VIDEO: Autoblog reader runs down Mitsubishi EVO X mule on public roads
Autoblog reader Corey Baines laughed and told us this video was lame. While Baines won't be winning an Oscar his short film's production values, it stands as one of if not the only glimpse we've had of the production Mitsubishi EVO X on public roads being tested. Baines came across the car while driving around one day, and after confirming the boss was away for the day, hit the street to track down the EVO X mule with camera in hand. Not only was Baines able to follow the car and get some decent enough footage of it being driven on public roads, afterwards he approached its drivers in a parking lot who were very tight-lipped and made a hasty exit. While it's difficult to glean new info about the car from the video, one thing that's obvious is the giant rear wing out back that appears to be slightly bowed on the new EVO.
Follow the jump for the full video, which is the tastiest morsel of EVO X news we've had all year.
Thanks for vid, Corey Baines!

You should have car jacked them and conducted your own road test...that would have taken your vid to the next level.

Great job, but this reminds me of people claiming Bigfoot footage except in a car. That could have been a "JDM" matte finish Tercel with a whale tail for all we know. :)

Corey,
Great video - but you probably coud have made GOOD money if you contacted Brenda Priddy first. If you get any more pictures, you might want to think about that. I know someone who sold BMW pictures to herand he made 4K.

Can't say that I approve of shooting a video whilst driving, but he did do a good job considering the circumstance! Perhaps its time to invest in a dash-mounted bracket for the camera Corey?
