EVO Owner spotted another EVO

Ok.. Here's a unique topic that nobody has mentioned.. As an EVO Owner, I **JUST** Spotted the first EVO that wasnt my own..

It was silver, on hemstead turnpike on Long Island.. PM me if it was one of you guys..

Anyway, Its kinda a weird experience to see someone else on the road with the same car. At least with this car.. For several weeks, I felt pretty exclusive, and it was fun "In my head" having the only evo around (I knew it wasnt exactly true) but I got the first EVO sold on long Island.. so it was nice to have that bit of ego boost.. (or should I say EVO BOOST )

Anyway.. When I saw the other car in traffic, in my rear view mirror.. I kinda felt like my stomach sank.. Like finding out that your girlfriend was cheating on you.. Don't get me wrong, its nice to see other evo's out there, but I like to be different.. and the stock evo is unlike any other car out there.. Until you see another one just like it.

Jack

Oh yah.. forgot, here's a link to a zillion photos that I took of my EVO.. I'm a semi professional photographer, and I'd say 50% of the pictures came out pretty good.. the rest are ICK.. but enjoy..

Thanks for the compliments on the pictures.. The originals are VERY HIGH resolution.. and I was considering doing a few limited prints... anyway, I'm considering putting a few select high-resolution images up.. Also, I am still planning on getting a bunch of EVO owners (and lancer, DSM's too) to do a big "family portrait" of these cars, and individual photos.. I haven't figured out a date yet, or the location other than it will be near the water on Long Island, NY... I'll keep you all posted.

Someone in a honda mentioned Fizz once when he saw my car at the Tri-County flea market parking lot.. He said its a great shop, but I kinda blew it off because I am designing my own package, partly aftermarket, partly one-off components of my own design, and I have another shop that I plan on working with that is in Suffolk County.
