    It was pretty fucking hot in upstate New York last weekend, and even hotter up there now. You might also have noticed that the car is black; I would not want a black vehicle with no A/C anywhere, even in Alaska!

    If you look at the other picture I found online, you will see that the switch has a little indicator light not unlike what Tacomas equipped with A/C have, and that the switch looks different than "blanking plate" on the car I saw in Syracuse; Given how sparsely optioned the car is (no tilt steering or power options), I think it might actually be a non-A/C car...

    Options? The only option I can recommend is NOT owning one.
    They are fun to drive, They are not fun to work on.

    I don’t want anything to do with a 6/8 cylinder engine that sits sideways in the engine bay.
    If you ever have to work on one, you’ll understand.

    Someone on Facebook told me that they can only go about 45-50 MPH, so you might want to think twice about using it off your property, especially if you're gonna use the A/C!

    I saw this JDM Mitsubishi Pajero in a parking lot while driving to a car show this morning and couldn't resist stopping to take pictures; I'm thinking that it's registered in South Dakota because it was just shipped here, and South Dakota is one of those states where it's easier to get a title for a gray market import...

    It's got A/C, and it's even a 5-speed!
