I just sold my Evo VIII earlier this week. I video taped my farewell, careful its a tear jerker! This wont be the last Evo I own, maybe a few years down the road after the hubby and I settle down, get a house and space for all our toys. Im gonna miss it, after all it was my first Evo. Has anyone sold their first one and had to get another? The first ones always stick with you!


Cheers everyone!

someone else is really happy now.

 

im trying to sell my first. but i already got the replacment one also. lol. sucks to see someone who loved their car go.

 

I agree, nice looking Evo too...

 

That was a nice evo. Looked stealthy. Why'd you sell it?

 

deng its sad when you see your baby drive off, i miss my 8 but love my 9

 

I couldn cope. Not with the fear of never owning one again. Did u have counselling to work ur way up to this so it wouldn be so hard? What did the husband sell to equal up to this his soul? Gosh I just cant imagine. Hope ur back in the game soon and driving an even better evo.

 

Aww thanks guys! Another reason why I am going to miss my baby, checking on here every other day for new parts!

Well I kinda made a responsible decision because the car just needed a lot of upkeeping at 117k miles, and me still finishing school the hubby was tired of paying for my fun. We are also planning on buying a house this summer..blah blah grown up stuff I guess.

And he on the other hand has his sooby building his 2.5L sti block, so I guess the fun wont stop here...reguardless he still has his toy! (his response, I bought a DD for myself and take care of you...engineers seem to always be right!)

So for now I'll be a good wifey so when the times comes for me to deserve another toy, the wait will be worth it.


Sux the kid who I just sold it too said he just ordered $4g worth of parts last weekend at least she'll live up to her potential!

 

What exhaust was on it if you don't mind me asking. I had a previous evo in 06, gg 9 mr. Had to get rid of it because of insurance reasons. It was the hardest thing I had to do. Last June bought another gg 9 mr se. In august it was down at Buschur being built. I wasn't gonna let this one get away

 

That really blows. Kinda sucks that you have to get rid of your car to be responsible but he's building a new motor.

 

seems like he paid for that toy, so i mean, atleast she had fun with it

cant complain if someone takes something from you that isn't yours, yet they've let you had plenty of fun with. just appreciate the past and move on.

plenty of fun ahead, just sit tight

 

I spoil my wife all the time but when it comes to my toys it hands off.

 

What are you replacing it with?

 

shouldve made him get rid of his car lol

 

I mean, we all have toys, and god knows my wife is tolerant of my spending on car parts... but if I told her we had to sell her sports car to conserve cash while I was doing a motor build I wouldn't be able to sleep with both eyes closed.
