Hi all, just got a Lazer blue 03 Pro 5 with leather, sunroof... all the goodies. I checked this site out while deciding on the car, found lots of info. Picking it up tomorrow, I can't wait!

Hi Mike 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!!

Welcome....congrats and you must be excited. I like the color choice. Bet you will drive for a long time when you pick the car up tomorrow.....i did the day I got my PR5 on 12/31/02.

It's a sharp car and I like it more than my sedan (especially with the leather).....

Yeah, it's a great car. A friend has an '02 Midnight Blue mica and she loves it. I have ridden around in it was amazed with the rear legroom. I always liked the looks inside and out, I had been considering a new car and with the reviews this car got, how much owners love them I decided to get one also. Every site I found about the Pro5 everybody praised it, hadn't had any real problems(other than the lack of power) which isn't THAT bad. I also planned mods to it before even buying it from the opinoins and experience of the members here. So now this will be the third UBB I frequent, along with Turboford(I have a 87 2.3L turbo stang) and Crownvic.net(I had the quickest n/a 5.0 vic on the board-until i retired it)

Yeah, I'm going to put a couple thousand on it in the next couple weeks, going on vacation on the 3rd.(and my commute is 150mi/day) This is going to be a long day at work...waiting to get the car!

I just got home from picking it up! Man it looks great! It's the only laser blue one I've seen in my area. Already got 75 miles on it! :bt:

Congrats!! Congrats!!
 
Awesome!! I've had my MP5 Midnight Blue for about two months.

Unfortunately, I've already racked up over 6k on it 8^(, but it's been fun driving it.

I can't tell you just how much more fun the "back roads" have become.

Zoom-Zoom! Enjoy

yea, laser blue is the way to go :bt:

Mike R June-24th-2003 06:18 PM

Yeah, I love the color. I've got almost 700 miles in the 3 days I've driven it. Got 29mpg on the first tank. I still can't believe how great it drives and how well it handles. I've gotta get my bills paid and start the mods :D

Padanky June-24th-2003 08:48 PM

Nice color choice!

wat the hell's that black and silver crap along the top of your doors???

Mike R June-25th-2003 06:12 AM

Padanky, yeah nice color too. I wish I had some more $$, I'd do the mazdaspeed suspension also. I also like the black paint on your bumper, it sets it off. I'd like to smoke the headlights to get rid of the excess chrome on the front end.

kenchan June-25th-2003 07:14 AM

miker- try some nightshades. :) www.summitracing.com

there are some japanese spray films that are not permanent
which you can buy at autofreak.net

Mike R June-25th-2003 09:40 AM

Thanks, I might try that. If I have some time I might actually do the headlight mod, but it looks like alot of work. And I really don't feel like pulling the nose off the car!
