Since the old thread got lost, I thought it was time to launch a new version of the famous "What car do you drive?" thread. To give it a bit more structure, I suggest (optionally) including some information:

MAKE:
MODEL:
YEAR:
LIKES:
DISLIKES:
FUN FACT/OTHER/MODLIST:
PLANS FOR FUTURE:

I'll kick off in the next post.

MAKE: Mitsubishi
MODEL: Evolution X MR
YEAR: 2008

LIKES:
Gets up to speed quick, handles great, looks the part (yet still is professional), best seats ever

DISLIKES:
Little bit heavy, satnav/music interface is not so flash compared to Germans, fuel/insurance costs, speeding tickets

FUN FACT/OTHER/MODLIST:
Got it for a steal during the GFC in 2009 since the 08 cars were piling up. Mods include HKS Hi-Power catback exhaust, Injen short-ram intake + Upper intercooler piping kit upgrade, upgraded horn (factory one was weak!), Pivot 3Drive throttle controller, GReddy Informeter Touch, Rockford Fosgate subwoofer/amplifier, RA OEM tail lights, various stickers. Recently got it custom tuned at MRT.

PLANS FOR FUTURE:
Boost gauge - just ordered an AEM 30-4406.
Probably going to hold off doing anything else since the next mod will have to be substantial and I'd probably rather buy something else. Who knows, maybe I'll go luxury next :S

haha it's none of the above. It's definitely not what you expect.

Anyway I'll wait until I get it before I post it up :) Not planning to mod this one much though.
