Mitsubishi in more trouble?

anyone read about the recall scandal? Mitsushi covered up 26 major recalls over the years and is being forced to take care of it now. The number is up over 160k cars and rising. Most in japan and overseas. could be up over 400k with all the recalls.

they are just digging deeper and deeper.

here's one of the articles

oh...and the price of crude oil took a sharp drop. So prices of gas should drop pretty consistantly over the next week.

I did some research and it seems that of course california prices are high for summer then start to drop around sept.

But this is a pretty big drop. July's average drop was pretty substantial, biggest in recent times. We should see a small drop with the news...not sure when. Not as early as this week I suppose. Probably closer to the end of june or right after the 4th of july. maybe we'll squeeze 7-10 cents out of it.

blah.. f*** mitsu.. i went to my local deal last week with a friend (modesto mitsu dealer) we checked out there evos.. man they were all scratch in some way or missing shift *****, EVERY SINGLE ONE had something wrong with it and to top it off as we left and walked toward my friends car there was a fat arese dealer guy talking to someone eles a leaned up on the car! wtf! not to mention the thugish rap playing hella loud on the lot.

there image has always sucked and its not getting beter, everytime i see an evo owner all i can think is "he got screwed"

dont get me wrong i love the evo but i couldnt pull myself together enough to sit down and buy one and feel confident im not getting the shaft... then again i didnt get shafted at stevens creek so idunno...
edgar,
