off-topic... but, i think that the Mitsubishi Concept-RA concept is way COOL as far as exteriors go:

http://www.msnbc.com/modules/interac...,22641784&pg=1

there are many design elements that are reminiscent- if not directly lifted off the rx-8. dunno if mitsu is envisioning this as the next Eclipse or what not. but, if it weighs under 2,000 lbs, than its 200 HP + 310 ft lbs of torque would make it almost as agile as a Lotus Elise or a near match.

now if only mazda would do something like this w/ the kabura and toss a 3-rotor in there.

 

i actually like it, i think, i need to see it in profile

 

allow me...

i love that fire red orange color too.

 

Haha it looks like the Lancer thats out right now... Just with gullwing doors and a much beefier body styling.
But those rims... I like them alot!

 

^^ ditto!

 

Ditto? What the hell kind of a response is "ditto"? Doesn't a post like that belong in the LAX thread with all the morons?

 

^^ ditto!

 

^^clone / copy / duplication / likewise

 

looks a hell of a lot better then the current eclipse (more like an ederation of it)

 

i just found two funny threads in the west section (MPG and Totaled) lol

 

Question for the next meet Jan 26th

the meet at the church is for 11:00 am, our meet is typically at 9:00 am. What time are we actually meeting and if necessary what happens inbetween 9-11? (i was actually hoping to leave early that day, mid morning)

 

MPG quote in my siggy. I found it funny

 

looks MUCH better then the current version; I like it. The question is....will it be RWD???

 

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for my morning entertainment. ...and hilarity ensues...

Where is forumTroll on these threads? I bet he would have a ball

 

imo, the concept-ra looks light years better than the current or any past version of the evo and eclipse period. not even in the same ball park. (even the rear looks beautiful.)

the article said that that one is actually a 2.2L diesel engine, of all things. i was mostly commenting on how aesthetically pleasing the body styling is. i'm sure mitsu would work out all the engine-stuff before bringing it to market. but, if they did, that would be one hell-of-a head-turning car on the road.

 

I'll say the same thing I said when I first saw the current production as a prototype: If that thing isn't RWD or AWD...goodbye sales.

 

very possibly true jedi..how is the altima coupe doing by the way. they should drop that when the new 240 / silvia come sout (if its for the us)

 

dont be afraid to look people

Congrats on the new car Keith...how do you like the 3? A friend of mine really needs to lower her car payments and I'm thinking she should trade her car in and get a 3.

Sorry Erica about no more snowfl8k

Nice work on the calendar so far.

And I'm scared for tonight and I hoping my luck holds out with wind staying out my area......part of our retainer wall fell after the rains (about 60 feet worth) and about 5 posts of my fence are barly hanging in there. If we get wind tonight I don't think I'll have a fence in the morning.

 

Crud.....guess my luck isn't going to hold out with the wind.....it just kicked in big time I sure hope it doesn't blow my fence down and cause and accident.... This makes me VERY nervous!

 

Ditto!

 

cant you counter tie the fence back with some stakes?

 

@ anyone, what are typical charges to ship 4 wheels and tires? with who? (to wisconson 54601

 

You could take someone's word for it, or you can take a wheel/tire to the ups store by our house and get the exact price.
I had to ship golf clubs w/ a golf bag, and I just went in there to check the price before putting it on ebay.
That way you also get the price of the packing materials if needed.
They could also tell you the price over the phone if you know the dimensions/weight.

 

You could also try the UPS website, or check ebay and see what others are charging.
