I never made any judgment on his overall deal, which was indeed decent as you mention, but there was some gaming going on there.
Hey he got breakfast!!! Sorry man, didn't mean to come across as punchy either - just seemed like people were dog piling on him. Most people just get a "welcome, and congrats!" type post. His enthusiasm is...evident, he sounds happy with the deal - the most important thing in the end.

Yeah, it's hard enough even when you're (much) older and have a spouse. Having the folks around has to help, but still it's a lot to shoulder.

I said I wasn't going to mod my IX, either!

Now ---- just look at my signature.

The SHAME.

First and foremost, their service was great, they took me out to breakfast (on them), ate 4k of negative equity and abolished all mark ups to assure me the best payment possible. If you're in the Ohio area and considering the X, by all means shop Medina Mitsubishi!

On the cars behalf, WOW!!! I've owned fast cars before but I could actually feel the G's beating against my heart as I shifted from 2nd to 3rd. I haven't had this car over 65 nor will I, I purchased this car for many different reasons and speed wasn't a factor. However I will tell you this, the X by all means is just as aggressive as the 9 it replaces.

The handling is breathe taking, under steer is no longer present and there's defiantly ghosts in this machine. I purchased the apex Silver Evo with SSS and Aero package and this car screams sex appeal, from any angle. The car literally scares me, I've come to the conclusion I no longer need to prove my car to anyone, let alone someone looking for a race.

I will not modify this car, drag race it or rip on the clutch! I happen to have a 2 1/2 year old daughter who needs her father to continue to love and support her (day in and day out)! I thank GOD for this opportunity so, it's time to respect his wishes and drive this car with respect. The X is everything they say it is and then some... you by all means will enjoy this car inside and out. PEACE and GOD BLESS.

P.S. I'll post pictures in the morning.
I got my Evo X at Medina Mistu. and they are great there!! I dealt with Eric Sr., the owner, a really nice guy. Offered to buy me lunch, but I didn't have time. If you are happy with your purchase, continue to feel happy about it. You will find, if you haven't already realized this, that there are always people on forums that are out to try and make everyone unhappy. I don't know if it is jealosy, bitterness, hatred, ignorance......... I feel sorry for these people and choose to ignore them.

Congrats with the purchase, enjoy the ride, and keep up the good work raising your daughter. I am a teacher and appreciate parents that care for their kids and are an integral part of their childrens lives.

Lastly, at least get a Specta or K & N filter A little more power, the swoosh sound from the turbo, cheap, and easy mod. Only problem is, once you do this, you will want to do more

Glad you like your EVO, but how can you know if it's as good as the IX if this is your first evo? Just a thought.

Does the drop-in really make that big of a sound difference? I wouldn't have expected that given all the plumbing is the same.

If you remove the air-box which is just a few bolts, then you are removing some sound deadening, and it sounds louder...
