Long time fan, First time owner 2013 EVO Baby


I have been a fan of the Evo since high school when I saw an online rallyvideo of one before they even hit the shores here in the US. Since then I haveowned a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse gt (all show no go), and then a 2003 350z. Now Ijust had my first child and the 350z just did not make sense anymore. Poor me,I had to go out and buy a "family car," or at least that is what Imade it sound like. Introducing my 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR. I havehad the mod bug with every vehicle I have ever owned and already am countingdown the days until I can smash the factory warranty and bump her up to 320-340whp. But for now I must remain calm and enjoy her for what she is worth. She isfaster than my z, pulls out of corners better than my z, holds more cargo/peoplethan my z, and finally I am not afraid of snow anymore, infact I get giddy whenit does snow now.

Out with the old and in with the new

Sorry Z. It has been a great 7 years/100,000 miles. But 14.00 seconds and two seats is just not good enough anymore.
