So who is in the PDX area?

Just picked up this 08 GSR, thought I'd see who else is around me. Pretty fun car, can't wait to see some real drive time. Sadly I bought it last night and have to fly to LA tomorrow.

Can't complain though, racing the Baja 1000 is a good excuse to missing out on driving your new EVO.

Oh, here's a shot of it.

I was looking at that car. What'd you end up paying for it? Seemed pretty nice to me. Didn't like the CF interior pieces or taillight covers, but those are easily removable.

Like I said above I looked at that car, also test drove it. It felt like it probably hasn't been tuned, or at least not tuned right, so your first stop should be ER's dyno to have Aaron or Lucas work their magic.

So does anyone know the history on this car, who owned it...what's done to it and such?

I'll be up to ER once I get home. Busy in Mexico right now, been pre-running the Baja 1000 and racing starts Friday.

My coworker was telling me that his friend got an Evo. About an hour later, I showed him this thread and asked him if this is the one and he said "yessir".
