Thanks for the comments. No repaint on my Proton. Just clean and a bright sunny day.
Dog is 10 years old. He was born in Texas, froze his ....bits off when we moved to Ottawa. Has more fur now!
2001 VIN# 1326 Proton NC USA own by Mexican (I know it's irrelevant but I think I am the only Mexican ownning of one of these beauties), red interiors (the only one with this option). Yellow Rocks!

Yep, totally irrelevant here. What a neat looking ride amigo. I may be the only polack here too, but it don't bother me none, just part of the family. lolQuote:

I've had a few little problems here and there over the years (new radiator, salvaged ABS computer from a junkyard were the biggies -- besides 1 serious not-at-fault accidents and two rear-endings)... but otherwise it's still in great shape after 9 years. Just put a dual tailpipe on it and it looks great! Thinking about a sunroof next.
Good seing you on here Grant - been a while!

Protons Rock
Check this out to see how high tech we are just by our color choice.

I'll tell ya, I have never owned a vehicle that has turned so many heads, where people shout out or approach me in the gas station or parking lot to say nice vehicle, to catch someone taking a photo (to be candid, the lift has a LOT to do with the look). Even my wife forgave me for indulging in a money sucking impulse buy because she likes the color. And its not the vehicle. I owned an Ironman a year prior.
Pretty well says it all for protons.http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/1400824387.html
There so (cough) cute...........lol
You sir, are not my most bestest friend no more.
But Protons are prettiest and get the most attention!!!Quote:

Yea I like the looks of your VX. Wish I could do that to mine, But would not get away with the offset in the wheels here in Pa.(Rules suck):mady: The first mod. I want to do is get rid of the 18" wheels and go with 16" with more sidwall. Just like the look plus better ride.Quote:

Amazing it looks just like mine. LOL Real nice ride!!! Welcome
Nice rid metalman! Beach pictures are best. :thumbup: Really like the carbon fiber insert too - is it a wrap?
Thanks! Yeah its wrap that I purchased from ebay. I wish there were more VX's out here in Hawaii, I think there are only 3 other ones on this island. Although, it does make it all more of a rarity and stand out. :)
Wish u would sell it to me! :(

Very nice looking Proton. I wasn't sure I would want a Proton but the more pictures I see of them the more I like the color. I have an 99 Astral Silver that I am in process of getting it back to a good looking vehicle.
very nice looking. maybe just need tires.Quote:

I replaced the front, rear, and t-case fluids right when I got it since they have never been replaced.Quote:
