Mazda Protege

Proteges outnumber Evo 10 to 1 as the car of choice for teenagers with street racing death wish.

hell yeah, I love that little car......the shifting is tight and precise and I love the close ratio tranny. But I can't blame him for going up to an EVO.......it's a better car for sure......just costs about $14k more

When I eventually trade in for my EVO or Vette the SRT is the one going......my wife won't let the MSP go for anything.....I can't blame her really.....it's a terrific little car to throw around country roads on the weekends.

it doesn't. i'm just trying to create some propaganda and mis-information that clouds the evo 2 fast 2 furious street racer stereotype.
