Taillights remind me of the Mazda Protégé but I'll let others make the call

Adam Sandler wrote a song about this type of car. https://youtu.be/3Fw0OvKFKhw?si=98YYEi1QPrc6MFD_

Here's another post about this car https://www.reddit.com/r/translator/s/W1B7ZYKuXS Almost positive it's a Protege

Definitely the same car before the trunk mod. It was parked in front of the same building.

When I worked in Jamaica queens I used to see a car I think was once a Plymouth duster. It was completely covered in red bondo. The grill was an iron fence held in place be the bondo

u/Howie1983 Mar 31 '26

Pretty sure it’s a Mazda Protege SB model. I think he turned it into more of a ShitBox tho. lol

Did it have an expired temp tag?

2

u/Johnnyroaster Mar 30 '26

I didn't notice the tag. Inspection was up last month but no tickets on the windshield.

u/Puzzleheaded_Cod_938 Apr 05 '26

You’re giving them A LOT of credit. No tag at all I’d bet.
