i also have a 1989 lebaron vert, and although i blew the tranny trying to do burnouts, i can jump it, and the top, and all of the windows will go up and down...
hehe, my back windows will actually go down (stuttering down), but last time it got stuck down, so i just keep em up now.

you car looks very, very clean, why dont you look into fixing it?

also, while i understand that this is a mustang site, so fanboy nonsense has to be expected, bashing cars that smack around most mustangs because you see ONE broken down, is a bit narrow minded...no?

i saw two boken down the day. one still had the dealer plates and the other was being test driven. my cousins retard husband works over at a mitsu dealership and says they pop head gaskets like crazy if they have bolt-ons, he is the service manager so he gets to decide if it is under warranty or not. just thought i would pass that along. next time someone races a modded evo, it might not make it off the line
Unlike Mustangs who do it completely stock? Seriously.

Corporate cheapskates at Mitsubishi have been looking through EVO and other forums for proof that people have been modifying and racing them at the track, so when one breaks down they can deny the warranty claim.

its not fanboy nonsense. the best car i had was my supra (rest in peices), and the celica. i happen to know people at dealerships, lots of people, and the general consensus is the new evos are sh!ttier than ever. and the eclipses did have brake failure problems, the list goes on and on with new mitsus. every car company has their problems, and every car is different from another, but when your cars are consistant sh!tboxes, i don't know why people would buy them. and it was two, both brand new, both with less than 2000 miles, both had head problems. the one being test driven broke all the head bolts, and literally blew the head through the hood. the one that was bought blew the head gaskets and a main cap. both stock. think of what would've happened if that guy was running more boost.

That's what I've always wondered about Taurus's....

Mitsu's quality is slipping because the company is on the fringe of going bankrupt.

LMAO... Ok, I've made two anti ford sentiments here already, so I'm not even going to tell you about the Ford Taurus, which both me and my coworker saw, being towed by the Ford tow truck, which was on the flat bed of a Chevrolet tow truck that was driving down the street.

whoops. Guess I already did.
