[RobMP5]

I always get the one about your car is the exactly the same as a focus.
Dont get me started on this one. Before I got my P5, I had a 2001 Focus ZX3. When I first brought the P5 to work I got the following comments:

"So where's your new car?"
"What did you do, paint your old car?"

My response was "Yeah its just like the Focus except it

- has 5 doors
- has color keyed body kit + spoiler standard
- was made in Japan, not Mexico
- is a better car
- will be worth more than my down payment in 3 years"

[Replica]

Why do you care if people talk shit? Doesn't matter to me. Take them for a ride along at an autox....

[SuperWagon502]

It's called Saftey Pulse I believe. I'll have to look at my receipt from the dealer
I think its onl $150

[SuperWagon502]

My girlfriend just saw this and told me That I drive a Daddy-mobile. No not pimp daddy, a where's-the-car-seat-mobile?(sad1)

[fLyPiNoY7]

me: my car is a sport wagon
friend: thats not a sport wagon, its a station wagon...
me: so what, its better than ur ricer (1998 nissan altima with stickers all over it)

[cbcbd]

The "eh":
-"Hey, how do you like your car? I've been looking for a car to get my daughter" -guy at gas station
-"how many horses does it have?" - HS kids in some SUV parked next to me
-"It's cute" - my boss, from Arkansas, at a company party
-"Is it all wheel drive?" - so many people. Some have even asked it more than once



The good:
-"Hey, is that color a factory option?" - older guy with wife from his Del Sol
-"Who's yellow Matrix is out there in the parking lot?" -"Mine, but it's not a Matrix, it's a Protege5" - "Nice car" - guy in coffee shop
-thumbs up from 3 drivers on the road, one mouthed "nice car" :D, just like that woman in the Docker's pants ad

[LapisBlueProteg]

most common " Nice Color"

[lasermp5]

my fav...

Ricer: hope you didn't get ripped off for those 16" rims
Me: Hope you didn't get ripped off for those 17" autozone rims
Ricer: STFU how much you pay for those... they are awesome but you're stupid to get 16"
Me: Nothing you idiot. They came stock
Ricer: ohhh.....
Me: Ya that's what I though bitch (upyours)

[GNO]

I've had girls scream out "whooo!" as we pass.

Lately, I've been getting a lot of "it's all wheel drive". Last month was funny. . .
him - the stock wheels are nice, you didn't need to get those. (referring to the Borbet wheels)
my wife - They're just for my snow tires.
him - Snow tires?! What for, it's all wheel drive!
my wife - ummm, NO!

[Black Majik MSP]

I just got another one tonight...I was out taking pics of my car in front of my house & this kid & his dad come riding by on their bikes. I was talking to the dad, but then the kid says "it looks like one of those cars from Need For Speed Underground". I played that game once & I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment...most of the cars people customize in that game look like ass.

[bryan_giovana]

When I was lined up at the dragstrip with about 10 suped up Mustangs on the opening day of the year...
"Oh...and whose cute little car is this?" "Look how cute that engine is." "What kind of times can you get?"

And I reply "I'll be happy to get in the 20's!"

[bryan_giovana]

I bought a yellow and black Eddie Bauer carseat because it matches the car. It's awesome. My 2 1/2 year old daughter always asks to go for a ride in the yeh-yo car.


My girlfriend just saw this and told me That I drive a Daddy-mobile. No not pimp daddy, a where's-the-car-seat-mobile?(sad1)

[digitalpro5]

I like this tread so funny.

I think we all get the;

"aww your car is so cute (from the ladies)"
"dude you got a station wagon (from jealous guys)"
"is that the Lexus IS300 (from the 30ish-40ish peeps)"
"that body kit is nice (stock of course)"

oil change guy: "all wheel drive?"
Me: "nope"
oil change guy: "how come you have 4 disk breaks, cause mostly everyone has just 2"
Me: "came that way from dealer."
oil change guy: "so its all wheel drive."
Me: "yeah sure..."
oil change guy: "see I knew it"

Here some of my favorites;

"hey what kind of car is that? did you import it here?"
"hey is this a 2004, I really don't like them Mazda3's (that is forreal too, I was at my dealer too a few weeks ago)"
"wow I really like the redish orange lights in here, did you install them?"
"whats this, is this a 4 dr honda civic hatch back, I could've sworn they don't make these."

[SuperWagon502]

"Nice LITTLE car".

