MRTEW, do you still have your Proton? I picked mine up in southfield last October and I haven't seen another one around since then. I am in the Downriver (Riverview) area and I get similar reactions around here. The only person who even knew what I was driving was a highschool girl in Logan's Roadhouse who said her Uncle had one in California.

You really can't beat Yellow for standing out, although I am getting a bit upset with all these yellow Ford Escapes running around trying to horn in on the action.
