Yet another new Evo IX owner
 

Hi all!

I've been a lurker since last year and I have finally purchased a 2006 Electric Blue Evo IX GSR :) Coming from a 2000 Celica GTS, this car is soooo much better! The only area it lacks is the turning radius :( Everything else the Evo excels in! :) Here's a few pics of my car...enjoy! :)

no wing? yuck

To each his/her own :) I personally like it without the wing and don't like the extra attention with the wing ;)

ill agree, it does give a unique style.. but i think that the wing on the evo gives it its name .. makes it stand out from the rest.. i mean it is a rally car.

True true...but with all the cops in the SF Bay Area and with racial profiling, I don't want to take a chance. My age is 35, but I look like I'm in my early 20's :) Also, my car is bright enough to spot out in the traffic... unless it's at night, where my car changes color to a deeper blue-purple :)

Cool! First time I saw a wingless IX! I like!

you'll get used to the turning radius. it's not that bad unless you have to make a tight u-turn.

Very true...I'm getting used to preparing ahead of time for tight turns. My technique is, told to me by a good friend who drives an Evo VIII, to turn earlier. I also do the the: turn the opposite direction a little, then make your turn technique :)

Pull the hand-brake really hard while turning, you shouldn't have any problems then.

Man, I cant wait till I make that jump, from a stock Celica Gts to a Evo ix, hope you are loving your evo, I know it wont be long until you mod and you will love her even more.

Lucky you {thumbup}

What part of Norcal are you from? Like what city?

Congrats! I love that color.

Congrats I love that color ;)
No Wing? who cares Its EVO

NO Wing? It just don't seem right.

wow, one of my favorite colors... (GG and EB are my top 2 choices)

i like the no wing look as well but to each its own. i think i would just get an evo with a wing

i hope to make the same transition that you did (celica to evo)

Nice car. how much?
