Here I Am...The Dark Side of the Force

Well I bought my STi last May. I have loved this car, I still do, and always will, if I could, I would keep both.

Owning a Subaru is a very weird experience. You may know it's rival modified is almost always faster, but there is just something about the STi that I love.

But I cannot deny the Evo IX any longer. The response it has to modifcation is unreal, I am sorry to admit it, but the IX defeats the STi in almost every aspect, all of the important ones at least.

So where am I at now?

I just went to my local Mitsu dealership and put a deposit down on a 2006 Graphite Grey Evolution IX SE. I would like to officially say hello to my future Evo brethren.

Welcome aboard. You don't have to be sorry. Realization is the first step on the road to recovery.

I do like it, but I like the Evo more. That is why I am trading in my STi.

What is it that the Evo IX intrigues you....is it the ninja like body style and the brute force look it gives to oncoming traffic?
