I didn't want to make this post :(
 
I sold the EVO. 2006 EVO IX with 5,058 miles, I got $27,000 for a trade in.

I picked up a 2007 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab, Short Bed, 4x4, Z71 Package with 5,200 miles for $29,000.

It was a better decision for me. It's a really nice truck, that drives like a car. With the State Police Academy a few weeks away (As long as I pass my psychological test) it was a smart move. The State Police has a 5 year probation period. I did not need to be targarted or stereotyped for the type of car that I drive.

Even though I have a truck I will still be on the forums and attend meets. Some of you may disagree with my decision, but for me it was best. I thought about it long and hard for 3 days. I will miss it. But one day I will be back with a 69 Camaro or a 70 chevelle, just watch what I do with that!!! This is a great community and a great car.

Thankyou for all the help!

I know man I will miss it. Best all around sports car I have ever owned. At this point in my life it is not practical and not smart. I will be back though. I might call you for a ride every once in a while.

You'll be back. IMO Who gives a damn of what people think about you, or stereotype you as.

Government didn't force me to do anything. It was the smartest decision for me. Financially and for my way of life. But my job did play a very small part in my deicison.

For my first 5 years I am on probation. Meaning I could get fired for anything. I don't need a sports car tampering with my career. I will be back one day.

In my initial post "With the State Police Academy a few weeks away ."

DSMorBUST Dec 2, 2007 01:06 AM

oh my bad........ good for you man! this state needs "cooler" cops.... lol

If I was going to be a cop, I'd mob the Evo to work everyday. Then I'd convert everyone over to Evo owners.

Are you a Jersey state troop? if so next time if you see GG MR on Jersey road, don't forget to pull me over to say hi....lol

I thought you gonna say one day you will be back with another EVO!!

Please, buy another evo someday in the future if you gonna miss it so much, I want to see more cops drive evo, not stereotype our cars!! Especially your car is tune by Ivey, it must drives like a beast.
Please no cobra, no chevelle, buy another evo please, this is the car that dominate Japan's finest circuit Tsukuba, always breaks new record. cobra chevelle can't do that.

yes educate the cops about EVO, it's not some street racer or ricer, it's one of Japan's finest.
