Has anyone hit 100,000 yet on their 5? I think there should be prizes for 100, 150, 200 etc.

word...I have just over 90,000 on mine right now. I would have already been over 100,000, but I moved closer to work and I have an old 323 that I try and drive as much as possible. Right now the 323 needs a clutch so the Pro5 is getting driven. It won't be long now guys. Prizes would be cool.

Prizes would be good, but you guys would have to get a pool going or something. Unless a vendor wanted to donate a prize?

LinuxRacr's mp3 is getting up there, btw.

I thought this was just for Pro5's? Anyway, he had a whole year head start. Linux definetly gets the award for most engine swaps and probably highest milage turbo Protege.(blowup)

Lisa, I used to work in Durham and live in High Point. 120 miles round trip everyday and I was taking road trips almost every weekend which added up to well over 1,000 miles a week. The first weekend I owned the car I drove it to North Hampton, Mass. and back to pick up a new motorcycle. It also went to Atlanta twice last year and DC twice.(drive)

2001 Mazda protege 5 with 333,000 miles on it. It is still a daily driver of at least 125 miles daily and still going strong. Always turns over on first try.

damn bbl. nice. mine is at 114k almost turning 115k. Just put 3 of 4 new tires on the car. 10/32 tread and the driver rear is at 4/32 so ill replace that next month. I can expect better gas mileage now.

OCC: Dbl, what engine work has been done to have that car go for so long?

How's your car for rust ???

My car doesn't burn any oil either... way better than my last car.

Me and my buddies weren't too focused on maintenance though...

Planning to do the same with my car.

I just wished the scrapers would have sold me the protege5 in Yellow that they had at the yard... I looked really really really hard to find rust, and failed.
