What about this? 8 is even more better than 6. I remember seeing the documentary on this car on discovery, it annihilated an evo on its test run too. check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliica for more details.

Wow, I see what you mean now. I was emailing them about pricing and getting a car with specific options and they instead tried to offer me a graphite car with only SSS for $200 OVER invoice. They then tried to make it seem like a favor by telling me that originally it had a $2,500 markup. Yes, a $2,500 markup on a X. I told them that the standard from most dealers is ~$1-2K under invoice and they claimed that those were the dealers "going out of business". Hah. Will definitely be looking elsewhere if I decide to purchase.

yeah that is about par for the course for them.

one of my favorite gems they laid on me was from the sales manager at the time when i asked to test drive the evo.

"No one test drives cars anymore. they pick out the one they want on the internet and then just come down and buy it."

it was very hard not to **** my pants laughing right there.

if all of their customers are like that, i need their email database.

Dunno what kind they are. They are made in japan that is all I remember, got them assembled from tire rack, I love those guys! They suck on warmer winter days, but are so worth it when the snow flys. I actually find excuses to go drive my evo.

so im planning on going to NY over x-mas break. My brother and I want to take our skis so we can hit the mountains up there. We thought it would be better to take the evo because our area gets **** loads of snow and his grand-am probably wouldnt cut it. Now the problem is there is no way to fit skis into an evo (logically). Does anybody in here ski or snowboad that uses a roofrack, i know ide probably look like an idiot driving that far with it but hey.

Well there might be 2 quick fixes.

1) buy the roof rack for the ski's/snowboards
2) if there are only 2 of you going, remove the top half of the back seat (very simple) and have a large hole from front seats to the trunk..

just a few options!

that is a very good idea, but im not sure if it will be just the two of us... pretty sure my friend wants to tag along. Is there anyone in here that might have one i could pay to let me borrow it?

As far as I know there are very rarely meets in the winter. A lot of guys park their cars for the winter. And that's always the subject where I wish I could do the same.

By the way, I cannot really say I'm impressed with the Blizzak LM25's. They seemed just like all-seasons. Although I guess it will really matter in 12 inches of snow. I should've gotten the other Blizzaks.
