Greetings - I just joined the forum today, looking to see what kind of a community is out there. Hopefully tomorrow evening I will be purchasing a red EVO, if they can get down to a price I feel like paying. I have been going back and forth between the STI and the EVO but my mind was made up when I saw her in person. What a gorgeous car! That, and from what I have read ovr the last few months the EVO seems to be designed as a pure driver's car, which is what I am looking for. I love driving too much, and life is too short to spend it behind the wheel of a car that doesn't excite me, make me feel 100 % connected to what is going on. I think the EVO will give me that a bit better than the STI, although I'm sure the STI is a great car also. Anyway, I hope I'll be a EVO owner by tomorrow and I look forward to getting to know everyone. Cheers!
