Prius to Evo GSR 2013 PART1
Well everyone, I have made the leap. I drove a Prius for the past 8 years - so I feel that I have done my part for the environment (that will be the first and last time that I mention that hybrid again).
I have been following the Evo for the past ten years and finally I'm in the position to own one. So, five days ago I went out and took the plunge.
First off, let me brief you on the psychology of this thing....that I have done. I work with a group of environmental ****'s. I couldn't share my excitement of my purchase for fear of retribution. So I didn't park in my designated parking space for three days as to not experience the wrath all at once. And then, I think that one of the green people that is truly tuned into the 'green force' felt a ripple and the jig was up -maybe they could smell the turbo juice..I'm not sure. But they knew. They all knew at about the same time.....CREEPY.
Old habits die hard. I tried to drive the EVO like a hybrid, constantly focusing on the fuel consumption - what a WASTE of time. This car drinks fuel but for some reason I didn't mind. Maybe it was the way it handles and yields to your every request. This EVO is like a drug that been calling me CONSTANTLY for the past five days. "Drive me" it says, and I comply WILLINGLY. And, I haven't even scratched the surface of what this thing can do.
PART 2 to follow.

Nice writing style and screw your hippie co-workers. Just tell them its a turbo charged car so it's efficient :P
I've owned my evo for a couple months now and it calls me all the time still, begging me to take her out for a ride. I look at it when its parked in the back and I STILL think to myself "I can't believe that sexy beast is mine, ALL MINE!!!" :P
