Adventures in Evo ownership: Pumpkin farm

There are days that make you appreciate just how incredible our cars are for performing how they do while being honest to goodness practical vehicles. Today was one of those days.

Took my girlfriend, her younger brother and little cousin to an animal shelter/pumpkin patch about an hour south of Chicago to stock up on fun stuff for Halloween. Arrived to find that parking involved driving across a completely soaked, muddy field. Problem? Not for an Evo.



Girlfriend's birthday is a few days before Halloween and she has a lot of younger kids in the family, so we had to buy a lot of pumpkins. I mean like 10+ full sized pumpkins plus a bunch of small ones. And no room in the back seat because of the passengers. Problem? Not for an Evo.









Oh, and over 20 mpg on the commute. I love this car.

Oh, and I powdercoated the MR BBSs black. Never made a proper thread so I guess this is it.

Figured I'd throw this up as well. Seeing as Halloween is around the corner, I wanted to give it a bit of a sinister touch.



Here's the link to the full size if anyone wants it in higher res.
