Congrats and welcome back! Are you the one who bought that red Evo that was beat to hell by that backwards mommy-and-daddy-bought-my-car-so-I'm-going-to-beat-the-sh*t-out-of-this-thing-and-jump-it-through-the-air blonde chick? Are you also the one who posted the thread about the blown motor and the mechanics not owning up to it? Sorry if it's not you. Your story reminded me of something I read a while back. I forgot to take my medication today. Nonetheless, welcome back!

I got the motor replaced but the pressure of knowing that this car was highly abused by the previous owner just led me to saying "f--- it"

Tried to "move on" and purchased a brand new 2005 nissan murano fully loaded with everything. After two months that just wasnt cutting it.

So last night I went to my local Mitsu dealer and traded it in for a 2005 Tarmac Black Evo VIII. Leather, sound package (Infinity Sub in the trunk) and sunroof, ACD, etc. As of today the car has 22 miles on it.

So thats 8 months and three new cars, hopefully this one works out.

So.. I'm back. Even though I really dont know any of you on here I just thought I would share. Im glad to be back

Pics coming soon.
wow!!! im just curious how much $ you rolled onto this car?
you must have excellent credit welcome back to the wonderful world that is mitsu

I am in the process of doing the same i sold my 03 got an 05 colorado extreme sold it then got a silverado ss. Now i am going to use my ss for my seal coating company to support my evo habbit. If anyone knows of a good mitsu dealer in the roanoke virginia area let know. I bought my 03 from my local dealer and then i went in a few months ago to check out the 05 and the general sales manager told my i couldnt test drive it and that he didnt remember me so he pawned me off on some new kid working there and half way thru the deal he came back up to me and was like i am so sorry i remember you now let me take care of this for you, so i just got up and left. by the way he also thought that his 05 silver evo with leather was an mr and wanted close to 35 grand on it and wouldnt budge on the price. sorry to hijack your tread. welcome back and i hope to be rejoining you all soon

Thanks for your input LocoLT1 but i'm not upside down on anything. I'm not going to get into it but all i'll say is stay in school and get a good paying job.

You can take your "thumbs down" and... well i'm sure you can figure that one out buddy.

Also:

"Congrats and welcome back!

Yes -- that is me.

I rather be way upsidedown than drive a murano (suv) for the next few years what would you do? would you still drive something you do not enjoy just because it is not a good deal ? live is to short to worry about little things life is not all about money(at least not to me). enjoy your Evo

Okay. I see it. 2001 Outback headed for a V8 Cayenne. I'm pulling out my flame thrower. Run.
