i remember thinking it was slower than i expected

 

My evo was my first manual. I knew the theory of how to drive, but practice... not so much. So my first test drive, I stalled the S#!t out of it. When I bought it a few weeks later, I immediately took it to a walmart parking lot and practiced for an hour. lol.

 

I remember going for a test drive. And My car was tuned at around 300whp. And it was my first turbo car. And it hit full boost. And I was like I got to have it. But will my insurance company let me? And come to find out later. They would for about $80 dollars a month.

 

I just took my Evo home Nov. 1st. I brought the check for it but hadn't test drove it yet, it all depended on that cause I had already looked it over the day before. My girlfriend was in the back seat when I was checking how well the turbo worked. I remember looking in the rearview mirror and smiling huge.

 

I have a boosted civic. bought the evo 3 months ago and drove civic first time today since. And hated it lol.

 

Yes, that's the first time I was trying to learn stick shift

I still remember when I bought 'em, I had to call my cousin to drive the car
an hour away from home haha fun times

 

I remember the car i drove for my first drive being jerky getting into boost, was way different then my 420a eclipse with a 50 trim running 8psi. I knew id have to get used to the throttle but I also knew immediately that I had to have it. Did some negotiating, picked out my color and drove home a few hours later. I remember the young guys who worked at the eealership were like 'cant wait to see tou get on it leaving here' i didnt F that i was still finishing up school and just committed to paying 30k for this car I was going to baby it for the break in period. I drove it around aimlessly for the next few days until I hit the 500miles.

 

I sure do!
I flew in to Chicago from Columbus, OH... the owner picked me up at the airport, made all the necessary arrangements and payments and than I drove it home.

You know when you drive a different/new car it takes some getting use to, the layout, the controls, seating/hood position etc..... the Evo and I bonded instantly and it seemed like I've already been driving the car for months, that's how I knew I made the right choice

One funny thing that I remember is when I drove home (since it was a decent long drive) I remember always thinking when I was switching lanes and checking for blind spots that the spoiler was always in my perriferal and everytime I thought it was another car LOL

 

Thats exactly the same feeling I got, everything was comfortable and everything was in the right position, pedals, steering wheel, shifter, etc just felt natural to be in it.

 

left the lot, hit that boost, fell in love, /story.

 

Not one to believe in love at first sight, but I knew she was the right car for me when I saw her sitting in the used dealer lot ahaha! After everything was finalized with 19k for the car at 53xxxx I took her home. For me it was night and day coming from an untuned 96 eclipse gsx (a/t). Acceleration, handling, everything. Hit boost and was like "holy *hit my pants!" lol. Then a good o neon srt started trying to pick a fight on the free way but I just smiled at the guy and ignored him. Man I love my evo.

 

lol, I felt like that again today too after sitting in a Ferrari 458...

 

i pick my evo with 68 miles on it and before i got 100 check engine light come on

 

i took over after the salesman stalled it a couple times.... then talked the price down

 

i remember i saw one for sale and told some guy i wud buy it if my dad said ok wen i was like 16 then that summer i went out and got one. I deff felt like a kid at a candy store
