i don't like how my EVO revolutionizes the road and how people are scared of me when it's performing properly, fully, and under control. they get out of the way as far as the eye can see.

My whole engine went nuclear... All you have to do to stop that is check the oil, and remember, it's a mean turbo car, running tons of boost... So it eats oil faster than you get oil changes... Mmm yes, those were the days... check the "Mitsu voiding warranties" sticky, that story... and the story in the magazines saying MSM_S2k... etc etc... that's my car
