Tried adding the cassette module back to my oem 6 disc on my Protege5 but found out that with the GROM audio box connected to back of unit, the MD/Tape functions are disabled. Pulled cassette module back out of HU, put it back in the box & added it to the parts shelf. Of course I prefer AM/FM/FM2/CD/aux/USB input/USB charge/iPod GROM options to just having AM/FM/FM2/CD/cassette options. I listen to FM or USB most of the time.

Left the cassette face in place of the blank plate like I had it before........

1989 Dodge Ram 50; For those of you who do not know, this is a rebadged Mitsubishi Mighty Max. It is very uncommon to see a stock one of these in good condition that hasn't been chopped up and heavily customized. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, as some of the decked out minitrucks are works of art, but to see a mostly stock example is very refreshing!

This truck was essentially totaled, with severe front end damage, and left to rot; However, it was a single vehicle accident that was never reported to insurance. As a result, the truck has a clear title; On top of that, the impact missed the frame and it was pretty easy to repair according to the owner!

Under the hood is an engine from a 1995 Mitsubishi Mighty Max; This truck originally had a carbureted engine, but it now has a more powerful and less temperamental fuel injected engine! The truck is totally stock except for the stereo system and the Chevy Colorado wheels.

I've not seen one of those in many years, what do you think those wheels came from?

 

Read the description carefully; I know exactly what the wheels came from!

 

With more than 300 Mitsubishi dealerships across the U.S., you can walk around or test-drive the latest new models.

Perhaps they can have someone fix their website - because the maps do not load.

I had a Plymouth Laser when I was in high school. My car did not have AWD but I pined for a Mitsubishi Eclipse or Eagle Talon At the time.

Absolutely no interest in any new Mitsubishi; Would love to drive the Talon though!

 

Kinda sad really. Suzuki and Mitsubishi today have zero street cred.

 

Suzuki doesn't even sell cars in America anymore!

 

always thought the center dash looked goofy at angle like it is.......
