my bro just bought another mitsu too, a 91 galant with the 4g63 SOHC. it was next to this rundown house that was occupied by people who quite obviously didnt have "real" jobs and just fixed cars to get money to get their next fix so they could keep fixing cars...and so on.
well, stealthpony bought this car for $100 cash and drove it away
the only prob is it didnt have tags, so I had to follow him.
On the drive back home I kept seeing little sparks flying out from under the car, so I fell back a ways to see if anything was dragging. nope. this was at night, so my headlights were on, and I couldnt see untill later that his exhaust pipe was slowly heating up untill I caught a brief glimpse of what looked like neon under the galant. yep. his ENTIRE exhause system was glowing hot, from flexpipe to muffler, all bright orange! when I shut my lights off, it was like I was looking at a car with neon.
Since we had to get home, he said, "fcuk it, lets just hurry" and we drove it the rest of the ten mile trip.
I now think of that car as the "gaylant" factory equipped with homo-glow
oh, and that 5th-downshift-second move has been used by my bro as well, on the freeway, he had it punched to go up a hill, and ended up limping home at 30mph in 3rd, the clutch looked like a cat that had fell into a blender
