I said I would never sell the EVO but....

I made promises to myself when I bought the EVO, having waited for years before they had even announced it coming to the US, that I would never, ever sell it. I would sell my house before parting with this car. However, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to own the Buschur Racing Magnum!!! Thank you David for the opportunity of a life time I can't wait to start ripping up the tarmac with this car... Buschur Racing stage 3 motor/head with GT35R , Robispec suspension , Exedy triple disc , ARP wide body , and 11" rubber . Somebody get me a bucket for all this drool

After a second mortgage and pretty much max'ing out my credit, I now have these two beauties to show for it....they are my retirement fund I can't wait to start putting them to good use!









Other than my son being born, this is the next best thing that has ever happened to me! Thanks to everyone who has helped me get here!!

I really only wanted to get a 28' trailer but was able to pick this up through an Ebay auction for $6300. To good of a deal to pass up. I will mount an AC unit on top and can make a lounge up front, carry a 4 wheeler and still have room for all the extra tools and supplies I could need. Plus my son races a JR Dragster so I can always throw his car in with mine if events overlap.

Ok, I made it sound a little bit worse than what it is. I still had a loan on my current EVO, this car has no title so I had to take out a second mortgage to pay off my car to make the deal happen. With paying off my car and getting the trailer my payments were extended a year but actually were reduced by $25/month. I now also will not have to pay the $100 per month for insurance. So in reality, I am saving $125/month over what I was paying for my EVO and the interest should be tax deductible for even further savings. The retirement thing is a long standing joke because racing is so expensive. I have not and will not touch my 401k...as far as selling my house to keep the car...thats another story Cars and racing are my passion. Other than my son, family and friends there is nothing more important to me. I guess if I were to blow my "load" though, the Magnum is a perfect place to do it

haha ok sounds better...if you were serious at first then thats too much..having a fast/nice car is one thing but going for sec mortgage etc is just dumb..but if your saving money and i know its better then your last evo then hey it all works out..congrats

Thank you! Sorry, have to keep that under my hat. I can say that I feel like I am getting a great deal and David said "I feel like I am getting the better deal!", so it is a win/win situation.
