I got a new toy :)

I just picked up a 92 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 AWD Twin turbo. It was towed into my work last week with a broken front driveshaft. Too bad the part cost's $1,200 from mitsubishi and is on national backorder until god knows when. So I decided to call the customer up and offer him some cash. To make a long story short.... I picked this thing up for $1500 and is being towed to my house this weekend and im lucky enough to have a friend that has a extra front driveshaft. And its already in the mail

Nice pickup. I've always liked those. I remember always liking the mid 90's VR4, Stealth and RX7

That and their weak output shafts...but then again, AWD + traction = breakage. Good find.
