Nice video, but I wouldn't take Japanimation for a historical source.

Not arguing with the autoflap claim though.

And yes, Barefoot Gen is a very powerful movie. I would reccomend everyone see it. Anyone got a link?

I saw that movie somewhere at TCM, they were showcasing Japanimation (anime) movies like 3-4 months ago.

yea u could tell its a serious movie when the characters die. I cant look at cartoons the same way again.

Of course auto flaps on the nik i cant take seroiusly, plus i really dont catch anythin that showcased that ability either. They main point is that war is crazy(funny how war is a little game for us:lol ). War is pure madness people geting killed left and right, but there will never be peace.

Todays Mitsubishi heritage lives on as...

This car's engine and overall dimentions may be small but it will out-corner and out-accelerate other supercars cars 3x the price and 3x the power and weight @ twisty tracks. Lancer can accelerate and turn with super cars but it will be left behind at high speed (the 5th gear is only limited to ~140 mph)

Lan EVO's roof is made of alluminum:D

PS Toyota needs a new generation of sports cars, all they got is a POS underpowered MR2 and a cellica. They need to bring back the twin-turbo Supra!

Totally agreed!

I drive a Tacoma though, and have always been more into offroading than road racing. Nothing beats my nice little light truck in all around terms. I've taken Tacoma's places an f150 could only dream of (between close trees). Only better off roader (stock) in my oppinion is a Jeep, and I hope nothing ever changes that!
