Got Myself a MP5!

Friday August 1, 2003 I purchased a Pure White 2003 Mazda Protege5. Included options are moonroof / 6-cd package, roof rack, wheel locks, and abs + side impact air bags with a 5-speed manual transmission. I've got new card syndrom and have washed my car 3 times already. Lookin in to waxing it before Friday. Unfortunately Saturday morning when I took it in to have it washed and have the gas filled up the salesman I purchased my P5 from backed it up in to a Nissan Murano. I'll have pictures of the damage on my rear bumper soon. The damages on my car werent too bad compared to the Murano. Also, my new bumper is back ordered untill Monday and tomorrow it's being inspected by their repair guy and I'm stuck with a pos Mercury Sable *bleh*. I want my car back!!! Anyways, time to list my future mods.

Mazdaspeed Springs
Mazdaspeed Struts
Mazdaspeed Anti-sway bar
Mazdaspeed Motor Mounts
Forged Pistons / Rods

Pioneer DEH-P8200R Head Unit
Clif Designs CDX-10A 1500 Watts RMS Digital Class X Amplifier (Already Purchased)

Welcome to the club yo....I can't believe that your car already got into an accident the day after you bought it. I hope that the dealership is handling the problem.

Yep, they are handling it. That's why they have it right now. They're having their repair guy come out to inspect the damage and see if they need to order additional parts other than the bumper. Oh, I payed $17,600 out the door with all my options. Is that a good deal?

Most definitely...I got mine for 18,500 without the ABS and sidebags. You'll definitely enjoy the P5. What lacks in powers, makes up for it in style and handling.

Yeah, the handling is pretty awesome for being stock. Although I was quoted $985 for the '03 MSP Rims. I would prefer the '03.5 MSP Rims but I know those are well over $300 each and I'm trying to stay within my paycheck with some money left over. My bro whom I live with has a '03.5 Yellow MSP. It's awesome. Unfortunately they couldn't get me one so I ended up with this car. I love it. Tinting comes this weekend along with stereo installation. Looking at getting the rims in a week. Then I gotta save up for the tires for those rims and get them mounted. Anyways, time for bed, gotta get up early for work. Fortunately I look forward to working because I get that nice Central Coast beach view and weather.

I'd be pretty ******* pissed if some ********** crashed my brand-new car.

They better hook it with some free oil changes or some ****. That's just unacceptable. Make them pay for their stupidity.

Don't mind me, just venting angst.

sup phat, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have.

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
