First Test Drive...Very disappointed!?!

LOL...Well, got a chance to drive my first EVO today and ended up pushing it half way back to the dealership. The gas light was on when we got in it, he said "oh we'll be fine" So we take off, man I love the torque, seats well pretty much everything Anyways we start coming back and I floor it and it doesnt go anywhere, I was like WTF? Felt like the clutch was slipping (car wasnt moving) then it started to go. We get to the next light and it starts to die, I pull over and it dies. To make a long story short we pushed it about 2 blocks (busy street) and walked back to the dealership, another 4-5 blocks. When we get there the salesman is like "well want to buy an EVO" and laughs...They have a $9K markup, I say not for that price, so he tells me "I will give it to you for invoice, since you went through all this" So my 97 Eclipse will be officially for sale tomorrow and hopefully I can get the EVO in a few weeks

I have already been talking to David V (WORK's) We go back a few years from the MR2 Board. Anyways, Im gonna have him hook it up once I get it, I cant wait. Just thought I'd share
