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

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.
