What he said^^^^^^^^
It was a shame to have it just sit for weeks at a time in my driveway.I think the longest drive I took it on in the last year was last years cruise,so I decided to sell it to someone who could actually enjoy it. The sad thing is the lucky person who purchased it almost a month ago still hasn't gotten it registered yet,so it now sits in his driveway rather then mine.
I have a $hit ton of high end performance parts to sell so if you know anyone who "needs" some high end parts send them my way. You all know my phone number so don't be afraid to call me.

If you're talking the stock VIII wheels, I have mine stacked up in the garage right now so it would be really easy to get them on your car.

I'm in Enfield, feel free to send a PM.

Ok guys. I'll have a run at this again to try to get you to understand me a little better. I've loved cars my entire life and have always wanted to have a project of my own to work on and learn from. When i got back from Afghanistan i had a little extra money in my pocket and i really needed something to keep my mind off of some stuff. That's when i decided to get my Evo and begin this. When i got into this i knew what it was going to be, a PROJECT. That's exactly what it is for me. I love doing it. I love learning and getting to do the things to it that i have. Given, i haven't done all of the stuff (i've actually done very little), but i've learned from everything that has been done(Big thanks to Kevin, Wit, Junior, and Top Level).

Now, for all those haters about me not driving my car. My car WILL be driven. I'm just not going to start driving it until i feel that it is at the point where it can handle it and it is done the proper way. I have invested a lot of money into the car (actually, every penny i have, even closed out a retirement fund), and i dont want something bad to go wrong. My car is still in the middle of getting finished. For those of you who just think i should get out there and drive it the way it is, you are wrong. That's how bad things happen. I'm a perfectionist, it will happen when it happens. Trust me, you will know when that is. lol.

Any questions class?

that was a long answer Ken LOL. now lets get back to the real topic. AllinEvo and Ken stole the spot light.
The foliage run doesnt have to be all Evos, bring your friends with Hondas, Subarus and whatever can go at least 80 mph. As long as they are responsible guys and can drive at least like Ken
