Thanks everyone for the big welcome. This site has already been a huge help from fixing the blind spots to learning more about this car than memorizing the owners manual could ever do.
The abs light was off when we drove it but I did mention my concern about it being on in the photo and had their mechanic check it out. All is well with it so far, knock on wood, and no more light.
Is tonemonday the place where you can get the door popper? I will have to check again after this post. But I would love to go to the Houston meet if able. I am just not sure if I can and wont know likely till the last minute.
I have noticed the looks. I didn't even expect them as much in an ebony. I just think the protons are the most outstanding in looks. But even in my black, when I pass people who drive other small SUV's or those ones that are similar to the old station wagons, they start rubber necking as I go by. But the best reaction so far was when I took it to my son's karate school. He just started driving my old Rodeo, two weeks ago. And hadn't seen this yet. The first one of his friends to come out while he was getting his first view said, "Whatever thatis, it's COOL!" and his best friend who drives a full size bronco kept saying, this is amazing.
I knew people would like it but I really wasn't prepared for how much. Makes me feel like a kid with a brand new pair of sneakers. lol.
Also, I forgot to mention, I am pretty sure, and almost willing to bet that I have the only one in Grayson County. I drive all over around here, and I had never seen one except for an instant as one zoomed by when I was in Dallas. Then I had forgotten about it by the time I saw the one in that booklet.

I saw a Proton yesterday and then I found a member registered right here locally.(a non-active member) Now I am thinking I have seen this yellow thing sitting at that restaurant before and never really looked to see what it was. I don't eat there because I don't think great Mexican food has to be that expensive. Tastes much better when its reasonably priced. Anyway, I think there are at least two V-crosses in my area. Hope I didn't anger the proton's owner by making them no longer the only VX in town. heheh
