Hi all! I'm a new member form way up north, and it is so cool to see many other Canadians on the forum. One of the reasons I bought my RA was that rally racing and Canadian winter driving can be quite similar.

Anyway, I am a recent convert from the muscle car world, in fact I was going to purchase a 2011 Challenger in beautiful Green With Envy, but the guys at the Chrysler dealerships were complete pricks. They basically told me that they were getting one fully loaded SRT392, they wanted 60,000$ for it, and they told if I put a non-refundable deposit of 5000$ down I could get it in 10 months!

Off to the Mitsubishi dealership I went. My second choice was a practical Outlander. But then I saw something painted in Rotor Glow. Now I'm broke, but very happy. This thing is soooo much fun. Way more than that fat beast of a Dodge. And to think the RA has the same displacement as the milk jug in my fridge!

Again, I am new to the world of foreign tuners, as I grew up pulling wrenches on iron V8's, so please excuse me for my ignorance and rather stupid questions I might have early on. I will most truly appreciate any help.

Best Regards,
Rotor Glow Ray

Yeah! Welcome to the club Ray! I sorta went throught the same thing as you , I almost bought a new Camaro SS for close to 50K. But I wasn't going to spend tha kind of money on a car I might be able to drive 6 months of the year. The Ralliart is the most fun you will ever have Legally and maybe sometimes not so legally LOL!

FYI I live in Winterpeg. Mb

Welcome! Happy to hear there is another Canadian winter driving RA out there. It's tons of fun to drive in the winter! Just be sure to plug it in, if you're in a cold enough part of Canada.

Thanks for the advice. I was actually quite lucky. I originally wanted a white one, but they brought in a rotor glow. After humming and hawing, I decided to take the thing. The dealership threw in free nitro filled tires free tint and free block heater for saving their ass. I guess these cars are hard to come by up north and dealerships are cashing in favours to get them. I know that my was brought in at the expense of a base lancer and an RVR. Soccer moms are buying those things like crazy!
