Where were you when...

You saw your "first" Evo in person before you owned one???

*I was at a Corvette show, and saw a BBY parked next to me when the show was over. It was love at first sight!!!

On the streets of Via Reggio, Italy in 2002. I saw a silver VII (I had heard of the Evo just months before) and when i saw it, I needed it. I still think the VII is the best looking Evo.

I first saw one at a car show in 2002-2003 and told my friends that were with me at the time that someday I would have one.

i was in FL just leisurely driving down the road when i caught a glimpse of the mitsu dealership and a lot with like 8 of them, all colors... i fell in love with the blue one right away. If it wasnt for them trying to PIIMB, i would have drove it home.... so i got back to NC and within a week, the Altima was gone, the evo was mine

Joking - near Ann Arbor on US23 back in 2004, it was yellow on the otherside of the freeway that man he was booking - had to be 120+. It came and went in a flash.

I wasn't sure what it was at the time, but I used to see a yellow one on Bay State Rd In Boston walking to and from class about two or three years ago.

I remember that at the Drift Showoff in March 2003, I saw a yellow U.S.-spec Evo VIII in the parking lot with dealer plates, and then I saw Rhys Millen drifting a red rally-spec Evo VII.

I know I had seen an Evo (probably a VI) when I was younger, but I just can't remember when or where.
