New Evo Owner from SOCAL (civic--> evo)

Whats up Evo Community?? I’m Travis, I’m 19 yrs old. I’m Originally from Guyana, South America but I’ve been living in CA for almost a year now. I recently purchased an Evo. Its an 06 IX MR with 38k miles.


I picked it up on Saturday in San Jose, 6hrs away from LA and I had an awesome 370 miles drive back. This is my 1st turbocharged car and probably the fastest car I’ve ever driven. The handling of the evo is out of this world. It makes you feel so connected to the road it quite unbelievable. I think it makes u think you’re a better driver than you actually are.


I couldn’t be happier with it since I’ve been dreaming of having one since I was about 13-14 yrs old. I know that younger Evo owners are frowned upon by the community and I can definitely understand it. I don’t consider myself an arrogant chap and I’m here to learn and take advice from the older and experienced evo owners.


Thanks for reading and I hope to be a part of the EVO Community.

for posting pics up, you have 2 options:

1. when posting a reply, theres a paperclip icon (on top) click on that, then browse your comp. to wherever the pic is located.

2. if u have an image hosting site, just copy/paste the IMG link.

Thanks for the love guys. I'll be installing a turbo timer this weekend. I know it's not really necessary but it gets a bit annoying sitting in the car for 1 or 2 minutes while i'm in a rush.
