Wink Super New to Car Scene

Hi everyone,

TDawg here from Columbus, Ohio. I currently drive a 2017 Buick Regal 2.0T. I'm 23 years old and I'm brand new to the car scene. I also own a 2006 Honda CBR1000RR.
Spoiler
 
The reasons as to why I joined EvoM was because in the next two years I plan on getting rid of the Buick and getting an Evo 8/9. I have a ton of questions when it comes to modifications, what the best set up is, and much more.

I really hope I can grow with this community and possibly meet any locals! I'm in the process of restructuring my financial situation and that is why I am waiting two years to jump into an Evo.

If you have any threads that you think I should read, please feel free to attach them!

I look forward to meeting and talking to everyone!

-TDawg

Hey TDwag, Welcome aboard

Great to have you even though youre not an owner, yet. Purchasing any car, let alone an EvO is a hard decision, so take your time


Heres one of our Sticky threads regarding learning the EvO basics. Check it out here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...oking-evo.html

If you have any questions, let me know

Joe

Joe,

Thank you for the warm welcome. Total downer that I’m not an owner yet! I should have just bought one before I knew what they were . Anyways, I’ve heard about he “take your time” when picking an evo from a few friends now. I’m assuming it’s just the normal ask all the questions beforehand right?

Even though I’m 23, I’ve had my fair of bad/good luck when it comes to cars and I can only imagine a 400AWHP+ Evo won’t be much different


Thank you for dropping that link! I’m sure I’ll find helpful information in it!

Yeah, buying a 12-15 year old car can present some challenges. Looking for rust/corrosion damage is certainly an issue to be aware of

Hoping this is not going to be a daily driver, but understand if that is your intention. Having the EvO as a weekend project car is the goal IMHO

Welcome! Sounds like you have a good plan. Take your time, but try to be ready to strike if/when you find a good deal.

Definitely can understand that that aspect of it. I’ve seen a lot of clean Evo’s in my area and through the marketplace though so I have hope! I would love to daily drive one, but I know the effectiveness of that lol! It would probably be a sunny day, good weather car for me. I have intentions on buying an Evo and possible an RSX or something similar for a daily.

Hopefully everything works out! Two years can change a lot haha. I’m hoping the deals are as good as they are right now.
