Guys, I'm new here but I just found this post and it interests me b/c I have a dispute with Mitsubishi over this contest. I'm not at liberty to discuss the specifics yet b/c I have to make sure I can talk about it. I just wanted to let everyone know that I love the Evo and I got screwed over by Mitsubishi in this online Sweepstakes of theirs. I'm building a web page to tell what happened but I'm trying to build support for my cause... plus I wanted to bump this thread back to the top. Anyway, the site will be live soon so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up and remind them about this contest.
Peace

HUH!? Give us a heads up? Why even bother telling us if you can discuss $hit? A heads up is like a tease I want to know the facts yo!!!
Well good luck and welcome to the forum.

Oftentimes, making a subject matter between a large company and a private citizen open to public scrutiny forces the company to do the right thing.
Unless your lawyers told you to specifically not say anything, which they likely haven't... considering you are putting a website together.....You should spill the beans!

Real people win. I won the EVO from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Sweepstakes - I'm still waiting to get it. The judging agency has turned the paperwork over to Mitsu, and the rules say it can take up to 4 months to get the car. It's been about 1 1/2 months so far.
So enter - you have as much chance to win as the next person!

SuWEET!
Dood, you have just effectively spewed whatever potential tort you may or may not have with MMNA into a public forum. Good idea letting the cat outta the bag, son! I'd bet you're not the only one jumping on the litigatory bandwagon, now that Mitsu's let the 2F2F Ambulance Chasers out of the proverbial bag. Bet your attourney's considering working this case on a contingency basis based on some projected settlement value of mudslinging @ MMNA over the Internet vs. MMNA putting this issue to sleep and saving the bad PR. If not, your hard earned $$$ would be better spent on a EVO VIII down payment. Either way, I think it's time to quit sulking and get a life, or at least a diaper change...crybaby! Wake up and smell the bloody coffee: THERE ARE NO FREE LUNCHES!