I get that all the time.

People don't say anything when I tell them that I take the car to the racetrack.

People think I'm nuts when I tell em I take it to the track, until I give them a ride in it.

[jdm_mp5]

Some guy said "Nice car..." then he went on to say later..."I have a thing for wagons..."

[jersey_emt]

I get the same thing all the time from friends of mine who don't know anything about the MSP.
Same exact thing here. The only thing that isn't stock on the outside of my car is the taillights (and soon the grill mesh). People are always asking what body kit I have.

Need For Speed Underground is awesome. I play it all the time.... but I don't see a car in there that looks anything like a Protege5.
I think He's talking about his MazdaSpeed Protoge....not a p5. (confused)

[c0nfus3d]

There's no way a P5 looks anywhere as fast as a Supra or M3.

well to the little 9th grader i guess vivid yellow makes it look like " a super duper fast car"

[ghetto waggon]

I honestly dont think the E36's LOOK very fast at all

and, if you dish out the money for a new one...it better look fast :O

My red 2003.5 is factory stock. Got a "what a cute car" from a little girl walking past with her mom. My buddy laughed his ass off, cuz he was telling me I had a 'girl car'. Of course, he's driving a beat up late model Dodge sedan. The boy just doesn't get it. Good news-I've gotten two spontaneous thumbs-up's from the college students here in town, and my wife has had several people zoom up alongside her to get a good look. Can't wait until I can do a professional quality buff and wax, except it will glow so well that I'll probably get speeding tickets while stopped at red lights.

[Black Majik MSP]

You are correct (flash)...here is one of the pics I was taking:

[pr5owner]

"Thats a nice civic" RAWWWAR!!!!! stupid people

[Minus]

i get all the time
random guy:"what kind of car is that"
me: "mazda protege"
random guy:"its just a mazda protege?"
me:"yeah, just a protege"
random guy:"so is it slow?"
me:"yes"
random guy:"well, does it have NAWWWES?"
me:"i have to go."
random guy:"alright catch yah later"
me:.....*evil glare

Girl 1: "omg your car is so badass"
Girl 2: "no fucking way, it has a playstation 2?"

Girl 3: "can i drive it?
Me:thought about it for a minute, she was hott "ehh, sure"
*she jumps in puts the key in the ignition and turns it
Girl 3:"is the battery dead? i think your car is tore up"
i look around for a second, there is no clicking or turning over then i look at her feet in flip flops sitting side by side in the center of the floor mat.
Me:"umm, your going to have to put the clutch in"
Girl 3:"Clutch? whats that?"
Me:confused "the third pedal over there, beside the brakes"
girl looks at her feet and the pedals and then over at the shifter
Girl 3:"OH, is this a five speed?"
Me:"um, yes sweetie its a five speed"
Girl 3: giggles "i don't know how to drive a five speed"
she says this as she puts the clutch in and cranks it and then she lets out on the clutch and the car violently dies because i leave it in first.
Me:frantically "wtf?"
Girl 3: "what?"
Me: "look, im not sober enough to drive and you arent going to be driving my car anywhere, can we not take your suv?"
Girl 3: "yeah sure"
*sigh of relief
Me: "alright thanks, now get out"

btw i was sober as i could be, but i just wanted a good excuse for her not to fuck anything up. lol and yeah i know it was a long story but after i got in my car and showed her how driving in a 5speed goes down, i think she realized that i was sober haha

[stdntDrvr]

tech at the ford dealership i work at talking about my p5:

"you've got the same motor that's in that ford zx-2 (escort)"
"you've got the same front-end that i have in my '92 escort"
"i call him 'FF' for the fast and furious" thanks.

all from the same fucking tech...

and then it takes 2 of the dumbasses to put on my prada spec2's on my mp3...and they didn't even line up the valve stems with the dots...wow.

[Togan]

ppl always tell me "bmw has a new seies same price as yours, why didnt u get that?" (pissed)

Puled up to a PetSMart in Mcdonough today on the way back from Macon, I was originally pulling up next to a Blak MazdaSpeed Pro in the parking lot and started asking the guy stuff about our cars. middle school lookin kid walk in mid convo and says
Kid: "Cool car. I like the Wing."
Guy: "thanks I like my spoiler to."
kid:" thats a mazda right? but what is this white car? Kinda looks like your black car."
Me " It's a protoge5. HIS car but slower, white and with 5 doors. Also calld a wagon."
kid: "Mazda makes a wagon no way! That's a Matrix."
both of us:" LOOK AT THE BADGES"

keep in mind we are both standing right behind our cars comparing trunks when the kid walked up, trunk lid and hatch down.

kid" Kinda looks like a minivan too. Oh well Cool car mister<MSP>, nice van dude."

