    Neither am I; I did not realize what a shitty area this dealer was in. I did not intend to drive these vans; I only wanted pictures, but I couldn't resist. The first van I drove, which was a 1996 Mitsubishi Delica L400 with a gas 3.0L V6, overheated on the drive...

    Good to hear everyone was ok.

    As for Mitsubishi, I’ve only driven 2.
    Both I owned. 1 was a 3000GT and the other was an Eclipse.

    I prefer Honda and Toyota. The best “car” I owned was probably my 2000 Civic Si.

    I would have NEVER considered a Mitsubishi before I discovered the Delica; I sat in a 1993 L300 from this same place at the New Hope Auto Show last year and loved it...

    Nope. Not on an open forum.

    It was road rage and I was not as wise in my youth. Sometimes just taking a breather and deescalating the situation is a better route than the alternative. Glad it only cost me 700.00 to repair (I know a body shop owner) and not my life.

    I stupidly opened the passenger door to make cleaning the truck easier earlier today, and couldn't get it to shut again because that pipe tweaked the latching system; Luckily, my awesome mechanic Pete was able to make a house call!

    The black and gray duct tape is a nice color theme on your silver truck. Seems somewhat deliberate. The warning sign is a nice touch..

    @ColoradoTJ
    @shakerhood

    My friend and I wandered the lot at CarShop yesterday; This is something I would consider buying to replace the Tacoma if it ever got totaled...

    2018 Buick Regal TourX AWD with only only 27K miles; I'm sure that the $30K they're asking for this car is a bit high, but I got to drive one of these when it was new back when I was detailing cars, and I've always liked them. Unfortunately, Buick rather abruptly stopped making them when they made the switch to exclusively making SUVs and crossovers...

    Does it have a 3rd row like the Ford Flex? If it's anything like a Lacrosse you wouldn't be disappointed. My grandmother has a Lacrosse and its had a problem free 52k miles except some recently discovered rust along the bottom of the rear doors. I kind of enjoy driving it and its actually a hybrid.

    But unlike an Outback it has a real transmission and not a shitty CVT!

    Those are the coolest Buicks since Buick stopped selling the Grand National.
