My 2003 Mazda Protege5
So this is my second prtoege5 my first one was a white '02 automatic that I bought with the intention of getting me to and from school and then things kinda changed (I ended up liking this car much more then I thought I would). When the Mazda3 was released I didn't really like it and with the protege5 going out of production I immediatly traded in the '02 and got myself one that I can live with for a while. Which was one of the last white '03 protege5's in ontario with the SE package that was in 5-spd. (from ottawa).
This car is about a year old now and slowly but surely I am doing things here and there. Being a student i'm on a budget so here it is after the first summer, many more things to come next year, no more modding while im in university...