I was lost for words.

[Rich03MSP]

lol
what a dumbass kid

[uclap5]

some guy in a trunk drove by me at mountain high yelling out "rice patty rice patty!!"

[SuperWagon502]

[viVid]

I had a note left on my windshield that said "Thank you for driving this car". I figured it was some tree-hugger or something... they obviously had no idea I was going to mod it :)

[Prodigy]

well, the guy in the trunk told me that it was comphy there.

After a week we bought the car, we went to our friend's house for a get together dinner. After I parked the car on the driveway my friend's father (doesn't know much about cars) came out. he saw our new PR5 (one thing I have to point it out is he knows that I have an RSX) and wanted to take look at the engine, so I popped hood and he looked a bit confused, I was wondering what is wrong he asked me "Why does Acura use Mazda's engine?" (uhm)

[Minus]

^^ lol what a dumbass... i used to have a honda and my friends dad told me that he didnt want anything that wasnt a ford parked at his house, i laughed at him.

[Black Majik MSP]

I was just leaving school tonight & this guy walks by & says nice car. I said thanks & when he asked what it was, I told him a Protege (what I tell most people). Then he says, "Is it a P4?" & was like huh? :confused: He had to ask me again if my car was a P4 & then I was like "Oh, no, it's a Mazdaspeed." (hand) I got a good laugh out of that one after he left. (rlaugh)

[Khoifather]

I was going into the car to go somewhere like acouple weeks ago, and my neighbor was coming out of car, and she said that my car is really cute and adorable. How many of you can beat that??? muAHAHAHHA....

[GordonJ]

I've had my car since August last year and can't really remember anyone commenting on it.
I hang out with alot of "car illiterates" though (i.e. people who couldn't tell the difference from a Pt Cruiser and a Toyota Echo), so I doubt they notice anything.
And while strangers don't ever say anything, I get a number of turned heads and raised eyebrows.

But the bees LOVE it. :P

[FoxPro5]

I have a vivid yellow P5 and old guys are always asking me how i got that color...like i had it custom painted or something...it's fricking hillarious:) One guy was just standing next to my car one day when I walked out of a store and he was like "Wow, them must be those fancy Porse brakes or something" and I was like, "Well not quite, it just spray painted them red, the calipers, that is"!(butt)

[SuperWagon502]

Had a little queer HS kid tell me today that b/c the new Pontiacs have red brakes, and that my brakes are red, that It's be a "good show of power".

I had to stop and think about that statement. Replying "Only if it comes down to burnouts, other wise I'm screwed." and walked away.

[imjustagirl]

Apparently I drive a "mom" car? WTF?? People always used to confuse my MX-3 with a Neon :(

[Mercure]

I drive a Toyota Matrix. Apparently.

[clownphish]

I get all the normal compliments you would expect a nice lookin red p5 to get ;) ..and the honda comments.. but this convo makes me proud :).. a friend who came back from an extended stay out of the country..hadn't seen my car yet..

me: "throw your luggage in the car"
friend: "is there enough room in there?" (2 suitcases and a carry on)
me: "uh.. its a wagon.. im sure theres room"
friend: "thats not a wagon"
me: "its a wagon"
friend: "thats not a wagon!!!"
me: "count the doors.. what do you call 4 door + hatch?"
friend (walks around the car, looks inside): "well *bleep*.. it doesnt LOOK like a wagon!"
LOL! Nice! Your friend deserves a big wet kiss for that one! (k)

Same here, I think 3 people have asked me about the color:
"Hey, did you get it from the dealership in that color?"
"Did you paint your car that color?"

It's cool.

But my calipers don't get any comments since I chose to paint them ricey yellow. :)

[wanger68]

"why is that car fucking up a nice mazda caravan?"

damn all you people and your newer cars... hehe

[GordonJ]

I got my first comment on my car today! w00t!

I was sitting in the parking lot of Meijer (food store), had my windows down, and this white van with 2 guys in their mid 20's pulls up.

Van guy: "Hey man...what kinda car is that?"

