Wow! congrats on becoming a proud member of the Evo family
I think most people would think you where crazy for doing this but being an Evo owner I completly understand why you would do it. And If I had to do it over again knowing how much I love my Evo I would do the same to get my hands on another Evo.

Congrats. That was a nice roadtrip story. I would done the same thing if there are some dealer that sell the car for msrp. I will never pay markup price for any car. Since youre from Irvine, check out www.socalevo.net. We would like to see you on one of our monthly meet.

I did a 600 mile round trip to get my MR. I'll be driving out to central Cali from SC in about a week with it. One thing I can say is that the car is much more civilizied on the interstate than I thought it would be.

Man, my 500 mile round trip seems like cake now - especially since I was in Houston that weekend anyway.

I see the gas prices were way cheaper than California. That must've been a blast! I've always wanted to drive cross country for the longest time. Time for an oil change eh Great story and great pics!

Everyone realizes that this is from last year when gas was much cheaper, right?
