After 10 years and 230,000+ miles, my '97 Protege' LX died peacfuly on the morning of May 21, 2007. She will be missed. The car started fine and I was able to drive it about a mile from home. Then, while sitting a red light, she just quit running and could not be restarted. I shoved her safely out of the way, then had to walk a mile back home and arrange for a tow. At this time, I do not know the exact COD, but she needed an engine and emission repairs. Besides, I was about to retiere her soon anyway.

I'm in Woodbridge, VA. BTW, I just got an '06 Mazda6!
