2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR SE

Proof that fast cars can actually save lives, the Evo recently rescued Voehringer from extinction. "I was cruising along the freeway in sixth gear --- the tach showing 3100 rpm, the speedo 80-plus mph --- when I had to quickly escape a Porsche Cayenne swapping lanes at 100 mph with two jet-skis in tow. Without a downshift, the car broke triple digits before I could break a sweat. This is a car that sleeps with one eye open. Granted, the ratio for sixth gear is 0.693:1, which does more for motivation than conservation, but it's an Evo --- here's to motivation!" At 15,000 miles, the Evo needed some motivation of its own, so we so we took it to Todey Mitsubishi in Ventura, which changed the Mobil 1 oil, rotated the tires, replaced the engine air filter, and changed the A/C filter, all for $213.26.