Me: "It's a Mazda...Protege5"

Van guy: "Is that anything like the new Mazda 6 or whatever?"

Me: "Well, same company...this is slower though..." ;)

Van guy: " *laughs* Looks real nice, bro..."


The conversation then got into them wanting to sell me some home speakers from the back of their van, so they were probably just trying to flatter me while trying to unload their obviously stolen merchandise.
Still, it was the first comment on it I've gotten from a complete stranger. So what if they were just "the fence" to unload some hot merchandise? They know a good looking car when they see one.

[Captain KRM P5]

"thats the same car as the Ford Focus"

DIE, just DIE

[mazdamobile]

The best one I've had was from a 5-6 year old kid at a gas station who broke away from his dad's hand and came up to me and just said "you have a cool car" (2thumbs)

[Black Majik MSP]

Apparently I drive a "mom" car? WTF?? People always used to confuse my MX-3 with a Neon :(
Then it's up to you to change that.

[clownphish]

me: my car is a sport wagon
friend: thats not a sport wagon, its a station wagon...
me: so what, its better than ur ricer (1998 nissan altima with stickers all over it)
Ahh yes, the good ole sport/station wagon debate. I had this conversation with my husband so now he's taken to calling it a "sportion" wagon. Nice. :mad:

[Mercure]

My god, I love the word sportion. Can I marry your husband? I guess I'm in the wrong state.

[imjustagirl]

Then it's up to you to change that.

I'm working on it :) Slowly, but surely. I'm also rebuiliding my wrecked mx-3 which is a project in itself. :D

[clownphish]

My god, I love the word sportion. Can I marry your husband? I guess I'm in the wrong state.
LOL! I'm sure he'd be flattered but sorry - he's taken! (sun)

[RAAZ227]

When I bought my MP5, the newbie sales guy told me...."it has a 2 cylinder engine....and ur..um.... (bang)


I was like... :rolleyes:

I still have to vote for "floss IT BABY" :D

[clownphish]

Agreed. floss IT BABY! is classic, simple, beautiful and altogether wonderful. :D

[wanger68]

hey raaz... did you let 3 foot johnson detail your car today? I saw it under the garage where he does his work... if so, does he do good work? I still can't get over his name.. hehehe

[RAAZ227]

hey raaz... did you let 3 foot johnson detail your car today? I saw it under the garage where he does his work... if so, does he do good work? I still can't get over his name.. hehehe
Yup.. he was detailing it today. He does a really good job. I been using him for 4 years now. Yeah.. his name is halarious! (lol2)

[wanger68]

sweet... I think I'll throw him some work every so often now... noone in my office had ever used him so I've never gotten any kind of review... but I'll have to check his work out... you do the whole shabang or just limit it to wash?

[upsman]

I get the "it looks like a BMW or Lexus". Can't say I take that in a bad way!

[wanger68]

I like the new comments you get jeremy... "dude, do you drive a pink car???"

[SuperWagon502]

Alot of my friends tell me this lately
"you could have bought a -______- but you got a cutie wagon MAJOR."

[supertalon132]

i always get the ur cars f***ing ugly. its my personal favorite at a light cuase i just launch the shit outa my car (awd). then i get the o shit face from them cuase they just got raped. or the classic "is that thing the turbo one" (with factory sticker that say 2.0 16 valve turbo on the side)

[supertalon132]

Alot of my friends tell me this lately
"you could have bought a -______- but you got a cutie wagon MAJOR."haha major and his cutie wagon. quote from the announcer at the track "i don't know what kinda car that is but it sure is a cutie" u couldn't have bought a cuter car though (winks)

[SuperWagon502]

haha major and his cutie wagon. quote from the announcer at the track "i don't know what kinda car that is but it sure is a cutie"
and then I ran a 17.3 @ 79 mph GO SLO5 GO (hand)

[Kauai Dave]

yup, everyone always ask about the front/rear bumper. Then they ask what else comes with it, and I tell them just as you see it. Oh the worst was when I bought my Racing Hart C5's and no one knew that I had these rims! And they're 19's! I finally took them off and put the stocks back on, and put the C5's on my RX-7 and now everyone is like: WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE RIMS?! Me:Uuuhhhh?! Duhh! I had them all the time, they where on my P5!

[GordonJ]

Some guy asked me today:

"Is that a volkswagen?"

"Nope, it's a Mazda...Protege5"

"Oh really? Wow...looked like a little VW for a moment...is that a dealer color?"

