Mitsubishi Cordia

My first car, and all the freedom and bad decisions that came along with it.

Not my photo. I never got a photo of this one, but it looked exactly like this. It was a turbo model but the engine had been replaced with a NA 1800 before I got it. I drove it through a fence and ripped off the electric fender mirrors. Sadly had to replace them with generic manual door mirrors.

First car

02/1996

This was my first car, and it had a pretty hard time. I got it (thanks mum) to get me back and forth to study in my first year after high school, where I didn’t know what to do and ended up doing. 1 year music performance class. It had a turbo scoop, and turbo decals, but the turbo was long gone, and the engine had been replaced with a NA 1800. The high/low Supershift gearbox was hilarious. It was a 4 speed with a second lever for high/low (power/economy), and when you were able to coordinate with a talented passenger, you could row through 8 gears!
