Wise choice man!

Tanuki 05-31-2013 01:09 PM
Is that considered giving it up?

stanm 05-31-2013 01:13 PM

Time any money into what? It's on stock suspension and shitty tirerack wheels? I guess vinyl decals are pretty pricy these days...

TOZER 05-31-2013 04:35 PM
I wonder if he's related to Hermione Granger

Brzetto 05-31-2013 06:04 PM
You are in a much better automotive situation now. Mitsubishi went bankrupt and I think they are slowly pulling out of the US market, every time I see a Mitsu I'm thankful that I don't own it.

tbwoodlee 05-31-2013 07:27 PM
Am I the only one upset about that Argento with the stripes in the background?

WillBRZ 05-31-2013 07:33 PM

Vinyl decals make me cringe.

He should include a chinese symbol that gives it dragon power, just like Johnny Ricer's cow painted civic.

Actually false. They are doubling their U.S. Advertising budget. No intention of abandoning the U.S. Market.

What was this thread about .....:iono:

Hated to see it go ..... but it was time to button up.

I might be missing something here....

But he's just putting it out there that he traded in his Mitsu for the FRS? Why the hate??

I was wondering the same thing. Live and let live, right? Trading in a car you love is hard. At least you have a great new car to take its place.

Carlitoz3 06-12-2013 06:33 AM
I feel your pain buddy!
But you have a better ride now ;)

A lot of people took exception to him posting about 5 or 6 different threads when it could have all been amalgamated into a single build thread.

I read the news reports too and I know what it smells like. Nobody buys their bland cars anymore. The Evo now looks bland and boring too, they took it's signature look and flushed it. It's nearly impossible for Mitsubishi to top this now.

3800 lbs 3000GT I have was the only good car they made. It was even better than R32 skyline. Like I said, they have become Mr.***** for a while now.

The Econo-Box of that evo is not nearly 1% of what the 3000GT look like.

Finally, let me clarify this, a 3000GT is different than a VR4. They are totally different Vehicle, different engine, transmission, drive train wise.

I do agree on a point that 3000GT is shitty, but the VR4 isn't

Back when I had 3,000$ to my name a 3000GT was my dream car, for looks alone. But I was looking at shit like Chrysler lebaron that I could afford.

Look where I am now rofl, not much better but at least it handles well and looks 1000x better hah

This is a joke right?

Sorry but still no comparison. Better than the R32? The GTR? Cool story

A VR4 IS a 3000GT just with the top of the line options At least top of the line for the 90's. And better than a Skyline? :lol: This is getting funnier by the minute. Yeah the Skyline is so inferior to the VR4 that it weighed 400 lbs lighter and still has some of the finest tech to date even after being out of production for 15+ years.....

Having owned an R32 GTR I call :bs:.

And after taking into consideration of some of your earlier statements I would recommend to everyone here :dnftt:.

Now that this thread has been :threadjacked: and has strayed way :offtopic:I suggest we all say :thanks: to the nice man before giving him a :slap: and moving on before this conversation turns any more to :barf:.
