Just got my IX!!

But I'm yet to drive it (My wife picked it up in cali and is having herself a little vacation) Can wait to see the Evo in person. For now this is what she has sent me

Thanks to jmk2888 for helping me out. Couldn't have got the IX with out him getting me the discounted price. I anxiously await it's arrival.

I've had mines for a little over 8 months now and my wife hasn't even sat in the drivers seat. She's only been in the passangers seat a total of 10 or so times. She says being in the car makes her light headed. On the other hand my son which is 3 loves to be in my 8.

I don't think I'm supposed to disclose the price, lets just say that the employee discount jmk2888 sponsored me for was quite substantal And HB mitsu, well they weren't making any money off the deal and yet the picked my wife up from LAX, then drove her to the MMNA in Cypress, then took her to the dealership. I would say I was pleased with the way me and my wife were dealt with. There was a moment or 2 were my wife said that their displeasure from not making any money off the deal showed, but she was happy with her overall experience, esspecailly considering the circumstances. I would recommend them.

My wife is an excellent driver and I'd much rather her break in the car. She has alot more self restraint than I do. Our Celica had 120k miles on it when we upgraded the clutch and the stock one had plenty of life left in it. So no worries here.

I taught mine to drive in the Evo 9. Talk about crash course. She's a pretty good driver though, I'm impressed. And women taking down V8 powered cars is just HOT anyway.

That's good. And the "self restraint" thing is big. It was hell for me, and there were plenty of moments when I'd wait exactly for 5000 rpm before I shifted. Only a woman could be so patient with our cars' break-in process

They still make money on the deal, Do not let them make you feel sorry for them. jmk2888 also sponsored me and I am waiting for my car.
Why did you fly out to California, That letter is good in any state?
