My new toy

My new toy is here

I had to wait 2 full months to get it. It was well worth the wait. The Evo was a great car and incredibly reliable. 50000 miles and zero problems. It was hard to see it go . I am OK now.

Thanks,

as someone who has been saving for an EVO for more than 2 years now, it's hard to image someone giving one up.... but that is a nice bimmer ya got. You don't miss the all wheel drive with the snow up there?

I did it now, as I wanted the E46 model, they are going to stop producing it soon. I am not sure what the new M is going to be like, plus how much it is going to cost.

This body stile is just beautiful in my opinion, I am thankful I was able to get it now: cool:

The Evo was great in the snow. I wish I could keep the M parked for the winter. I placed snow tires on it; it drives ok in the winter, not like the Evo however. As far as giving the car up, it is like that. You will see yourself letting go of yours once you have had for sometime. Good lock getting the car soon!

Hey GTR, how are you? Yes, it is the competition package! I wanted the Interlagos blue, that was the only way to get it.

Yes the new will be based on the new 3 just out. It will have a V8 with around 425hp. I now it going to be nice!

I did not track my Evo, but once. I don't plan on tracking the M3 either, maybe in the next few years. Both cars will give me about the same performance for everyday driving.
