    i just took a road trip from ca to ga. it's about 3000 miles the lancer took it like a champ my wife and i drive 48 hrs. straight. with the coilover as low as they go it was a little rough, but the car was good. long long long drive.

    How would the coliovers do midway? I was told by a good buddy of mine not to purchase these. I'd be better off getting a nice set of springs.

    :lol: that Norcal for you bro....

    Glad to see you made it Travis. Sorry I couldn't make it to the car show on Travis AFB. I was speaking to the wifey the other day and I was telling her I wondered if you had moved all ready.

    well i found out the reason why there's not any lancers here. the nearest dealer is 73 mile away in Columbus GA. that's BS this is the capital of AL who would of guest that there's no mitsubishi dealers.

    BTW I'm 40. hey the good thing about not having that many Lancers around is that you will have a unique car that no one around got.

    You should open a dealer.... Mitsubishi auto sales are the only ones currently doing good....

    I did a 800km / 500mi stint a week ago completely without fatigue. I've been more sore getting out of a Buick Regal or a Grand Am SE (which has the least supportive seats this side of a bench). It was astounding. I doubt I could say the same if I had the DE or the GT. Took less than one tank of gas as well, even at over 3k rpm 90% of the time.
