Posted by 740 turbo brick, Feb-07-09 08:57 PM
We went up to Serpentini Chevrolet today and got my GF a new car. Part trade for her Saturn.












2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, 23,xxx miles, 2.4l 4 cyl with MIVEC, manual tranny. Sunset pearlescent paint. Rockford Fosgate system. Its a pretty nice car, makes me want to go out and buy a brand new Evo X.

I really like the interior on those.
Hmmm... I should lock this for having a misleading title. There should be at least one pic of the gf with the car. :squint

Dude, did you get that from the Tallmadge Serpentini? I did the inspection on that car before they put it on the lot about a month ago! You should have dropped in and said hello to me in the service department !!!

lol, I was looking for it too. I think the key was on for a few minutes before I took the picture, so it had time to turn off. It was funny though because when we test drove it and started it up it came on and I was like "My God, it IS an Eclipse!"

Hmm I dont know. This Serpentini was on Royalton Road in Strongsville. I asked them how they ended up with it and they said they got it from another dealer so it could be the same one. Tallmadge is quite a distance from Strongsville isnt it?

Either way I didnt know you lived that close to me, or even in Ohio at all.

Yeah they must have bought it from our store. I work at the Tallmadge Serpentini location...the Strongsville store is about 45 minutes from me, so you are pretty damn close to me actually!

I love the interior. I can't say the same for the body styling though. It's the exact opposite...Maybe I'm just biased. :P

lol. Hmm, post pics of my girlfriend with her car for everyone to see, which she might get mad at me for, or get banned from 2gnt?


Wheres my camera??

It's not like you need to tell her you're posting a pic of her. I doubt she'd find it anyway. And yes you may be banned for not doing so. We're fickle like that. :)

I drove one of the new gt eclipse and new gt mustang back to back one day at the dealer. I was impressed by both performance wise. But the mustang felt like a hummer wanna-be on the inside...just too...square. The eclipse interior, especially the seats, was awesome.

How's the 160hp 4cyl feel? faster or slower than a 2gnt?

I love the 2009 body update, and the SE versions were pretty slick too.
You do know the evo X has the new 4b11t motor right? Just saying. I tried to test drive on of those too but the dealer said they couldn't let me drive the $50,000 car for free... :-(
I love my car...
I love Horsepower...
I love reliability...
So why do i own a DSM again?

I know for a fact this car has DSM spirit now. Last night it rained at work, and when we went to leave it just kept cranking and wouldnt start. I was like "HEY, just like my car!!"

That engine bay looks even more crowded than ours. I didn't think something like that was possible. :P

Eh, i see big potential for a big turbo and an evo head...with some mivec in there...
I love my car...
I love Horsepower...
I love reliability...
So why do i own a DSM again?
