    The original Mitsubishi Mirage was monumentally boring, but it was a much better vehicle than the current Mirage in just about every way possible; This is a 2000 model...

    This is a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo FQ400; Unfortunately, it was never available in America because of Federal/EPA emissions bullshit...

    The "FQ" in the car's name is an abbreviation for "Fucking Quick". No, I am not kidding!

    The Lancer Sportback; Not a bad-looking vehicle, but it didn't sell particularly well...

    I specifically discussed the 2002-2003 Lancer OZ Rally in the previous Mitsubishi thread that accidentally got merged with my MegaThread...

    Even though it looked cool, the coolness ended there! The car came with special OZ Rally wheels from the factory, as the name implied, and I do believe that it also came with a factory-installed aftermarket head unit and upgraded speakers; However, it did not have anything from the fabled Evo! Under the hood of this "All Show, No Go" car was the same 120hp 4-banger found in regular Lancers, and most had automatic transmissions...

    The Nissan Maxima has always been a great vehicle in my opinion, and my personal favorite would be the 2004-2006, because these were the last two years a manual transmission was available! 2006 was also the very last year before Nissan started using CVTs in all Maximas; After 2007, all Maximas came with CVTs and only two pedals :(

    This is First Gen (1980-1984) Nissan Maxima. Also of note is the First Gen Maximas were RWD; The description with the image (I got it from Wikipedia) says that this one is a 1984 model...

    The Third Generation of Maxima (1989-1994) was the first to be touted as the "4DSC" (4-Door Sports Car); This is a 1989 model, photographed in Queens, New York in October 2019 (not by me)...

    Most of the Fourth Generation Maximas I see are quite beat up, and a lot of them have significant rust; Here is a decent 1995-1996 Maxima, photographed in our nation's capital in March 2012...
