Sold my 04 RS

Sold my 04 RS last week to a board member, so it went to a good home. The car was sweet but I decided that I did miss the creature comforts and it seemed wrong to start adding dynomat, and power accessories to an RS. I did take a road trip to Va for thanksgiving in the RS and we had a hell of a time on the backroads up there

The RS was my second Evo and I have to say that all the problems people talk about I have never experienced. As far as I'm concerned these cars are tanks and damn near bulletproof. It's silly to be able to run 22/23psi on pump gas

I'm not sure what's next. I'm keeping the c32 as my daily ride. I'm tempted to get another z06, there are some sweet deals out there. I've always wanted to try an STI but the motors seem so fragile. I may hold off and see what the Evo 9 has...last I read it has all the MR improvements. I'd really like to see and Evo with leather and a six speed that has an actual overdrive

93civEJ1, you shouldn't sell your Evo, that thing is sweet, I've seen your pictures... I definitely wouldn't trade that for a supra...

I've thought about that myself It's hard to find a decent six speed for a reasonable price though.

yeah 93, supras are nice, but wuite expensive, and no warranty without like the Evo(no biggie). I just cant see paying the same for a 10 yr old car as I did for my Evo right now, so I chose the Evo. I think alot of us Evo owners contemplated the Supra before.

i think the price on them is worth it, i love my car, but i hate to say it but this car has no warranty from the time it is driven off of the carlot. A supra is one of the only car's id get rid of my car for and im working on it, but as of right now I still have the Evo.
