Evos at the Chicago Auto Show

Red MR, Grey MR and Electric Blue. The show is HUGE this year, taking up both sides of McCormick place. It's gonna be like Disney pretty soon where it will take two days to see it all. I was there for two hours this morning and I only saw the side with and the Big Three. Most of the Euros are on the other side. I will report more tomorrow.

It is a good show this year. What's even better is that I get to go in early before the general public gets to since I am working the SCCA booth. The Mitsu display is pretty nice. I went there to check it out and spent about 3 hours talking to some of the reps from Mitsubishi and a guy that want sto but an EVO. One of the reps told me that I know more about the EVO than the people working the booth, and that they should hire me.

Did anyone see the new Lancer comercial they were showing at the booth?

First they showed a Lancer and were talking about the engine, features, etc . . and the text was moving real slow, then it said something like if something more primal is your style you can get the EVO MR Edition, and they started listing the features, but the text was moving a lot fater.

It also said something like, The Mitsubishi Evolution, part car, part astronaut training!

I was there on friday for 5 hours, I plan to go back again because I didnt finish looking at all the cars :P

Anyways, was anyone at the scca booth on friday? I chatted with 3 guys there, wondering if anyone from here was there.

I missed the section where you get to drive the jeep on the fake hill but I got to crash at 7mph in the CPD booth. Fun, but damn 7mph feels faster
