2008 Mitsubishi Evo GSR: You Write the Caption

evo-gsr-velocity-555.jpg

Scott Oldham sent me this photo of the Evo GSR in front of the Velocity Cafe.

We offer you this: "My car may get 10 mpg but I drink organic coffee. My footprint is covered."

OK, that's way too long. How about "I'll have a half caf vanilla latte extra torquey, please."

It was getting late and we were running out of gas. I expect you'll be able to do better than us.

We'll post our favorite at 4 PM Pacific Time, unless I get the chance to leave early, then maybe you'll see it sooner.

Sadly it found the source of the mating call was a coffee grinder.

Leave. Customers are coming to you for their morning jolt.

Velocity? That Cafe doesn't even have wheels!

Thank God! Ubber-steroid coffee is ruining Columbia.

"Boosted. Caffeinated. It's all the same."

ergsum says:

05:08 AM, 06/12/09

The only CAFE Standards an Evo will ever meet!

altimadude00 says:

05:12 AM, 06/12/09

What?! No drive-up window?

Espresso and EVO-GSR: Two things that put froth on your mouth.

Which is more addicting?

Gotta have your morning boost.

Who knew you could brew rice into something addicting?

altimadude00 says:

05:31 AM, 06/12/09

Nothing natural about this hot brew from Japan.

In Japan, their cups don't come with handles.

ergsum says:

05:33 AM, 06/12/09

Whole latte love for the GSR!

altimadude00 says:

05:35 AM, 06/12/09

The Evolution of the word "addiction."

altimadude00 says:

05:37 AM, 06/12/09

Nothing perks me up like a dose of GSR in the morning!

altimadude00 says:

05:39 AM, 06/12/09

Do they sell hot wings here?

altimadude00 says:

05:40 AM, 06/12/09

altimadude00 says:

05:45 AM, 06/12/09

Coffee with donuts? Excellent!

altimadude00 says:

06:06 AM, 06/12/09

We only serve naturally aspirated here.

ahightower says:

06:07 AM, 06/12/09

That would be, "I CAN HAZ SPOYLR? PLZ??"

"Dude, where's my spoiler?"

altimadude00 says:

06:19 AM, 06/12/09

A handle would just spoil the experience.

e10rice says:

07:26 AM, 06/12/09

So...who ordered the coffee grinder?

And you thought NOS was a power boost!

Toretto's new hid out!

What? you thought i ran on 91 octane?

e10rice says:

07:27 AM, 06/12/09

Toretto's new hide* out!

ergsum says:

09:05 AM, 06/12/09

Scott Jacobs + Excessive Caffeine + Evo GSR = Hyper Velocity

vwthing1 says:

09:05 AM, 06/12/09

I wish there were a few more 'open' signs... I couldn't see any through the A-pillar blindspot.

I had too much blood in my caffeine system, so I stopped in for a cup.

santiagofdz says:

+1 on powell_jr's "caution..contents under pressue"

I propose:

-Torque does wonders for the cream

-Shaken, not stirred.

e10rice says:

11:54 AM, 06/12/09

!CAUTION! Contents are HOT and may cause burning!

NOT responesable for spilled coffee!

In an effort to go green, Donna takes the GSR to an "organic" coffee shop.

sanjojoe says:

01:00 PM, 06/12/09

I can always use a mid-day boost.

When the adrenaline just isn't enough...

The A is for Adrenaline. Its organic.

msdaisy says:

01:00 PM, 06/12/09

"Coffee? Where can I get some Redbull?"

"WARNING. Sharks may be present. Drive at your own risk."

"This shark, swallow you whole."
