    So back in May, the wheel on my Grand Prix fell off while I was driving down the highway, destroyed the fender, doors and bumper and ended up bringing it to the scrapyard. So I picked up this 2003 Mazda Protege with 100,000 KMs for 2200 $. Its a pretty good little car, except when I put my foot down lol.

    Heres a pic:

    I dont think I will have this car for much longer, I miss the power my grand prix had compared to this.

    I highly doubt that.

    I'd say they were loose or way over torqued and caused the stud to fail.

    Who was the last person to touch the wheels before the accident? Wheel stud should never rust significantly, they are covered by the rim & lugnut. That Mazda must be a real let down in the power dept. I'd get angry with the power and thrash it harder in the end = same fuel economy probably. What car is next?

    Im pretty easy on this car, it is a fun car to take down windy roads handles much better than the prix but without the power highway driving is boring. i think i am either gong to go for another gtp or sa car i can "easily" turbo

    If you have a few bucks to buy & maintain a B5 S4 is really fun and you get AWD for them Orangeville snowstorms. If not, a B5 A4 chipped with exhaust & lowered is an amazingly fun car - I used to own one
