Watch The Glorious Moment This Mitsubishi Gets Rescued From Its Icy Tomb

This Mitsubishi Lancer was left by Lake Eerie, New York, after its owner decided not to drive home after having drinks with friends. On returning, he found that his car had been entombed in ice. Now though, it's free to hoon another day!

Don’t even care because it’s not an Evo…

Fun story of the day: This occurred about a half hour from where I live… and that storm is a Class A example of why I prefer something with 4x4!! Cheers and drive on, K

since Mitsubishi shut down the prduction of Evo’s they are in danger of extintion so…. SAVE THE EVO’S¡¡¡¡¡ it’s like watching when green peace guys save a wounded or trapped seal xD

Only if there were a Miata near by… They could’ve used the hair dryers!

Jk, all respect for all cars.

That Evo is quite cool

Rescued? They barely pulled it out of the ice.

Seems a bit…. heavy handed.

If it’s warmed up a little weather wise and during the day a pump with as warm a water (not hot) as possible and melt the ice on the door and in the lock.

Once inside, get the engine started and let it warm up before applying gentle revs to get it up to temperature and let it sit and see if it warms it up enough after an hour or so for anything bonded to free up at the front.

Looks slushy, so as much warm water around the wheels so you don’t have do the risky pull it free nonsense…

Of course, if it is as cold enough to just refreeze water… yup. That.
