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!

Wow that sales manager is an idiot..Well, I just check mitsu.com and see that it is a option for fogs on the EVO 8..Maybe I will just try calling another dealer this would me number four..Maybe somebody can chime in with an 05.

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.....
Everything except acceleration, right? The stock EVO 0-130mh times are 4 seconds slower than a 99 SS.
