I've seen lots of newer ones but this one is an original looking older one.  I really like the older ones.  I know the newer ones are better cars in almost every tangible way, but the 1-3 is such a cool little car.

Evo 3's ? They're not legal for import until 2010 I thought. The I and the II are in now, I wonder if they just pulled one past the importers cause they look so similar.

 Is that one yellow?

 When the Evo 8 MR came out for some reason Mitsubishi did the press day for it in Vancouver so Sport compact car and a few other magazines were up here and tearing around Mission and the sea to sky. Was funny because I saw the car and was like "wtf is an evo 8 doing here" and then I saw the article later on and realized it was them. Was a gunmetal MR.

I like the later models for thier electronics, but then I think about having to work on them and I say "Bring on the mechanical ones"  :)
