I talked to the sales manager about an 05 and we were discussing the SSL package. I told him i didn't care about a sun roof, or leather...but wanted the HIDs. he said, the EVO without SSL has HIDs as well....i had to correct him, and he still didn't believe.
He had someone go out and check, then called me back to tell me i was right.
Another story: before i bought my evo, i called a dealership about getting a new one(just before the 05 came out). He said they had 1 03 left on the lot. I said, so you don't have any 04s...he said, why don't you people understand this is a limited production car...they only sent em here in 03. I said, oh, so you aren't getting 05s either....he said, "did you hear what i said?" "they only sent them here in 03".
I commensed to telling him he was a f*cking idiot, and had no business selling cars. I said, let me speak to the sales manager...he said, I AM THE SALES MANAGER.
I had to laugh, then fax him over things that other mitsu dealerships were getting and tell him that apparently his dealership sucks so bad mitsu doesn't wanna send them any new EVOs.
Anyway, enough rant!

Figured that I would just find a Moonroof installer locally and pay cash out right. Quick question is the MR the only model that comes with fog lights? Oh yeah the dealer manager gave me this 10 minute speech inregards to modifying the car. He said I cant put exhaust, intake, etc on the car or my warranty is voided.....
