Diamond Star Motors is the american division of Mitsubishi based out of Normal Illinois which built the Eclipse/Talon/Laser, Avenger/Sebring, Galant, and some others like the new STratus... It was acually called DSM up until 95 in which it was changed to Mitsubishi Motors of America. The Vin Stickers actually said DSM up until 95...

I know neons are crap and i have now confirmed that the 3kgt is just as much crap. So i'd have to say that riding a bike is the best alternative to the stress filled life of trying to own either one of those hunks of shit.

I can't believe Mitsu is even in business. How can they be with the shit they put out? Have they ever made money?

is that supposed to be fast??

For the dragstrip or for the track? SCCA has a class for Neons, not sure about 3000gt.

I know, you guys are strictly straight-liners.

Strap a ladder rack on the top of one of them and you wouldn't be able to get enough of it.

Why would you waste time getting vins off the 2f2f movie cars? Do you not have nothing better to do?
