And the clutch and cmc can go out quick also. Something I've been dealing with for the past 4 months.

Always 93. The blue has really been growing on me lately. I am not sure how much snow MD gets but get some snow tires if there is a decent about and congrats. I got about 80k on my 2010.

It doesn't have the stock summers on it, it has Continental all seasons. So far so good in the rain, not sure if we're gonna wind up getting any heavy snow this year though.

Honestly I was originally wanting to go with WW but the OB grew on me. Plus I got a deal "I couldn't refuse"

I was like you, I originally wanted the WW, but I ended up getting the OB like your car. Mine is bare bones as well because that saved cash for mods.

Looking at your photo, do you have the small wing on the back? My car has the small wing.

Enjoy the ride. If you don't plan on doing a bunch of mods, you should at least put a cat back exhaust on it so it sounds better. It might even make it a little bit faster.

Black was my first pick. It was a tough decision though when they had the blue on the showroom floor. I looked back and forth between both colors and said screw it, blue it is

It has the small wing on it, I want to find a sss one eventually, but for now I'm broke. As far as mods I will say it will happen 100%. But honestly I still have to get used to the current power levels. This is the fastest vehicle I've EVER owned and the most performance based vehicle I've ever owned also. So for now I'm learning slowly how to handle the car and not let it handle me. I'm still having to re-learn how to drive stick, it's been about 4 years since I owned one.

Well done on the Evo, I promise you wont be disappointed. I also promise within a few months you will get the itch to start with your mods.

For example, I bought mine nearly a year ago. Originally was content with just an access port and HKS drop in. Then I did something I shouldnt have done and went to a local Evo meet several weeks ago. After hearing and seeing the modded Evos I felt........well........lets just say I felt the opposite of "well in doubt."

Since the meet, I have plasti dipped my wheels black(temporary until I get wheels) and ordered a whole mess of ETS parts. I ordered my exhaust, test pipe, downpipe, exhaust manifold, intake, intercooler and intercooler piping. And as you can imagine the wifey wasnt too pleased but she knows the deal. LOL!

Congratz again on the Evo and enjoy!!!
