it’s a white DS Lite! i think the post still exists in the archives, though probably sans the photos of the DS Lite covered in my blood. i was playing Etrian Odyssey! i wonder if that’s the reason i never finished that game
? :thinking:

also, i’m slow and forgot the VehiCROSS was a thing, and that that was the joke in Mikey’s post. anyway, my dad had a yellow VehiCROSS, like this:

for some reason, my dad got really into yellow cars later in life. also, he really liked Isuzu SUVs, which replaced our Suzuki Samurai after those stopped being produced here.

never saw a Vehicross in my life before, and feel like i have been cheated badly for two decades by now!

:servbotsalute:

Mr Regular, but a little more restrained. Owner’s got a fun story about acquiring the car, too.

SW20 MR2 vs Snoqualmie Pass downhill in The Rain, a review: Terrifying. Pumping the brakes going downhill into a turn knowing that weight transfer could swing the entire car around and not exactly knowing the limits of the tires, and being right next to a semi trailer. Well. it gets the adrenaline pumping. I probably exaggerate the actual danger. but being the smallest car on the road does cause one to have hyperawareness. Going up the pass it did great, I was watching to see if the temp gauge would go up from all the uphill driving the car was doing, but it didn’t go up at all.

that Mitsubishi Colt RalliArt Version-R is still available at that importer (which it turns out is a province over, but, oh well, road trip) and I continue to fawn over it :smiling_face_with_tear:

things I missed last time: the speedometer rather enthusiastically goes to 240km/h, it’s got an OEM CD/MP3/HDD/GPS head unit (I think it might be a Panasonic?), and an aftermarket rear badge delete

those Bronze Advans balance out the rear deck aftermarket cleaning (at least imho), because they work so well with the bodycolor
 such a nice combo :star_struck:

yeah the red and bronze work incredibly well together here. frankly I don’t mind the badge delete, I kind of like the idea of people being like “is that a fucking
 what’s it called, Colt?”

but the real question is why is it still there several months later? I feel like there must be a registration issue for it to be that cheap given I can’t imagine I’m the only weirdo with a crush on it
