Mitsubishi Notebooks

I think every gearhead needs somewhere to dump the build list, the parts you are still chasing, the next mod you keep talking yourself into, and a Mitsubishi notebook is exactly where mine goes. The three-diamond badge carries that rally-bred, get-it-done feeling, which is a decent thing to stare at before you start filling a page. This notebook measures 5.71 by 8.07 inches, so it slides into a bag or a glovebox without the corners bending.

I use mine for service notes and the running tally of what the car still needs, but it works just as well for a daily journal or shop sketches. The notebook is $29, it is printed to order, and it ships in 1 to 3 business days with free US shipping over $30. If you keep separate logs per car, there is a matching Mercedes notebook and an Audi notebook to line up beside it.
