Somebody wiser than me once said: The odometer on this car is like the birth year of my last girlfriend...I know it was pushed back, but I just don't know how far. Today's next car probably isn't the victim of odometer fraud, but it sure looks nice for a 25 year old Mitsubishi.

The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 was a 4-wheel-drive supercoupe that (when new) competed with the likes of Toyota's Supra, Porsche's 911 993, and Acura NSX. It was a triumph of technology over temerity in 1994, but 20 years later the Supra/911/NSX have appreciated into the climate controlled garages of the elite, while the 3000GTs are still roaming pool hall parking lots looking for a good time.

I hate to rag on any particular manufacturer or brand (except for Lincoln...what is Ford thinking?!?!), but one of the 21st century disappointments has to be Mitsubishi. Lets look at their 2015 lineup and match them up with one of the Seven Dwarves from Snow White. Mirage -- Grumpy; Outlander-- Sleepy; Outlander Sport -- Bashful; Lancer -- Sneezy; iMiev -- Dopey; Lancer Evo -- Happy. Where's Doc? How did the product planners miss the most important of all the Dwarves, and they are going to cancel Happy after 2015 with no planned replacement. How can they survive the next decade without making any noteworthy automobiles? This wasn't always the case, and for a while Mitsubishi built some insanely complicated, but notoriously fast machines, like the 3000GT VR-4 -- and guess what? You can buy a used one for cheap.

The Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4 was Mitsubishi's entry into the free-for-all cage match that was the 1990s Japanese sports car scene. Nissan had its turbocharged 300ZX and Skyline GT-R, Honda the superb NSX, Mazda the rotary screaming RX-7, Subaru sold a few funky SVX and even Toyota got in the ring with the bulletproof Supra, but the 3000 GT VR-4 was special...different...an eccentric madman in the clubhouse.

Last week we discussed the Nissan 300ZX TT market and asked why the NSX, Supra & Porsche 993 have appreciated in the last two decades, but the 300ZX has languished in sub 2-year-old Kia territory. The big car missing from our discussion was the Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4, another high-tech, high-power and high-complexity Japanese sports car from the 90s boom. Today's example is sold from the original owner, features a shockingly low 30k miles on the odometer and is dirt cheap.
