First thing first here. The car was saved from being crushed in only days. My mechanic is a "full-fledged American-made give-me-a-Chevy" kind of guy. So when he see's a little Japanese Mazda come in for a trade-in he doesn't think twice about it. So he lets her sit there until the Big 10 tow shows up. Good thing I came around. Here's what we have
1998 Mazda Protege DX 1.5 DOHC $500 (VIN says it was built in Japan, IDK if that makes a difference.)
210,000 miles
Automatic (I know, I know. A manual tranny feels better, but I have an F'ed up left leg...so it works great for me.)
Here she is a day after I picked her up. Took the front bumper off and re-attached it, painted the steelies black, and gave her a wash and coat of wax.
