The whole point of the following project was to prove one point.  The point being that green can integrate into our day to day life!

Setting out to show everyone in the Mitsubishi world that our iMiev is more then a “cute car”

This is Mel, product manager for mitsu.  Mel called me about 3 months ago and said “bro, we need your help” look up the iMiev .. my initial reaction was ‘ look up what !? ‘ I looked it up .  OK??? ‘What do you have in mind Mel?’, him following with ‘I need you to build it!’

Fast forward 3 months later here we are at MOD the Mitsubishi Owners Day event … You know how many cars I could have had this day !

Here is good friend Mr. Gates cleaning his stallion !

I didn’t have much to clean ! lol

That was until the LDG “Bang Bus” came to set up!

“C” one of our home girls at LDG and the completed iMiev

LDG has gear for days, check out Mike’s camera ..

And I was told that wasn’t reppin right .. So Scott did me proper ..

I was waiting for the guys at VOLK to set up but the I was also thinking about running !

One thing for sure is that even if the evo leaves us ..

They will never leave our lives … I love the EVO and I still want a really WRC spec EVO 4

I was riding around and about, there was a ton of great cars but this car stuck out to me the most .. why because he drives hard and I feel for him because I know I have done this before .. More then I would like to admit .. Boaters World buddy !

Lancers much GZZ

The MOD stage and “cute” iMiev but then in the corner was something I had to see ..

This was Mel’s project car for work .. It was so clean .. I might have to steal this from him soon ..

But what came after that car was the exciting part ..

oh yea and this ..

When I headed back to the booth looks like “c” got powend … With her LDG TAN this is why you don’t put stickers on sink!

Name droppin time .. The Ballade crew with out these guys and my favorite fabricator louie at L CON we would have never been able to get this car done ! Thank you ALEX AND MIKE !

This GUY ! aka the LDG MAN !!! lol Scott really took great care of us on this project we literally walked into the show room and made this project happen !

And this guy .. Eric, is someone to admire … You would look at this guy as your typical OC  guy .. OK well he is but there isn’t anyway you can not use the word entrepreneur when describing Eric, Thanks again for the support bro !

From left to right Scott @LDG , Kelvin @ MOdus headwear, Mike and Alex @Ballade thanks again guys for the hard work and late nights !

And our key players, Kelvin really got all our action sport partners into this project, Scott brought in the fam at LDG and Mel, were just to guys that love cars and good food ! But he did give us the car .. lol

This is one of many times that Mel was doing his thing .. Meeting with Co-Workers and Peers to tell them lifestyle cars can still be a part of the Mitsubishi, and we worked people like FATLACE to show you that it can co-exists .. I STILL WANT MY EVO4

Judge by this picture this one of many people in the office that now see that iMiev the green electric car can be a part of lifestyle and what we live for ..

In the end, my hats off to you Mel, its people like that that rebel against the rise and see to it that the truth is told .. As you GANSTA LEAN back to your office .. Know this, you make the impact to empower what we love .. Thank you ..

GREEN or not guys, its 4 wheels and tailpipe, I preached this when I was running NOS ENERGY DRINK  and COCA COLA and I still believe thats the way to run it .. Give it time and everything we yearn for, like speed and handling and etc, will come to all these ECO cars ..

We need to just be open minded to it and the right people will give us what we want ..

SO sooner or later ERIC is going to shoot the car for us CANT WAIT !!

And the iMiev will be at the US OPEN with LDG if you wanna see it !
