Can't you just re-aim the lights?

So a couple questions. As asked before, does anyone know of any Mazda/Mazdaspeed Protege die-cast models or hotwheels for sale anywhere?

Secondly, Kansei, how dark is that tint on your P5?

Sorry to double post, and not that we need another car website to go to but I was thrilled to see that my car made it in the Garage. I was excited to say the least. Of course, it's probably now big deal. They were probably just like " Have we gotten one of these on here yet?" "Ummm no... it's orange." "Looks like he might've done that paint job himself, it's a stupid *** color." "Alright put him on."

here's the link:
http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/your_g...ars/5495.shtml

Also, I was thinking some of you should post yours on there. It's free and we could show him that Protege's are actually an honest car. Hell, plug this website in there.

Also, go check out his garage and look at the Ford Shogun. (It's a Festiva) They only made 7 in the world. He drives it. It's actually a sweet little ride.

It's a 30% film, so if you measured the tint with a meter it's probably like 27% --not legal where I'm from (CT), but I'm only in CT a few days each year. It's also illegal where I live the rest of the year (NY).. they don't allow ANY tint on the front windows at all.

the rear hatch window and moonroof are 20% though.

And yeah there's the p5 hotwheels-type car.. it's not officially licensed but it's really close. I just can't remember what the name of it was.

Well the model I want would be like, in a glass case type of deal. My dad used to run an old Datsun 240Z in an Orange color and he found this unmatched detail of a model that put him back a couple hundred bucks but it's flawless. I mean, the tires are real rubber, the engine bay looks just like the real deal, and the seats are actual cloth. I mean it's awesome. That's really what I'm aiming for. Thanks though. Where did you find this at?

Also, where can you find good prices for front glass on the MSP. Some little bastard flung rocks on my way back from Columbus GA last weekend and this is what I ended up with...Name:  MSPPhotos027.jpg

Naked lady fuzzy dice?

Many insurance policies replace windshields w/o a deductible.

You don't like my fuzzy dice? Insurance might cover that? If they do, it'll affect my rates I'm sure though...

I don't think so. They'll just ask where it happened, if indeed you're covered, so they can factor it in to their statistical models.

You don't see fuzzy dice that often anymore. =P

I assumed everyone had zero deductible glass coverage.. isn't it pretty standard?

Make SURE they give you MSP glass and not the pedestrian glass from the other Proteges. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. It's lighter (again, totally serious)!
