A little late this month, but here it is none-the-less.
The featured ride for March 2005 belongs to none other than our very own TheMAN. What can one say about Edwin? Well, for starters, he wrote the FAQ! I don't think there is anyone who can rival his part number skills. Edwin is probably the single most greatest contributor to the Protege community. Plus he has a kick ass car. If you haven't been flamed by TheMAN in one way or another, don't feel left out, because Im sure your day will come as it has for the rest of us. Enough on that, lets check out the ride!

About the car
Basically getting my protege was purely an "accident". I was going to buy a Honda, but then my Dad told me about the "MPS" (before they even called it the MP3). I then looked into it and I decided that I wanted to buy one after that. Due to money issues, I couldn't get the MP3 like I wanted, and settled with the ES. Well, due to that accident, I'm glad I bought a normal Protege and didn't jump on the "special" bandwagon....I could do things to it the way I wanted and make it BETTAR!
