Troll time... sorta

[The Digital Slacker]

Got myself into a 2003 mazda protege5. Manual 2.0L 4cyl that's pretty peppy. Cars a good chunk lighter then the svt and feels like a go-kart. 125,000 miles and it feels real nice.


Gets better gas mileage and is just as much fun. I am enjoying the usability of it this far and have a roof rack on the way for my pedal bikes. Very very happy with it so far.


I'm only semi-trolling because the svt is sitting in a garage right now waiting on a suspension rework (springs / struts /4 endlinks / aussiebar / subframe box / camber-caster plates) so that it will pass inspection. Once it passes I am dropping to absolute min coverage and not driving it until I have to. On to the pictures!

Nice! I was looking at one before I got the svt for half the price.

why don't you just sell it?

I'd rather let it sit for a few years and have it maybe be worth something? I got free garage storage for the next few years.

I always thought that was a sharp ride, good job

Very nice Doug!
I'm glad that you were able to find exactly what you wanted and glad that you are enjoying it.

I dont think the value will be going up unless you still have it wrapped in dealer plastic.

Dead sexy!! I love those cars. :drool::drool:

Me too, I'm trying to talk the wife into getting one soon. Like them more than the Mazda3, but I'd still rock a Mazdaspeed3. :drool:

We shall see, mine is in very good condition.
