Wassup Guys

I just moved back from LA to the Bay, and man do I miss SoCal's car scene. It makes the Bay look like sh*t... Literally nothing here

ANYWAYS. Any south/east bay evo owners here? Like San Jose, Fremont, Palo Alto, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Cupertino, etc?

Love to meetup with some fellow evo owners because I left all my car/evo friends in SoCal when I moved.

Shoot me a message and we can talk more over text

So true! So cal car scene is sick! I literally drove by 2 other evo's today and not so much as a quick glance. Sad! On a positive note the sac evo ownera group on FB is having a meet soon

It's rare to see an Evo in Nor Cal

I know right? This is Subaru country. I never see Evos around Sac. One white X is it.

See this is what Im talking about.
No Evos up here in NorCal. If anything, there are like 10 scattered across all of Norcal.

Sigh... this is why NorCal fu*king sucks. SO depressing compared to SoCal. Car scene up here is literally nonexistent.

And there are like what, 2 reputable car shops? SpeedElement in San Jose and Trakspec Auto in Fremont? Pathetic. Might as well sell the evo and buy a prius.

Gary Bains (BainsTuning), he has a shop in Vallejo.
My experience in FFTEC was also good.

I swear everyone in NorCal owns a freakin Prius My wife is from the area and every time we go to visit that's all I see except for 1 Evo 8 that lives down the block.

I just moved away from there to Germany (military) Jan 2015. Had my Evo there from Jan 2010 - I left. We actually had around 8 or 9 Evo X's on Travis AFB, but of course around 200 subarus.


I think in the area as a whole, one of the reasons is that there wasn't many Mitsu dealerships, and even then they only had around 2 X's, and they were super marked up. Jan 2010 Fairfield Mitsu tried to sell me a '10 X for $40K (about 1000 miles on it)...I drove down to So Cal Mitsu and picked up a new '10 w/sss for $32K out the door (7 miles on it). So maybe the prices/availability is why there isn't many in the bay?




Also check out EQ Tuning in Fairfield/Suisun City. Ed is an awesome tuner.

Oh snap. Yeah, we had about 6 (4 belonged to 1 shop!) in CES. 1 at dental, 2 at medical, 1 at MPF, and 1 behind the museum.. that I remember.

This makes a lot of sense. I was in the market for one back in 2012. The quotes I got from Mitsubishi dealers in Tracy and San Jose were all about $7K to $10K more than what I could get from Southcoast Mitsu down south. Dealers up here were not willing to budge on the price. I came to Capitol Mitsubishi in San Jose after my initial visit with a cashier's check for the downpayment and a quote from Southcoast Mitsu. I asked if they could match I would get the car that day. They said no. I ended up getting my Evo down south.
