My new car to replace the Ranger.

[lownslow95]

So about a week ago, my Ranger had died, well not really. What happened was I was driving north on RT 13 headed back to my house after dropping someone off at their house. I started to slow down, then was going to come to a complete stop when my break pedal went to the floor. I was like oh shit...almost hitting a 5 series bmw. I get back to my house, noticed I blew a break line. I take it to my mechanic, to lazy to do the repairs myself lol. He calls me later in the day saying that not only did I blow my break line, but I'm going to need to have both wheel cylinders replaced (couldn't bleed them) and both axle seals done (starting to leak). I told him to hold off on them and wait for my dad to come home. I told him what had happened, and he was like as long as you're ok, thats all that matters. As for the truck, me and my dad had talked about it, and it wasn't worth fixing. The estimated total cost of repair was around $600 or so. Value of the truck was $400 more. We decided not to repair it, and just get rid of it. So I started car shopping and as of monday (10/18/10) I bought a brand new car, yes...brand new. It's no Ford...not even a domestic for that matter. So I went from this:



to this:



It's a 2011 Mistubishi Lancer GTS. Basically has the looks of an EVO, but about 130 HP less then one. It is a 5speed, with premium sound basically meaning it has an iPod hook up w/ what i think is a rockford fosgate head unit, not sure. Currently has 400 or so miles on it after a week of owning it. I know its not a Ford, and I may get flamed for buying one on here, :P but its what I wanted that was good on gas. More pics to come later in the week.

Hey, glad that your alright! Definitely stinks about the ranger but you have to do what's best for you! Jons sister has that same body style lancer in the blueish purple color and it's actually pretty cool so good luck with it!

[Stangman Jonathan]

hey man congrats on it and you can still come hangout with us....my sis got a 08 blue used one with the Navi......how do you like it? There's a ton of mods available for it including a body kit conversion to the evo which I like the look of.

[lownslow95]

So far I love the thing. Best $20K I have ever spent...oh wait...only $20K I have ever spent lol. Just hit 500 miles about 5 minutes ago. As for mods...I don't know what I'm gonna do to it. I kinda want to keep my warenty, so maybe just tint the windows and maybe HID's for both head lights and fogs.

Sweet! Turn it into a fast and furious car.......

[lownslow95]

Nah thats OK. I like it the way it is right now.

[Stangman Jonathan]

ah yeah I don't blame ya...it looks great stock....you are gonna love the sound package, I got in her car and thats probably one of the things she has over me.....eventually I'l get her to get a CAI and a tune because the car needs it to go but for now I just want her out of trouble driving lol
