Mitsubishi needs a redemption arc here in the US. The once performance-minded automaker now basically builds five variations of the same crossover. There was a time, however, when Mitsubishi made exciting machines.
Jake Plender remembers those days. In fact, he has a daily reminder of the good ol' times that were possible at Diamond Star Motors. You see, Plender took an old Mighty Max pickup truck and has turned it into a fire-breathing example of past Mitsubishi glory, making nearly 500 horsepower.
