Lancer=gone

Hey guys I recently got my new(new to me) tiburon after a huge hail storm totaled it out so that was my excuse to get something new(I got sick of getting beat by base celicas). After a LONG day of car shopping I was on my way home when I decided to check out the new tiburons, just for the hell of it. As I'm getting ready to leave the dealership I see this black beauty. I KNOW most of you guys on here know what I'm talking about when I say it was love at first sight. Of course the main manager, or whatever the term for it is, came out and started talking to me. Naturally, the first thing I wanted to do was to drive it so he ran in to get the keys, backed her out for me and told me to take it for a spin. My jaw dropped when I saw it only had 4500 miles on it. I took it for a nice long drive since the dealer didn't come with me and tested everything out. Long story short I drove it off the lot a couple of hours later.

This car hauls MAJOR *** compared to my lancer and I love how much attention it gets(that can also be a bad thing of course). I have lower back problems from a car accident about a year ago and these seats just hug me and my back doesn't complain one bit even on a longer drive.

I don't plan to mod it very much in the first couple of years and if I do it will all be mild but after the warranty is up I would like to go FI. Here is what the car came with when I bought it:
-Tint(don't know the %)
-Clear bra
-LED lighting in the footwells and in cupholders(Looks factory done but not my cup of tea)
-Dynamat in trunk.
-Power wire ran to the trunk.

Now I THINK thats it but I still need to explore it a little more. I've been too busy driving it. :3_winkthu

UPDATE:
Here are some pics:







...and finally the sexiest pic of her...



...my old car(decent looking, good gas mileage, kinda slow)...



It's the first one on the right.

Well we've all known those cars that make you dislike a brand. I have kia with a passion because my mom used to have one and that thing was in the shop nonstop, brand new. A lot of my friends have had hyundais and couldnt be happier. I'm glad i have this...for now anyway. as soon as i get done with college and i'm able to afford it i'll be starting a "Hey i just got a new evo" thread. Mitsu is still in my blood, i'm just trying something new.

Yeah, man do what you gotta do. I like to hear the trying out something new thing i just get mad when i see tiburons/tibbys. As long as your not the guy i dislike in the hyundai then its fine . I mean people bash on people for having regular base lancers...u shoulda got a evo thats exactly the guy in tiburon said to me and he had the nerve to do other stuff that could get him thrown in jail...but enough about that yeah it looks good in black. real aggressive color

What these two above said sums up what the whole car scene is for me. Who cares what people think as long as you're happy.

I got the GET AN EVO comment all the time in my lancer but I also got a lot of NICE CAR comments. I dont let what people say get to me. Oh and I will never talk down on base lancers because they are what got me started in the whole car scene and are great cars.


This car gets a LOT of attention! Its great at times but it gets annoying when I'm just trying to enjoy the drive and cruise in the slow lane when I have d-bags trying to rev at me, flip me off, swerve at me or even try to get me to race them in rush hour traffic. On the other hand, girls LOVE it and I cant complain about that attention.
