So who traded in what to get a X
Scrapped 1999 BMW V12 E38 and sold 2006 Hyundai Azera Limited.
2008 GG Evo X MR, barely broke 10,000 miles on it and 2010 WW Ralliart Sportback. Some people hate the Sportback, but I love it and it's a great DD.
I miss the E38 even with all the problems it had. Long story short, BMW tech did not torque the bolt during maintenance and it traveled up the motor....

Tacoma 4x4 Double Cab Long Bed, and Mustang GT500. Truck was too damn long and didnt need it since the girl got a suv, and I am just not fond of taking a turn in a heavy *** GT500 never felt fun. It was cool to go straight but not much more than that.
I love the evo, probably should have never traded my IX MR on a Nismo 350z either. Been searching for that evo feeling since, glad to have it back.

Nah, it's not that bad... Aftermarket Alcon or perf friction rotors and pads are much cheaper and better than stocks (I used carbotechs)...
The main issue is cost though... Tires, tranny fluids etc... I did miss the stick...
If I drove my GTR around to say "look at me in my GTR" I could have easily afforded to keep it... Unfortunatly I track and autoX and it's too expensive to live life in a GTR for me right now with that... And 3 cars was getting tough (lack of space and time)....
The evoX is good on track, can autoX, can rallyX, hold my daughter, be driven in rain and snow and blend in more in traffic ( I was tired of conversations at red lights and gas stations... Not that talking cars isnt nice.. I'm just in a rush always lol)... .. The evo can do everything while the GTR can only do 1 .. Maybe 2 of those

Where I live, there are very very very very very few X's; not many viii's or ix's either, just isn't Mitsubishi country 'round these parts of Missoraah.On this particular thread, I can say my previous ride, 1989 Camry SE with 330,000 miles and more rust than metal, never got anyone's attention. Well, airborn radar got me once at 80mph, but there were more cops that were looking somewhere else when I was going even faster than that often.

In 2008 I traded a 1999 M Roadster and sold outright a 2005 Saab 9-2X Aero. I was consolidating at the time and was very happy with my 2008 GSR in RR.
Fast forward to December 2010, I come out from work, start the car and it sounds like a 1980 Diesel Truck. Long story short the belt slipped time. They tried to say I didn't have enough oil in it etc. tried a couple things to make it sound like it was my fault, like low oil would have anything to do with the belt slipping. Anywho, they ended up doing the repair under warranty and I never drove the car again. Worked a deal on a 2010 MR-T, they went and picked the 2008 GSR up from the local Mitsu dealer doing the warranty repair, and now I am driving the best car I've ever owned.
Very happy so far, in general with the machine itself. Mitsu is a little hard to deal with at least my local dealership was, some of that may have had to do with them loosing the dealership on Jan 1st of 2011, not sure,but over all I'm pretty happy.

You are getting me wrong, I welocme intelligent questions what I am talking about are the retarded ones from people who oviously know nothing about cars. I don't want to thread jack to bad so I will just post the worst one.
A guy saw me pull up in the parking lot and asked me:
Do you double-clutch? (and yes he was serious and not making a F&F joke)
I am going to post this myself

Traded in a 2001 BMW 330i with Sports Package for my X. Someone from my town bought the BMW (he doesn't know me or know that I used to own that car). He was behind me in the X and was all on my *** wanting to race. What a fool. I used to own that car and the *** kicking that the X would have given it wouldn't have been funny. Some people are so clueless when it comes to knowing how cars actually perform.
