How to convice the wife that we need an Evo X
This wont be the first time that I've bought something that far exceeded what was necessarry and I had to apologize for it later... and then she later came around to saying that she is glad that we got it and she is sorry for giving me a hard time. She was grinning at me as we were driving the X. She can tell that we're going down this road again some day.
As far as the AYC comment... I didn't give it hell, it was just an observation as I took it for an easy test drive. We hit a tight 90 deg turn that I know well... I used to live near the dealership. The salesman did say that the graphite grey one on the corner has seen triple digits already and he doesn't exactly like it. He even said himself that he would try to get me a brand new one with no miles on it when I was ready to buy one... that's what he would want if he bought one. The thing is, people will buy one with miles... they already bought one of the blue X's yesterday with miles and some markup...hell people will buy the new STi's sold down the street for $39K. Oh well.

i preped my wife after the concept X came out. she loved our 8 and 9 especially being a four door since we have a little one. it is always hard justifying new expenses with the ladies, but i make the bacon so the X made it to our home. the wifey likes it much better than ct9a since it is more "grown up". taking the trip to TAS this year definitely helped out to make the decision final.

Say hello to Palomar Mtn with the X for me. I miss my old Paly fix every weekend.
I used to live in Quantico...I would visit D.C. every now and then. Gotta love states where radar dectors are illegal.
I loved SoCal where once you got to your favorite mountain road, your rider/sportscar network would let you know if there was a CHP piggy lurking ahead. That is nice.... then they resort to airplanes... those bastards! (That was the only way I got nabbed with a silly ticket.) I talked to Mr. Ticket and he dismissed that ticket for me... once again, I miss SoCal.

Socal was weak. Too much traffic and plenty of money floating around..
just gotta convince her that awd is that much better.... and bluetooth is a important safety feature and the crash ratings are pretty good
yea, radar detectors are illegal in DC and VA... but not in MD where I live
