Test drove pt bougt evo

I just wanted to share my recent expierence with EvoM, My younger brothers truck was totaled in the recent hurricane Katrina in Florida and he needed a new set of wheels. He decided to buy a PT Cruiser since we found a new 05 for only $11,999 but on the test drive we drove by the used car dept and sitting in the back row was a black evo with MR rims. We locked up all 4 wheeles and jumped out of the PT with the engine still running we gaged as we stared at the 05 gsrs leather recaros wow what a sweet ride. We were looking at a 05 gsr in tarmac black with the SSl package and only 1350 miles on the odometer . To make a long story short we ended up buying the Evo, so after a whole lota pt shopping we took home real deal after all so now we have 2 evos in the family which is mutch better that 2 Pts in the family wouldnt you agree?

That cannot be a bad day. It sure is nice to go to the prom with the fat chick, and then come home with the prom queen instead. Good move.

tell me you were at least going to buy the turbo PT...not that it is any comparison to an EVO, but that is a big jump from the PT to an EVO...

Plus I am going to do all th mods since he has no money! its in the family and its all good (dont be a hater!!) we are having a good time. I have already started to mod it both cars will have turbo kits on them. I have 3 turbos a 20G, a br580 turbo kit, and a HKS gt2835 with a sfp manifold so I have lots of parts to make them go. what turbo do you have on your car?????????? so for the record I own 2 evos ...now why is that lame? please respond.

We looked for a PT 5 speed turbo and there were non in Florida all we could find was a automatic turbo so we decided to buy a 5 speed non turbo.
