Just became an EVO owner

Hi everybody,
About 3 weeks ago I went with a buddy to go test drive an EVO and the drive and the feeling stayed in my mind daily since then. So last weekend I finally gave in and got one. I traded in my little-over-1-year-old Acura RSX Type-S and got a 2003 Lightning Yellow EVO with 3500 miles on it. The deal I got was 18k for my trade, and 25500 for the EVO with 4.9% financing. Not the greatest in the world but not bad in the end.
I live permanently in the Philadelphia area but I'm working right now in Bristol, Tennessee for the next 4 months. If any of you wanna meet up, holla.
Anyway just joined this board and looking forward to talking with everybody about this incredible car.

-Mak

where I got it

I grabbed it from Lancaster County Imports in PA. I was thinking about getting a new one from Wallace Mitsu. in Bristol, TN. But they were trying to mark up the price to 31k on me.

I got my car for 25,500 with 9K and traded my RSX TYPE-S for 18,100. I got 3.55 apr so my note is $404. Best descision I have evermade. My car came with JDM taillights lights, buschur intake and MBC. I have since added a turboback exhuast $978 and will get dynoflash to get 300hp car to the wheels. My car will have a solid 60hp gain. The RSX was nice but it had no torque and can't compare to the EVO

I'd like to hear some real driving comparison's between the EVO and RSX-s. Freeway acceleration, ride quality, handling etc.
