Here's a cool link of OUR daily drivers that made this month's Gearbox Magazine. One day the Outlander Sport and Galant VR-4 will make it in a magazine too.

Since a few of you have given recent compliments on my fiancee's DSM.

 

I didn't realize it was YOUR cars in the mag. I read the article, but I guess I breezed over the "our" daily drivers part of your post.

That's incredibly awesome, and the cars are sick

 

Your link is brokeded though:

Oh haha...I don't like to thread jack, so when someone mentioned on another thread about what our significant others think about our crazy car hobby, I couldn't help but mention our article since it was current at the time.

The link I posted worked when I copy and pasted it in the address, but yours worked by clicking on it nicely.

I really hope the OS gets some kind of small feature as well in the feature. I would definitely mention this awesome corner of the world if that were ever to happen.

 

wont let me open the article at work boooo!

 

Haha...the article is more about our lives more-so any car mods and whatnot. The appeal from the editor was that we are very active people, that share one huge hobby in a nutshell. Here's one shot that didn't make the cut...

 

nice!

 

Im not ashamed to admit, after reading the article, I had to go and google DSM. Being a former Land Rover/pickup guy, I had no idea of the merger of Mitsu and Chrysler to form Diamond Star Motors. Everlearning, this one.

 

You've never heard of crank walk? Is synonymous with DSM lol

 

Thanks my friend!

It's o.k. Most car makes have their differences. For the VW guys, there's air cooled vs water cooled. VR6 vs 1.8T, etc, and with 's there are the DSM enthusiasts, EVO enthusiasts, OS enthusiasts although not as big, but definitely standing loud and proud, and the bastard childs of the Galant VR-4 owners, with me being one of them as well.

There are even 3G and 4G Eclipse variants, as well as the other generations of the Galants. I've never been to an Outlander Sport Meet, but I can assure you, hanging out with DSMr's, are completely different than hanging out with EVO owners, who are even more different hanging out with the even more rare Galant VR4 owners.

Everyone takes pride in what they own, the rarity, or the commonness of what they have. I just get baffled the different personalities alone in person and on forums like this one for one car brand among so many in this world.


7-bolts are some of the most reliable out there! Meany.

 

If I could find a nice, clean DSM Eclipse vert I'd love to pick it up (some day, when I have the space and spare cash). I have never owned, nor worked on a DSM, but I've heard a lot about the crank walk issues in high-horsepower builds. As I hope you knew, I was just poking fun.

 

Cool read. My wife and I met thru our car club and still have our eclipses. Keep it a family affair and youll have a long happy life together.

 

Was this taken in front of Galveston's convention center?

 

Nice, I live in league city.
