The local low mileage $10,000 DSM...

This exactly. Perfect timing to get in and get my money out! lol
I think both you and I sold for higher than we bought :D

Mine's been paid for for the last 15 years, so I don't care that it's worth half of what I paid for it. :D

I'd even argue DSM's are on the rise in value after they hit rock bottom maybe 2-3 years ago. Though I can't say the current community is growing or better than "the good ol' days" of my seniors. :)

Community has gone to shit almost completely :frown:

I think a lot of the OG's that still have these go to the shootout, I'm on the fence on if I can get all the things I want done by then.

The local scene is dead, at least until Swalchick gets another 1G. :D

No kidding.. I can't even get local DSMers to come to meets that are a mile away from their houses. :)

I believe it was "Ron". He knew Rick Shindley, and used to go down to Porkys when DSM people actually used to meet down off university.
Did the guy "Ron", Happen to mention anything about owning an Eagle Talon 2g back then? I wonder if its the guy i was thinking of, Heavy set guy, talks alot, has the stink of used car salesmen?

I keep seeing those pokes at people not coming to mitsu meets. Meets are not what they used to be. When we were all younger, we had nothing better to do besides hang out with friends a few times a week. Bit different now with jobs, school, family, houses to maintain, those with kids. The list goes on and on. I find myself with not enough time in the day to even get daily stuff done, let alone sit around in a parking lot for an hour with people I barely know. Most friends I still hang out with on here are over parking lot meets, and instead meet at restaurants and patios to enjoy food and their company.

Curt I know you are super gung -ho about mitsus, but not all of us have that passion to dedicate every waking moment to mitsus. I haven't even made a cars and coffee yet this year, which is on the list of things to get to one of these months. lol You have to realize that people move on to different platforms and the Mitsu community is going to only get smaller and smaller locally. Maybe creating a group dedicated to imports would open the gate to more people, or open it up to various makes. Myself and quite a few others who started off with mitsus/dsms are probably done with mitsu after tasting what some other manufacturers have to offer. The reason this site is still going, is because of us OGs who still come on here to chat with friends and talk about politics LOL. Otherwise it really shouldnt even be a mitsu site anymore IMO.

Im not sure the last time you made a meet that wasn't your own or a 3S event, this is the strange part. We used to have weekly meets and I dont think I saw you at any. Theres also proving grounds and various track events that people partake in each week, so its all about balance and fitting in what people want to do. /rant
