The first evo I ever saw in action was Kevin D's white evo with 500+ hp, I dont think he was running an exhaust but that made my heart drop when I saw it and I wanted one, since I maxed out my 02 lancers motor I want an evo now.

First time I seen one I was overwhelmed with an urge to drop to my knees and say im not worthy. It felt like a sin to cast my eyes upon something so beautiful.

The first time I saw one in person, it was right when they first came to the US. The local dealer still hadn't gotten any and I saw a black one on the highway with a middle aged woman driving it! I was always a fan of the evo and to see it in person and the realization that they were available in the US was a great thing knowing I would one day own one.

when I first saw an evo it was a VIII and the this was on the thruway and it was rally red it looked so nice that made me want one so badly but then I saw tokyo drift with the IX and it just made me want one so badly. all I can say is that I felt pure happiness.

The first time I saw an evo IX wagon was when they announced it and did an article in a magazine and my first thought was, EVO wagon is just dumb. Well...6 years later.

first time I saw one was in the fast and the furious 2 and said damn thats a nice car but it would look sicker without the bodykit and stuff. Then I said to myself I'll never be able to afford that, then I saw it in tokyo drift and said I have to get one. I seriously am addicted and love the evo without even test-driving it and I will get one eventually.

I saw a RR and a LY one at my local stealership back when they first came out. I was like 17 then. I wanted one so bad, but I knew I never could afford one at that time. So I ended up getting a Honda until I totaled it, took the money from that and bought a talon TSI AWD. Put about 15k into that over the course of three years, then realized that I made enough money to buy an Evo lol. Waited about 6 months until I found a RS with low mileage in NJ. When I got off the plane and saw my car waiting on me all shiny looking , I felt like I was 17 again. Then I drove it back home to GA in 13hrs with only stops for gas. lol Ive been hooked ever since. I think the CT9A will go down as the best Evo platform of all time (and baddest car factory-stock of its era for 30k).

Well I first saw my brother's evo( which now belongs to moi) I thought it was a ricer lancer with a bodykit. THen when I heard it was turbo, I doubted its power. When i got to drive it a year later, with 200 hp more I fell in absolute love with it!
So overall, I greatly dispised them because I WAS more of a euro kid.
EVO FTMFW.

The first time I saw an evo, I was immediately hooked. It was my incentive to get myself through college and get a good job. Once I finished school, I got a good job and bought my Evo. The car had everything I wanted, Great lines, great handling, brakes, engine.

With all of my old favorites turning into NA sleds, I figured I might as well get an Evo before they become obsolete.

I heard about the VIII and how sick it was supposed to be, but I didn't believe it. So the first time I saw one my jaw dropped and I said, "How the hell can that kid afford that car?" Well I busted my *** for four years (I was 17 then) and bought mine straight up. Now i'm that kid with the Evo. My jaw still drops every time I see one; mostly because they are so rare around here, many more subbies and mustanks.
