    October 2010 ROTM - Cee1481

    This month we had a good generational representation as our very own Dan-[Sac] said. We had Mazdaspd2008 with his 2008 speed3(who'd have guessed? lol) Cee with his outstanding BG and Mcrumble with his Perfect BF GTX. In the end Cee pulled far ahead with a large percentage of the votes.

    Without further ado here it is


    Cee1481

    My Protégé was purchased by my older brother back in 1996. In 1998 he got a better paying job and decided to buy a VW(big mistake) so I took over the payments. Even though I had a car I hated, it was the easiest way for me to buy a car without a down payment. After a few month of owning the car I started going to hangouts, one brave night (lol) I decided to race the car. (Completely stock) I lined up against a white B13 Sentra SE-R with intake and headers, before the night was done I handed that guy 3 losses. I called it “love at first race”
    The life I now live is a result of this car. In my younger days, Instead of clubbing I went to hangouts, instead of sneakers and clothes I bought performance parts, Instead of drinking I bought race gas, and so on and so on. If you went anywhere I’m known in South Florida, I would be described as Protégé Carlos. Most of my friends are people I’ve meet because of this car. But most importantly this car sparked a chain of events through people that gave me my beautiful 7 month old daughter, you can't put a price on that and one day i want her to take me for a spin in it. I love this car like an old dog you had as a childhood friend.

                          Haha, thanks for the shoutout dude!! I'm with you about the forums though, normally they're full of a bunch of assholes who don't know anything... but not CP, you guys know your stuff and are a bunch of chill guys, always willing to help out.

                          As for the voting... you'll never know ;D (unless a mod tells you)

                            haha, I didn't set it to where the individual votes are visible. Each person only knows who they voted for and we will keep it at that unless you wish to disclose your vote.