"It's all stock".

That last response always raises an eyebrow.

[Minus]

i get the "what kind of body kit is that?"

[Red Baron]

Best compliment I ever got? Two of my good friends bought P5's identical to mine after seeing/driving it. THAT'S how cool our cars are!

[chuyler1]

Usually the first thing out of people's mouths is

"Wow, your car is really.. .. ..BLUE"

[SuperWagon502]

Had a guy in a PORCHE of all cars up at a friends worksop tell me while he was gettin his emissions done tell me " Thats a pretty good lookin car for a Mazda. You like it?"
I told him "of course. I'd never buy acar I didn't like."
He asks "Do you think My son would like it?" And I had to tell him that in a ll honesty "If he can get past people tell him it's a wagon, He'll like it just fine."
The guy walks over to my car and walks around it and says "THAT is a WAGON!?" (boom07)

I said "Yep, nice huh,
But I'll trade you for that nice 2001 GTII you got there Mister..." (naughty)

[chuyler1]

So I decided I needed to wash my car yesterday but I was out of soap. I went to the closest place, Ocean State Job Lot (a department store two steps below Walmart and one step above the Dollar Store). As I was paying for the soap I was just making small talk with the the checkout girl about how I thought it was going to rain tomorrow but I needed to wash my car anyway...and she goes "Well, you have a nice car..." (pause, as I think how does she know that?) "...I saw you pull up to the store".

Last weekend I pulled into Hollywood video and a guy was about to walk in as I pulled up but turned around and asked me how I liked my car...I said "I love it!" of course and he mentioned he was thinking about buying one. I told him he'd better hurry up unless he wants a new Mazda3, which I personally don't like as much. He agreed and we both went inside.

My girlfriend made fun of me...these random conversations about my car with complete strangers happen all the time.

[rubixcubix]

About a month after I bought mine in 02 i bring it to the dealer for the free inspection, the only thing i had changed was altezza tails, i park it so the rear of the car is facing out and a sales guy asks me "what kind of car is that?"
I look at him like hes a moron because, well quite frankly i bought the car off of his lot. "its a protege"
he says "oh wow it doesnt even look like one, it looks way better"

thats one of 3 occasions where people working at the dealer (mechanics included) have asked me where i got my taillights

I have a friend who everytime he gets in my car he tells me he loves it

"your car is beautiful"

"my car would never make that turn like that!"

"Thats the meanest sounding 4 banger ive ever heard!" (stock ES)

[sgryzko]

My boss at work: "What does that car have? 210? 190 horsepower?"

[cbcbd]

these random conversations about my car with complete strangers happen all the time.Same here!!

Last one was a guy at a gas station asking me if it was fun to drive and the mpg I got. What a great conversation starter :D

[cbcbd]

My boss at work: "What does that car have? 210? 190 horsepower?"Your reply:
"So what is my raise going to be? 10,000? 20,000?"

[sgryzko]

Your reply:
"So what is my raise going to be? 10,000? 20,000?"
Good call. I should have said that.(silly) (yippy)

[YellowMP5]

"its a limited edition color" - salesmoron at gunther mazda in south florida when refering to the yellow p5.

[chuyler1]

It was a limited edition in 2002...but it was so popular they made more for 2003. They just wanted yellow for the commercials but didn't think people would want to buy them. When I bought my LaserBlue in January of 2003 there were no Yellows available in my area. But perhaps that was just some salesperson mumbo jumbo that I believed.

Dude king, yellow03p5, no offense really but I gotta say that is the most inspired misspelling of "threatened" I've ever seen: threghtend! (rofl) It's so bad but it works perfectly! I'm honestly not knocking you b/c then I'd have to play grammar nazi to half the people on this board, LOL. :D Seriously though, those wagon knockers are just peetards, they wish their ride was as sweet. :rolleyes:

When I bought my LaserBlue in January of 2003 there were no Yellows available in my area. But perhaps that was just some salesperson mumbo jumbo that I believed.I went to the mazda dealer during the 1st week the P5 came out. I asked about the Yellow color. I was told its was a special order color and to get it, it would cost 2k more than the red P5 I was looking at. I said good luck with selling the yellow ones like that. I told him if I really wanted yellow, I would buy some other color and spend the 2k getting it painted yellow instead of giving an extra 2k to Mazda. He was like, um let me see what I can do. I said, don't worry about it, I don't want yellow anyway. Then I left that dealership and went to another one that had a Red 5 speed since there was oly one in all of Omaha.

