Howdy All, New EVO Owner

Well as of yesterday I am a proud owner of a 2003 EVO VIII.

I found it on autotrader, went to look at it, and before I knew I was driving it home. This car is amazing, such power, such control, all around WOW! In case any of you want to see what it looks like, here is the link:

Just thought I would say hi, and I will be around here alot more.

Good stuff!

How does the interior look with the painted pieces? Kinda hard to tell from the pics in the link. That's nice that it comes with the UK badge so you don't have to spend $80 on your own.

Now stop posting and go drive...Enjoy!

Congrats. Welcome to the "car of no return", from now on, anything worth less than a C6 Z06 would be a disappointment to you. Congrats. You got a good looking one.

The interior is awesome, its just a trim package, its hels on by double sided tape. It might have been on here before, There was a lot work done to it but they previous owner took all of it off. I have already smoked a 99 Cobra Mustang, pulled up on me gave me the rev and took off.... Oh no I said, dropped it a gear blew by him around 130. I bought the car yesterday and already put two tanks of gas through it. I have been driving compacts for a while, sentra, 240sx, a civic, and I drive my buddies mirage every now and again. This car is amazing. I have never felt so secure going that fast, I kinda kicked myself after I got going that fast, shame on me.... but it was worth it. I think I just opened pandora's box, I am pricing all sorts of stuff from the vortex generator to sound system, to a complete exhaust and intake overhaul. Let the check writing begin, now I have a reason to work.
