Ok, I really didn't but I would like to! My work let me take it for a joyride.

 

[ZoomZoomH]

[Micah]

hey what color is your protege?

 

[ZoomZoomH]

that's called garnet red, hence his screenname

I don't know...I really like your car now; that red color is great...I'd be plenty happy with that

Oh wait, I have the same thing in blue, I should be happy with mine...but there's that darn clunk Nevermind, that rx is sweet.

 

[clownphish]

Oh if it 'twere, it would be 'tweriffic! Don't mind me, Men in Tights on the brain... anyway! when I saw your car I was wondering what could compare because you have a pretty nice ride. Then I scrolled... THAT would be worth it. Have fun with your joy ride, prolong it as much as possible!!!

*mandatory DROOOOOOL....*

Hmmm........... I wonder if Mazda would let us take advantage of the "Loyatly" rebate for a trade on an RX-8?

Yeah, it's Garnet red. It was a new color for the 2002.5 model year. I actually signed the papers before I even saw the color(it was the first one we got)and I loved it. You almost gotta see it in person. It's got a bunch of metal flake in the paint.

I do love my car and honestly would like to run against an RX-8 when I get a few more miles on my car and bump up the boost. My car has more on the lower end but when that RX-8 hits about 4,500rpm's, Holy s***! I liked it but honestly wouldn't fork out 30 G's for it. I've got around 21 G's tied up in my car and It's almost just as fun to drive.

I'm not sure because it's a brand new model year car. My roommate is a salesman. I can ask him when I see him next.

Thanks for all of the compliments. Oh yea, I had fun with it!

 

[cjstringer]

That proteges color is sweet. Beautiful color. That's something to hold on to.

 

[1garnetredlx]

Thanks. When you look at a regular lx in the same color, it doesn't look nearly as nice. I really do like my car and wouldn't give it plus 15g's for an RX-8.

 

[Tonpow]

That's a very nice looking protege!!

 

[Tonpow]

Is it an LX? I see 4 lug wheels.

 

[CruzinAltitude]

You got me. I was thinking "Bad Ass!!" then my hopes for you just crumbled. Some day Gadget, Some day!

Thanks for the compliment. Yes it's an LX. I didn't want to pay the extra $1500 for a bunch of stuff I was going to take off anyways. The only thing I wish I had off of the ES is the four wheel disc and the seats. I think I'll get by without them though.
