Check out my new ride.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I got a spiffy yellow Protege 5 today. My hoopty '91 Toyota pickup was beginning to make me nervous, especially with rainy season coming on. My dad stuck a camper shell on it when it was his truck, but that makes it near impossible to see to the rear. With the shell off it bounces and fishtails all over the place, and it’s just not really designed for someone 6 feet tall, namely me.

I’d been contemplating getting a new car for a while now, but it wasn’t until recently that we could really afford one. So yesterday we went to Hertz Sales, where they sell off their retired rental stock. They have really good deals there, and you can examine all the maintenance records before you buy.

But hell, who am I kidding? It’s a cool zippy car that corners quite nicely. I’ve never been excited about a car before, but now I can groove (sorta) on the daily slog to work. So I’m gonna take a little spin to the store, anyone want anything?

That’s cool! :cool: What color?

Uh, yellow.

My computer wouldn’t play that link for me, but I tip my hat to your new ride. It’s an odd name for a vehicle. As I understand “protege,” it means “a promising but not yet competent student.” Mazda/Ford has a fine line of products, and that bodes well for your new yellow Protege.

Hey, Protege’s are nice cars. Did you get a yellow one? I heard they’re faster than other colors.

I need a 100 pack of blank CD’s, a leather spiked collar, some Astroglide, a whistle, 2 bags of Doritos, jalapeno dip, a pair of handcuffs, construction paper, and a variable speed vibrator.

Very nice ride.

I could go for a few Slim Jims and some beer.

Thanks.

I can apparently fit 18 cases of beer in my new car, will that be enough? Although I may have to jettison some of the more… exotic items to make enough room.

Mazda scored a winner with that model. I see quite a few of them around our town and it is a nice looking car. The yellow color stands out pretty strong on the road. I hear women just love them too.:smiley:

SO I heard through the grapevine that it’s a yellow car. Is this true?

Congrats on the new ride! Sounds nice!

Rumors of this vehicle’s golden hue have not been substantiated as of yet. Mazda has refused comment to this reporter on more than a few occasions.

Damn. Are you still going out to get stuff? I need to add to my order:

Latex gloves, a hockey puck, the new 3 Doors Down album, scotch tape, 3 dung beetles, a 1926-style Death Ray, a 2003-style Breath Spray, 6 tacos, and 19 cases of beer (can you squeeze one in the front seat maybe?)

This needs to be delivered in a yellowish-type car. All other colors will spoil the beer.

All cars are black at night!
