Finally getting an Evo

Well Iv finally found the Evo I'm gonna buy. Ill have it within the next few weeks depending on how long it takes to fax the paper work and what not since my Grandma was nice enough to co sign.

Iv really wanted an Evo for as long as I can remember and they always seemed to be outta reach as you can see by me being a member since 2005 and this will be my first evo (Although I did own a 94 TSi but sold it before 05). But I just wanted to share it with you guys since Im sure you can all relate to how euphoric I feel right now.

wow, you joined evom since 2005 and finally getting an evo now. I can tell you wanted an evo bad. so you had GTI after you sold the talon? evo is the way to go if you are into performance. is the evo you looking at mechanically reliable?

Actually I bought an 03 Lancer OZ Rally between the 2, I couldn't afford the Evo working Security at ESPN so I felt the OZ made me a little closer to my goal lol.

It should be it only as 26k on it and I'm buying it thru Carmax. Its bone stock (Or at least is now) so Mitsu should honor the warranty. Plus I'm gonna run it up to Westboro Mitsu to have them run thru it since they arnt TO far from me and they are a vendor on here.

I am glad to see previous lancer owner upgrade to the evo. I know how a lancer guy feel when evo drive next to them... if I were you i prob buy a beater and save it for evo in the meantime. with the evo, there are so many parts available, it's gonna be much easier than modifying a lancer

Contrary to popular belief, the Evo is a great family car.
