Car #7: Apr. 1997 - Nov. 1997
1992 Mitsubishi Expo

LIKE A TURD OUT OF HELL


This is the only picture I could find of the car I traded down to. It was still a '92, still a Mitsubishi, but now it was something called an "Expo" which, with my limited intellect, I felt bullied into by the dealer. The truly painful thing was that I ended up only saving $100 per month on car payments: high-$400s for the 3000GT, and high-$300s for this puke green booger-wagon. I was so in the RED on the last car that trading it in was the equivalent of putting NEGATIVE DOLLARS down.

Anyway, a month later, I filed for bankruptcy! I made a total of two car payments on this thing and waited around for them to repo it just in time for the holidays. But in the short time I had it, I did plenty of damage to it, including a 3AM incident involving "rubbing" with some college gentlemen who decided it would be fun to try and run me off the road (ah, good old Bristol, Connecticut!). They all got out of the car afterwards, and one of them was carrying a baseball bat. I was lucky that my booger-wagon and I made it home in one piece.

DAMAGE INFLICTED: Bashed up driver's side; broken side hatch on passenger side; rear hatch handle rusted & fell off; got repossessed twice (once by Satan)
