Well guys I regret to say I will no longer be a member of the Protege community. I received the bad news today that the car is totaled. There is a very minor chance that I will be able to revive it. I'd like to thank all the guys and gals I have met on here for all their help and support. I think the only way I will get the Protege back on the road again is through a lawsuit. To the people who have told me that it is just a car. I say to you, that you have no clue. Cars to many of us become our children. I know I would do anything for mine. I have poured all my money into this car along with my time, blood, and tears. My compensation is not going to be enough to afford any car worth a ****. So it looks like I will completely leave the car culture. I just don't have the strength to start all over again. I guess I figured this day would come sooner or later, I just didn't know it would happen now. And to the lady who hit me, she will never realize how much pain this has caused me. Through the Protege I became someone I have always longed to be. I have met many many people who I have developed friendships with. The car brought me admiration and respect from my town. When in the car I became someone I never imagained I would be. It has helped me became more outgoing and confident. But again, I would like to thank everyone here. I will still be around from time to time, but don't expect to see much of me. I need to just stay away from cars. Hopefully soon I can start parting the car out. But that is still unclear.
