I regularly see 3 or 4 other P5s in a week... but I do see a lot of other Proteges out there (likely since I now drive one I look for them).
The funny part is that in the past two weeks there are three Proteges that have started parking in the lot at the apartment near mine. I am used to parking next to another silver Protege, but the other three just started showing up. I don't think I have ever seen that many Proteges in a regular lot.

I've seen one P5 here in Murfreesboro, TN
and it's yellow. I've also seen one fixed up
2nd genration Protege. I believe it was a 95 or 96.
Not sure which. It was kinda riced out though.
Oh! and Ive seen a new red MP3. It looked stock. But very clean though. But other than those 3, I guess you could say
that they aren't that popular around here, unless our dealerships don't sale them. You usually have to travel outside of Murfreesboro to like Nashville to find cars like that.

Hmmm... Speaking of Mazdas....
I've only seen 1 RX7 here.
(Wish to see more, hopefully.)
To sum it all up, all you see here is
mostly souped up Honda Civics.
Ok guys, to me, Civics are just like
the Protege's without their mods.
I really don't think that they are fast at all.
Me and my brother raced one that was hooked
up in my bro's new Lexus RX300.(SUV)
We smoked his ***. But the new Lexus'
has alot ,I mean ALOT, of power.

I assume that they build Pro5's in my city, b/c the damn things are everywhere. All sorts of colours, even the new lazer blue ones. The amazing thing about it is that the Mazda dealer in town really really sucks. The sales guys are some of the least knowledgable people I have ever met (I had to tell them which cars were coming and when) and the sales manager is a little snake oil salesman.
On topic, I see one at least every day here, especially silver and blue, almost all driven by mid 30's w/ car seat (makes sense). The worst is that a buddy of mine on my soccer team has the exact same car, minus some of the minor mods I have made and the killer sound system he has. Two midnite blues parked beside each other looks pretty goofy IMO.
Canada just knows a better car than the States. Heh heh.

I saw a 2002 Protege LX today on my way to work...IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!
It was a white one. I really never get to see what a Protege looks like on the road when someone else is driving it, and the body just looks freakin' cool! I like! I like!
