#1 of 335 Welcome Protege Owners! by KarenS HOST Feb 19, 2001 (7:47 am)
Please take a moment to introduce yourself and share with others about your Protege.   My name is KarenS and I will be your Owner's Club host. If there is any particular discussion you would like to see added to the Mazda Protege Owners folder, please let me know. I will create it asap! You might want to look at some of the other Owner's Clubs for discussion ideas.   Also, if you are interested in an Owner's chat here at Edmunds.com, I can get the ball rolling in setting one up! Club chats can be arranged for   Tuesdays: 5-6pmPT/8-9pmET, 7-8pmPT/10-11pmET   -or-   Thursdays: 5-6pmPT/8-9pmET, 6-7pmPT/9-10ET, 7-8pmPT/10-11pmET (The last time may be too late for East coasters, but is available.)   Let me know what time works for you.   KarenS Host Owner's Clubs

My name is Matthew Conheady. 23 year old Production Manager at a Translation company in Rochester, NY.   I own a 99 ES Mica Green with Viper Alarm and Remote start/lights/doors. Just added the clear corners. Plate holders are chrome.   I'm interested in customizing my Protege so it doesn't look like everyone else's green one!
#4 of 335 Third Protege! by speedypt Feb 19, 2001 (8:54 am)
Pete from Phoenix, but moving to the Windy City of Chicago very soon. My Protege is a 2000 ES with all the options except the spoiler. I have even done some moderate customization. My other two Pro's were both '92 LX's (one manual, one automatic...his and hers). The Protege is the best small car and has been for some time. It's time to recognize it for what it is, a Great Little Car!!!   Regards,   Pete

Alrightyy.. Victor in Tampa, FL   2000ES bought Dec.12/00.   No problems other than it was out of balance when we got it on a saturday... Green.   Hey Karen, i thought we had to have 2 members as "spokespeople" before we got the club.   as for a chat, no time really, but of those options Tuesday is the best.
#6 of 335 Hello & nice to meet you! by KarenS HOST Feb 19, 2001 (9:15 am)
Re: Spokespersons or Community Leaders - This really isn't mandatory. Some of the other clubs do have them, and if anyone wants the honor, let me know!   Now...what other discussions do you want in your Club folder?   KarenS Host Owner's Clubs

maybe a Modifications. for folks wanting questions on adding extra aftermarket parts.. it will probably be slow at first, but more than likely build once the MP3 comes out.   also, a cleaning/washing or something like that. best ways to wash it, etc...   just suggestions of course.
#8 of 335 Like Pete ... My third Protege! by mdaffron Feb 19, 2001 (11:59 am)
Hey everybody! I'm on my third Protege too, although not really by choice -- my first one, a 1992 LX, died at 28,000 miles when its crappy Bridgestone POORtenza tires hydroplaned and caused it to rear-end a mid-80s Volvo station wagon (aka "brick wall") at a traffic light. He was going 0; I was going 45. That Protege totaled itself so I could WALK AWAY from the accident.   The second Protege was also a 1992 LX -- and I drove it 83,000 miles without one problem. (I DID swap out those awful Potenza tires at 25,000 miles -- they were bald by then anyway -- and got some decent Yokohamas.)   Trading that car on a pickup truck was the worst thing I ever did. I traded that Protege on a 1994 Mazda B2300SE pickup -- a rebadged Ford Ranger -- and had engine problems nearly from the very beginning. But since I was upside down from getting rid of the Protege before I was at a break-even point, I had to suffer through with the truck until it was paid off. And boy did I suffer.   The truck was paid off last March, and in May 2000 I picked up my 2000 Protege ES 5-speed. Wow, what a car! I now have a little over 14,000 miles on the car and I love it more each day! Zoom zoom!!!!   Meade
#9 of 335 alright! Owner's Club!! by the_big_h Feb 19, 2001 (2:29 pm)
hi, my name is Hank. I'm from Falls Church, VA, and I have a 2000 ES in midnight blue mica (rare color I tell you, have only seen 2 other Pros running around in that color since I got the car in July). A good discussion I would be interested in is a modification board (maybe even divide that up into performance & appearance mods). Another good group might be maintenance tips & tricks.   I just took some pics of my Pro with my digital camera yesterday, I'll post it up later today in the Gallery.   laters   H
#10 of 335 Hello everyone... by vocus Feb 19, 2001 (3:02 pm)
My name is Paul and I am a 22-year old Data Specialist (for a computer software company) that resides in Baltimore, Md. I have a 1999 Mazda Protege DX sedan (probably the only DX in the room) with 37,119 on it as of right now. Daily commuter beat to hell on the Capital Beltway in Southern Md./DC everyday. Looking about grabbing one of the last 2000 ES models out there, but we shall see. ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!
