FWD Evo Revolution - who needs AWD anyway ?

Just joking

Member 1900hustler was hustled out of $24000 on a totaly distroyed USED Evo

Please if you want to buy a used evo - have a professional mechanic look it over

This member purchased a used evo from a used car dealer in TX

Came to find out it had no rear driveshaft - a welded transfer case and the car was wrecked, missing a whole bunch of fastners and misc stuff

The good part was I was able to have some fun doing burn outs and it was able to spin the inner front tire in 1st ; 2nd ; and 3rd and 4th a lot of fun

RThe totally insane part was that the car acutally came out decent tuning wise

Just a sad tale to share from my travels

I have a video when i can get it hosted

DAMM !

That was a crazy moment

I just want to say that I do NOT make a practice of doing burn outs in customer cars - but with the first and only FWD evo i have ever had a chance to explore and enjoy I had to see what is was like to have a SRT 4 moment - this little production was created with the customer's consent and participation

Anyway, - member 1_900HUSTLER is a super cool guy to jump out the back window and ask the words- -

"Was it Fing worth it ?"

My man - I dont think it was worth it ! Sorry a great guy like yourself had to me taken for a ride by a snake low life used car dealer who propogated that insanity

On a side note - driving a FWD evo is so much fun that I would almost condider to convert my Evo to FWD just to enjoy
