I'm going to assume it's sarcasm, her car: FWD automatic.... so its bascially a civic with just a little bigger engine... twisites for her? she's in a convertable right? that weight more then all of oprah's weights combined.

Although its silhouette and advertising campaign might suggest otherwise, the 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a poor excuse for a sport coupe. With front-wheel-drive and a softly tuned suspension, its driving dynamics will not induce enthusiasts to enter any street rallies. Rather, the Mitsubishi Eclipse is a comfortable car for two that happens to look racy in the eyes of those who fancy heavily raked body panels, but its low-grade interior materials, mushy handling and uninspiring acceleration are not cause for celebration. (autobytel.com)

I thought that was funny.

I searched for the last 20 minutes and cannot find 0-60 or 1/4 mile times of the 2005 eclipse, plenty for the 2006 eclipse (hey isn't it funny how our cars run the same 1/4 mile as a 263 hp eclipse? and their commercials are all about how fast it is, yet ours is considered slow?) anyway, so I assume one with 53 less horsepower and an auto trans would be WAY slower.

Bitter much?

The 06 has a bit of a fanny, if you ask me.

Typical woman - has to get the last word in but then doesn't back it up.

Mind you, had you missed a gear or otherwise screwed up you'd be haunted for life. Imagine her laughing at you in the rear view mirror as she pulls away. Now THAT would **** you off.

If you met her, you would understand.

well actually, you probably wouldnt.

The 06 does have a big rear end.

These taken from C/D's website. I personally hate Eclipses. Poor excuse for a sports coupe is correct.

You listed stats for the 2006 model. She drove a 2005. Still fat, though.

xrider01

good story! seriously, the way you made it sound, it sounded like it was my ex-gf!

now.....you need to end the story with a fictitional ending

fullsmoke

Oops ! Well, I believe the 2005 models are lighter than the 2006--the spyder version weighed in around 3300ish. Whatever though, TELL HER SHE NEEDS TO EAT LESS!!!

I think my fictional ending would involve her torque-steering into a tree and losing the car.

You should have asked her what was doing in a chick car.
