Thanks again,

The All Mitsu Cookout is only two days away. Woo-hoo! I just checked the sign up list and we have 151 cars signed up!! WOW!

We'll be using the FRS radios for annoucing prize winners. There is always the urge to chit chat with your buddies on these things. I'd love it if you tryed to resist that urge. A lot of people will be listening for the car numbers. We have a lot of prizes to give away, so we'll be giving stuff away during the whole show.

I've also gotten some last minute giveaways. http://www.rockauto.com gave me enough magnets for everyone. And they gave me a $25 gift certificate. Plus our sponsors, Brookdale Mitsubishi, LSE Performance, and JET's Customs all donated prizes.

Hope you can make it out to the All Mitsu Cookout. It is this Sunday and it runs from 11am to 4pm.

We are still on pace to have at least 120 cars the day of the show. Some of the cars scheduled to be there include the world's fastest full weight 3/S, the only 3g twin turbo Eclipse utilizing 3/S turbos and manifolds. Or how about an Avenger with a turbo 4g63 engine and AWD.

Its gonna be a great collection of Mitsubishis. Hope you can make it.

I've finalized the pricing. The Cookout will again only cost $5 for you, a guest and your car. That includes the car show and all you and your guest can eat.

To help speed up the registration the day of the show, you can Paypal me the $5 now. My paypal is cgendron@mail.com

A big thanks to our sponsors. Because of there help, we can keep this event cheap. Its probably the most fun you can have for five bucks.

The sign-ups keep coming. We have 84 Mitsus signed up now. I've made a few updates to the main Cookout page at: http://www.mn3s.org/all_mitsubishi2005.html I added the sponsor information.

Last week I also updated the sign-up list at: http://www.mn3s.org/attendees2005.html (we had 80 sign-ups as of last Saturday)

The sign-ups continue to pile up. We are up to 76 cars signed up. Thats a good 25-30 more cars then last year at this time!

I also wanted to mention our sponsors for the All Mitsu Cookout. Our main sponsor is Brookdale Mitsubishi. Brookdale has sponsored the Cookout for the last three years and the Cookout wouldn't be where it is today without there support. There website is: http://mitsu.lutherauto.com/Default.aspx Chris Cabe, in there parts department, is always willing to go the extra mile for his customers.

LSE Performance is also sponsoring the All Mitsu Cookout. LSE is a brand new shop and they have a ton of experience with working on Mitsus. There website is: http://www.lse-performance.com/index.html

Thanks,
Curt

One thing I wanted to remind people about... The All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show isn't just for flashy show cars, its for all Mitsus. Even daily drivers and not so perfect Mitsus are welcome. Its just as much about getting together for a big BBQ as it is a car show. So don't worry if your car isn't a "show car".

I will admit the little bastard handles better then any car I have driven to date... even a couple of WRXs I have driven... their tires seem to break loose easier.

But sorry for whoring up your thread dude!

Cheap, fast, reliable. You can only choose two... We all know the Focus is one and three.
