Seriously people? He didn't like it, why is everyone so butt hurt over his experience. I went last year and it was boring as hell, I wont drive down there again. The tour is lame, they don't show you anything that is actually interesting to see. The only thing decent is some of the free **** they give away. The funny thing is,last year I got an OZ wing that was painted and ready to install. I couldn't sell it for 20 bucks. Its no wonder they were giving away all that junk.

Flame suit off, who's got pics?
Where the hell is my flame thrower and rotten vegetables?

You like me lexat are a disgrace to the Mitsubishi community! I mean how dare you have an opinion that suggests MOD isn't anything other than a godly Mitsubishi meet. How disrespectful and pathetic of you... shame on you, shame on you for driving a cool car and thinking MOD isn't all that!

Wow joining in on the bandwagon is so much fun!





Joking aside, thank you for telling us about your experience last year

What the hell is an OZ wing? Pics please

to be quite frank about it the wifey asked me the usual question as soon as i got home, she asked "how was it?" and i answered by saying it was quite "boring" and i would have second thoughts going back next year. what i did enjoy was the drive to MOD with mark, don, and john. so if next year we could still drive together i would still go.

Yeah I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I'd have gone down in the convoy with you guys.
At least we met up and said hello. It was good to see you and Mark there I'm not sure if I've met don and John at the meets, if I have, I'm sorry fella's I'm useless at remembering names.

no doubt, often the road trip with friends is more fun than the actual events

No doubt no doubt. Maybe my solo venture was the problem.

It was boring because you're boring. There were some flaws, I don't think their events coordinator is very good. She just put the basics out there rather than providing a lot of hands on involvement for the crowd. The band was good, but there wasn't anyone gathered there enjoying them. The tour was good, but it is their standard factory tour. For anyone with a manufacturing background, it's amazing seeing how things are done in there. For others, it's just a bunch of blah blah blah. There's tons of amazing cars with unique work done to them. It's interesting to go around, meet the owners and learn the history behind the individual machine. But, if you're a shy guy, and just look from a distance, and not really interested in this kind of stuff, then yeah, it's probably pretty boring.

It's okay if you think it's boring. Please post your comments. Maybe the right people will hear them and make next years better. But if you use the wrong language, no one will really care about your opinion anymore.

BTW the PA system sucked. Something so basic can really put a dampener on the crowd's attitude toward the event. That should at least be done right.

My buddies put like 3 stacks in each prize and didn't win anything. I just had 2 stacks and divided them in each prize.
I came out victorious!!
