Not a great day for me
Woke up to find out my buddy totaled his car but is ok
My gf got a pretty hefty repair bill from the dealer which is a very long story
Got an insane amount of school work that needs to be done asap
and i'm off to work now, which is good and bad.
Hope everyone else has a good weekend.

It all could be worse so i hate to complain but i'm starting to get pretty stressed out with the last few weeks and knowing how the next few weeks will be for me.

Looks like $1,000 (parts without new turbo) Plus $500 for the tune on the low end, make it $3,500 total on the high. Might as well go for a EVO 8/9 at that high end rate.
you should trade your RA for one of Tom Masano's unused 08 X's in Reading.

I wonder how much more monthly car payment/insurance I would have to pay? hmmm....

I would love to go check them out tomorrow (even just for fun), but without the snow.

if youre looking to travel there is a red 08 evoX at walpole mistubishi with 6 miles on it. never left teh showroom floor. they want 28k for it. just putting that out there. car was flawless. base gsr with the areo package.


anyway.. so the exige.. wow. makes an evo feel like a merc. not nearly as fast as my evo but makes all the right sounds. supercharger whine is better than a spooling turbo. handles amazing. getting in and out is as goofy as you all imagine. but overall im in love. couldnt be happier. already got pulled over, happened within 1mile of driving .

I some what forgot about that after we last talked cause i been so busy. As of now no, but trust me i really do appreciate the offer.
I've also been debating just going with new hubcentric ones from touge factory after speaking with them a few times and picking up a rear set and be done with it. You bought from them rite?

Sounds like a decent starting price on the evoX, wouldn't mind the traveling but I will look around locally first as I'm not totally sure I want to take the plunge.

Pulled over already? Ha ha, nice that has to be a record. I wonder how many times you other guys have been pulled over. I've only been pulled over once so far in KOP for running a red light (it was yellow!). Had a bunch of friends in the car at the time, plus it was raining.
