Just saying Hi. New car and previous inside...

Whats up guys! Pretty glad I'm on an evo forum. I've always wanted one, and finaly got one! It's a GGP 8 MR. I left my down payment a few days ago, and taking delivery within the next week. needless to say, I'm very excited! Heres a few cars I've owned previously...

My first legit car. 1997 Acura Integra GSR. It was a piece, but I loved it.


Next was a Del Sol. This was a real learning car. This car saw 3 motor swaps, probably preplaced every part in this car at least once lol. The first motor I ever built went in this car, and is to this day is still running. This thing was a hoot. B20VTEC swapped, lots of suspension work. Wish I had kept it.


And for those of you with knowledge of this car, the coveted Ameripol Top




And my true love that passed away on January 20, 2008. I was coming home from Olive Garden, and was getting off exit 91 off I95 when I was broadsided by a drunk driver Car was a total loss and I'm still recovering from all the back and neck trouble. I LOVED this car. Supercharged @ 9lbs with water/meth injection, tein mono flexs, rotora BBK, everything. Theres not much on this car that wasnt modified. So pissed its gone. Not to hate, but I pissed on like 3 evos with this thing. Miss her dearly. I had built a motor for this car 3 days prior to it being totaled, I had to sell the motor and the full race kit








Shortly after I purchased an evo (or so I though) from Girard Mitsubshi in Groton. I had bought the car, left a down payment and everything. I came back the next day to pick it up and one of the mechanics pulls me to the side and told me he was friends with the guy who owned the car before me. The motor had been replaced like 2 times, it was totaled once and the guy paid to have it repaired out of pocked, and a few other things, all of which did not show up on carfax BTW. So I fot all my money back for it, and went and bought an 05 STi




I kind of rushed into the STi cause I needed a car, and I couldnt find an evo. I was stupid because 3 months later I'm trading it in on an evo. Here she is...




BTW do you guys think my insurence will go up from an 05 Sti to an 05 evo MR? I didnt think so... what do you think?

Ya man, its a sweet car. I like it a lot, but I had my heart set on an evo. I'm not going to make payments on something i dont love. I love the evo

Ya, i was a honda kid for a long time, then i decided to grow up and get something AWD. I'll probably never go back, and if i do, it will be in an RSX.
