my 1994 Protege LX

just a little small thread about the history i've had with this car.
i bought the car back in 1999 i believe. it had 49000 miles on it and was cherry. it was not my first choice of car, but it was what i could afford. i think i paid about $8000 for it. it gone through so many revisions of itself. from econo car to race car back to econo car with style. ive changed the radiator 3 times, the headlights 4 times, the suspension 3 times, and many handling and body upgrades. i've put a lot of blood sweat and cursing into this car. i had an anxiety attack about selling it the other night. its crazy to get attached to a machine, most of us in this forum do though.

the pic of the car is from when i took apart the lifters to clean them and they would not reinitialize... had to buy all new lifters...
my daughter, who is washing the car with me is now nine.

the camping trip was in like 2006 or something.
the bumper i picked up in australia on vacation a million years ago.
so many memories.
yunvmyegt has bought the car and i'm really happy that it is going to another member who will see the value in it and not treat it like a beater. she has been a great car.
