Just remembering my first Evo drive.

Just feeling a bit nostalgic, remembering the first time I drove my car. It was when I took it for a test drive. I had been driving around a lightly modded 2002 mustang gt for a couple years. A friend told my that once I drive it I will buy it. After about 5 minutes behind the wheel I realized that the mustang could not compare. I love my Evo.

I had ridden in one first....thought the car was amazing.

When I went to he dealer and test drove it I literally knew I wanted it after pulling out of the dealer lot.

Haven't looked back since.

First time I drove my Evo I almost wrecked it cause it was my first time driving a RHD car. After a couple days it was second nature.

I had to drive 100 miles just to see an Evo. The salesman said I fit the profile of a buyer - huh??? and insisted I drive the car. So, we were out in about three lanes of one-way traffic, I was in the right lane and wanted to be in the left lane, cars all around. Poof, I was there like magic. It was sweet. Now it seems normal.

I remember I had my evo delivered to my house and got pulled over 1 min later after I took it out.. The pull was so amazing I was scared of the car at first.. luckily the cop was an evo owner too he was like " I seen you fly by me and I was like oh **** evo no chance" then since I was pulled over he caught up to me and I told him I didnt know boost kicked in so low and he laughed and said enjoy it and drove away
