    I was seeing double

    Pulled into a gas station (Snohomish, NW US) and there was another 4wd protege. Same color as mine, nice and clean and prolly bone stock. Before I could get out and ask him if he was interested in selling, or even before I could fire up my camera to get the 2 cars sidebyside he drove off. dammit. I kinda doubt the owner's on this list.
    '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
    '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

      It was meeee!!!


      oh god I wish it was me...I wish my car drove. although it drives quite nice when towed, the brakes are terribly stiff, and she doesn't accelerate worth a damn.
      No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

        Try the DMV, but I doubt they give out information like that. Maybe if you know a cop that knows you are a good guy. You could also stalk that gas station and wait for the guy to return. Hey - school's out, you could pay a kid $5 a day to hang out at the gas station and keep his eyes peeled for the car!

          Yeah that might be the thing to do, run a stakeout...It was a young guy driving, maybe just outta highschool, maybe has no idea how rare the car is.

              Freedom of information act means you can get any public record for free. Thats how I tracked down the guy that hit an ran me. I bet he learned his lesson
