    Mitsubishi engines and transmissions also appeared in a lot of vehicles, from Hyundai Excels to Chrysler minivans...

    I thought these looked cool when they came out in late 2005, but I've never really been in a fan...

    There's a duplex house about a mile from my parents' house; One unit is in immaculate condition, has a well-kept lawn, and has been upgraded with central air...

    The other unit is horrible condition and has a bunch of derelict cars in the yard, including a 2006-2008ish Eclipse that had been rotting there for at least three years! Shows you much people care for these cars...

    These 2002-2003ish Lancers featured factory-installed OZ Rally wheels (and I believe an aftermarket head unit), but they were literally all show and no go...

    All OZ Rally Edition Lancers had a 120hp 4-banger, and I believe most were equipped with automatic transmissions!

    Good point...

    I've heard the early Excels made a Yugo look reliable!

    Lol yeah I know man just busting balls haha. I do like some older models. The old Mitsubishi pickups were like a Timex. I did like the old eclipse and the Evo’s but man these newer models are complete trash!!! Every time I hear a Jay Gilstrap Easley Mitsubishi ad on the radio I turn that obnoxious shit immediately haha.

    “We’ll finance you for only $4 down and give you $5998 more than your trade is worth! But HURRY this deal ends once we help 163 people to a NICER NEWER CAR! I’m Jay Gilstrap and I am your dealer FOR THE PEOPLE!”

    :duh:

    haha.

    Around here, it's Springfield Mitsubishi, and One Dime Down! When financing a vehicle, new or used, putting as much money down as you can possibly afford is your best friend!

    I can’t say anything bad about their heavy equipment.....but that’s a specialty for them, like a John Deere Excavator, but farms out their smaller consumer products to literally, any breathing humanoid.

    Oh for sure. Your stereo is better than any factory unit available. Mine is pretty good, for factory and recording with an old craptastic iPhone.

    Down a rutted out dirt access road.

    @ColoradoTJ

    I don't know how the Mitsubishi thread ended up in there; I did not intend to have that merged (yet), but whatever...

    The more, the merrier! :)

    Charlie asked me to merge a "few" threads into this one.

    In September 2019, I actually fixed this problem by cutting a seatbelt buckle out of a wrecked 2010 RC my uncle and I found at a salvage yard!
