My Evo 8 on Route 66

So I went out this morning in search of another bridge I was near yesterday. Well I found it

Here are a few of the pics.

That place you got there looks real nice, some place quiet and away from all the crap of the big city. Pretty cool man. If you don't mind me asking, what made you move there?

Some of my family moved here, and I decided it was time for a change, the cost of living was the biggest reason. The past 5 yrs I paid $1,150 - $1,400 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment. It was doable with my girlfriend but when we broke up I came up even or slightly under each month and I didn't want to live like that any more.

1 bedroom apartments here are 300-500$ :^| lol you can get a nice house for around 100k and that's what I hope to get soon!!! Id never even dream of house shopping in cali.

I don't regret moving here at all. I do miss north county sometimes though, but I think its just the missing the familiarity of everything.

Great location for pics but the hood scoop puzzles me. The hood was designed to have the vent on the hood extract heat from the engine, not suck air in. If anything, the minimal power you create from the cold air vent is made obsolete by preventing the turbo and manifold from releasing the heat it's generating.

Maybe if your ride had a heavily modified exterior it might fit, but with on a stock ride it looks completely out of place.

IMO if you wanted cold air that badly you should have a duct through your foglight.
