ok you can call me dragon, or dr 4 gone, (xbox live everyone that I knew would call be dr 4 gone. man how I miss ghost recon island thunder.)


Ok so I have wanted to make my protege the pimpest protege out there for over 5 years now.
I raced it way back 5 years ago and withno modsI ran a 10.801 1/8th mile! YES 1/8th! not quarter!
Faster 60 foot then any honda (except s2000 and prelude) and faster then civic (2dr 4dr) or accord (2dr 4dr) with intake and exhaust.


ok so My Protege took a beating. someone got pissed off at me while I was backing up and opened by door. crunch goes the door and fender
Wife's dad backed into passenger side door and fender crunch
someone attempted to steal my spoiler off my car. nice big holes in the trunk and dented to hell


ok so pictures Right and left Side with damage
