Hay! If you saw a Proton in the wild you’d know to stay away. If you saw an Ebony you’d always know it was hiding.;)

The rest is history. :bwgy:
Something similar happened to me - someone had just bought the last Proton and I was about to order a Foxfire when I got a call - the Proton had been returned - the guy's wife just couldn't deal with the color - I could barely contain myself!

Yup - Astral's are 'one bullet Barney's'. One pass & they got nuthin left.
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks,
It is the East and Proton is the sun.
Arise fair Proton and kill the envious moon,
who is sick and pale with grief
that thou her maid art far more fair than she ...
Sorry Shakespere - Rekin we'll never see Romeo & Juliet the same again.

Mileage getting near 48k, but with me in Qatar for a year, it probably won't get many more miles on it for a while.
I can't help it, this is one of my favs!

"I've been waiting for a new picture..."
I was wondering why you hadn't chimed in yet.
'Nuff said - if Scott drives a Proton then all the other colors are .... WRONG!!
Actually, when I had my '99 Astral and went to trade it in for my Proton (I just had to have that color), the salesman said, "Now remember, you have to wake up to that obnoxious color everyday!" All I said was, "It's ok, the color matches my personality to a T."
We pick what is closest to our hearts
Say what....

If I owned a proton...I'd never need to buy tires...just ask for donated donuts...lol. :)
IronMan's Rule :p
"Hey...why don't you pruneton VX'ers go back to your "ole yeller", dead thread... yuse bunch 'o' troublemakers! You don't see any FoxFire guys/gals stirr'in up trouble on dis here IronMan thread!"
Jolly - don't you just hate it when your own words come back to haunt you?:)
Go home to your boring, pastey colored thread.:)
I am the proud owner of a 2001 Proton VX (vin#1326), the only one with red and black leather interiors I might add, it looks sweet!
Regarding the red interiors. Funny story; I work with two more people (husband and wife) that "randomly" owned the same Silver VX each (yeah, I was as surprised as anyone when getting there on my first day of work and saw the two VX’s on the parking lot… what are the odds?).
The engine of one of them blew up recently and to replace it was more money that to sell it by parts. I talked to my coworker and we decided to trade interiors on that VX and we did... including the steering wheel, panels and knobs with amazing results… now, that is my own personal opinion. He kept everything usable for his own VX and donated what was left of it... Pictures to come... (By the way, how can I Up-load pictures on the site and on my profile?)

Hey Bee Sting,
Great looking ride. Is it your camera or was your Proton repainted? It looks brighter yellow than I'm used to seeing.
BTW - nice pooch too - I have 3 Golden Retrievers.