I was shopping around for dealers and was looking for yellows. This one dealership had none but the guy really wanted to push a black one on me - kept saying that the yellows have had problems with chipping and flaking. :rolleyes:

Idiot, they all have that problem :D

[anarchistchiken]

My single favorite story about my car EVER is as follows:


I parked my car in the Brunos (grocery store) parking lot and as I was walking in, a middleaged guy sitting on the bench outside said "Nice car." I said thanks a lot and walked in the store. I spent at least 15-20 minutes getting all my stuff and checking out and stuff, but as I walked out, the guy jumped up and ran over to me and said "What the hell kinda car is that?!" I said "Mazda Protege5" He got the most confused look on his face and said "Yeah, that's what it says on the car, but what kind of car is it?! I mean the proteges are 4-doors, right?" I took him over to my car and calmy explained all about the P5, MSP, and MP3 and took him for a very spirited ride around the parking lot. When we got back to where he was waiting for his wife to come out of the store, he just said "Wow man, that is an awsome car" and sat down. It was marvelous.

I get a lot of the Focus/Matrix/WRX shit too. I usually yell at em when they suggest the ford or yota, but just say thanks when they question the subbie influence ;)

[king,yellow03p5]

sorry about my misspelling im not the number one spelling bee in town lol but it gets me by atleast u all knew what i was saying but yea havent herd from em yet,

I got something similiar to this the other night. Some bartender chick i was waiting for to get off work and play with me, came out for a cig with me, and she was like "that's your car? Its european right? It sure looks european"

This was the firtst night I had my 4300k hids on though.

[eepr5]

some kid at a recent car show: "thats a neon"
there were 3 more 5's from our group parked right next to me, and only 1 actual neon in the show.

have been asked how I liked my matrix before (and I promptly corrected them)

the ones I like though are the comments from the dealer guys (who obviously haven't seen many modded 5's)

[rednecks_r_us]

Dealer guys can be so stupid. I got a free coupon for an oil at the dealership.
I was hanging around the parts counter so I couldkeep an eye on the car through the window. Any way I asked the parts girl about a price check on a MAZDASPEED exhaust. She said whats a Mazdaspeed? Their top sales man quickly replied, " Its a new design that Mazda is thinking about doing in the future." The time frame was April of 04.


Just last month I was at my In-Laws and their neighbor said that he liked my blue Ford Focus.

I dont understand how anyone can get paid to hang out around and talk about cars all day, much less a very specific and small group of cars, and not know EVERYTHING about every single one. If i was a salesman, I would know every spec of every car on the lot down the the cam lift and gear ratios, just to freak out the occasional kid (like me) that asks really technical questions just to piss off the salesman.

Everytime after I parked my 5 on the street,
people always asked me: Is that a really fast car??? It looks pretty fast to me
me: um.......

i STILL have people trying to CONVINCE me that my car is fast. my neighbor keeps telling me that his friend has one and that the car is fast and the security guard here after both of us watched a p5 being pulled out of a lake in the community after a drag race (see another post) kept telling me that p5s are fast cars.

[ES2k3]

Best compliment I ever got? Two of my good friends bought P5's identical to mine after seeing/driving it. THAT'S how cool our cars are!

HINT: call Mazda Canada... (thought). They might be pleased to know that..

[JOS3]

how could you not like it? "its such a sweet ride, all the cops are jealous"

[Kansei]

how could you not like it? "its such a sweet ride, all the cops are jealous"
they're just jealous because our sweet rides can smoke them. they only pull us over because they know our sweet rides are better. (lol)

That first one isn't photoshopped at all is it :P

[ghettobubba2001]

Some guy asked me one time what kind of engine i had in it, i was like i really dont think it matters to you, And also when i was @ meineke a few weeks ago because i bent a fork on my stock UDP, (I couldnt get it off) - they said low compression meant my engine was blown.... I was like ummmm, yea so my newbie ass went along with it and they convinced me that i had really broken something so that next night i had it towed back home and me and alejo worked on it.... It ends up that our UDP controls like the timing on our car so basically it fucked up the compression, we threw on the new UDP and everything was A-OK!. I drove back the next day, and said it was the underdrive pulley, you lied to me, and you wanted was my money... I sent an email to Meineke customer support- i am hoping i get my money back. in the near future. I, myself believed them @ first but then researched it @ home and realised our cars are dependant upon that sensor down there for timing and since the stock udp wasmissing a fork it messed up the compression.

[CTt3P5]

The best compliment I ever got was a coworker saying how nice my car looked, and asking if I got a body kit. When I told him it was stock, he was pretty shocked. His response: "Cars usually don't look that good stock" :D.

That was my brother-in-laws response when he first saw mine. And the first time my sister-in-law saw it she remarked that the previous owner put some 'big rims' on it....I am running the stock 16's.

IMO the P5 is one of the best looking cars to come out of the factory (first) and it handles sweet too!

[redpr5]

"its a limited edition color" - salesmoron at gunther mazda in south florida when refering to the yellow p5.
my dad used to work at gunther many years ago lol if you know about the driveby that happened there, he was there when that happened.

all the girls i know love my car. they say its sooooo cute (all p5 owners get that i think lol) and my friend liana loves driving it, and my friend lyss wants it lol. most of my guy friends just say nice car dude, or damn its clean (im just about OCD when it comes to cleaning my car lol) had a guy in a tricked 97 accord honk his horn at me awhile back. so i think its safe to say our cars get noticed

[Beemer_Killer]

When I'm in Boise, its alot of fun to cruise the strip at night just to get girls looking, then when I roll the back window down and my 3, 4, and 9 year old are in the back, they usually turn white as a ghost! ROFL


I also get asked now, "is that one of those new BMW 1's?!"


http://www.bmw.co.uk/images/bmwuk/mid/hp/mid_hp_1_KO_tall_FineGround_4safkkapax5eupdevtrdet buy_FGN_V01.jpg




No, I don't like BMW's, I eat them on corners. thanks bai.




I also get asked what a Familia is, by MP5 owners. lol.

But the best compliment I've gotten so far is by a group of people, all of you!, and thats most important, cause you all know what the fuck your talking about. :D Not just dumbasses on the street.

[InFlames]

LOL, I had one guy say mine was the same thing as a Lexus.

I had someone tell me that it looked like a lexus, I was like (boom07)

[thasilver3]

when i had my lancer i was at a gas station and i had 2 guys come up to me and said "thats an awesome looking evo you go there" um i dont drive an evo k thanks.

[awsmp5]

why do all the chicks think this car's cute? not that i mind... after i take them for a ride they don't seem to say the same thing tho. back when i had my axel back and a girl was sittin in the back and she's like "it vibrates so much i think i'm getting wet" (thumb) haha

and some of hte assholio guys tend to say "haha look at your protegay"... (nuts)

[Kansei]

People always ask me why I got the wagon... and I say: maybe I got it because it's more functional than the sedan, came with a roofrack, isn't any longer, and looks a lot better than the normal sedan.

Plus I think the proportions look better on the Protege5 than the MSP/MP3.. the front bumper is too tall for a car that has such a compact rear... it's worse when they take their wings off then it's really weird.

[anarchistchiken]

The P5 is actualy shorter than the sedan.

[Kansei]

The P5 is actualy shorter than the sedan.

That's why I'll never consider it a "wagon".. "sport wagon" maybe.. but never "wagon". When I think wagon I think of it being longer than the sedan, like with old volvo wagons.

[Beemer_Killer]

yeah, my mazda dealership considers it a " 5 door hatchback".

When I'm talking to someone about being into cars, and they ask me what I drive, I do love to tell them I drive a station wagon. They of course always take the bait and ask what the hell I'm thinking dropping the kind of money into a car that I am if its what their idea or a wagon is. Then I either show them the car or a pic of the car on my phone, then they usually drop their jaw due to their expectations being exceeded. Once I decide on what seats I want to go with, I'm going to get my girl's carseats reuphostered to match. I love having a family autox car. :D


And having a roof rack can get alot of looks also. I can't wait to strap a xmas tree ontop this year, as I usually have in the past. It'll just be more fun now that the car is tuned.

[Hy8us]

The reason people think its a wagon is because of the last window behind the backseat windows...

[Kansei]

The reason people think its a wagon is because of the last window behind the backseat windows...

I can sorta see that. Clearly a GTi or even a Golf is more hatchback-esque than our cars, but I like those little windows, it gives our cars a sweet side profile and improved visibility.

[phazed_mp5]

and also, i think saying "hatch" is alot easier than saying "five-door sport wagon"
