My MR is OOC for a couple weeks as well. Had to run up to Spokane for some stuff, and ended up kissing a pole (ice with snow over the top isn't very condusive for allowing turns with Advans, even at approx. 5 mph). Easily a couple grand in damage. Have to fly home tonight and come back and get it when its finished.
Ouch I hope things work out for you soon man. Never happy to see an Evo out of comission.

But for reals I'm sorry to hear about that mang. I just got back into town and it's good to be driving my baby again. I saw a blue evo 8 in Chicago last week although I highly doubt they'll be checking this forum.
The Evo is not a Ferrari man. I drive mine in inclement weather all the time although the car is equipped with the necessary parts. My Evo gets used and abused and it always comes back wanting more. Can't beat a rally inspired car in snow unless you're running the stock Advans.

I have heard LOTS of 4G63's over the years that sounded like crap becuase they had less than perfect exhaust systems. I wasnt there so I dont know, but it could have even been an exhaust leak problem. My dad has put up with me and my imports since 94 so he knows a fart can when he hears it.

I've heard my share of fart can / Folgers mufflers on DSMs and Evos. It makes me want to take away their keys so they can't embarrass me further.

I've also seen crap like the UK Evo VIII MR badge on a 9 non-MR SE. Ricers exist in every make, model, and financial status. I even saw LED washer nozzles on an E55 coming back from Snoqualmie Pass in the Issaquah area.

I saw a red MR, dropped low, TurboXS or HKS exhaust, DARK tinted windows, black centered wheels with polished lips, and a carbon hood roll through Aberdeen the other day. If it hadnt been for the hood I would have thought someone stole my car with me in it. Damn copycats.

It's Miss, but don't worry about it and I was mocking the people in this forum that have their panties up in a wad because people like myself drive our cars like they are things that get us from our homes to wherever we are going. Mine needed a new wheel when it snowed last year. You can even check for the thread under my posts and see.

Saw an AS Evo IX twice today. First time was right as 205 merged with I-5, the second time was just north of Longview. Its unique because it had a storage bin on the rack on the roof. I wasn't in my Evo of course, so couldn't give a proper hello.

Glad to see a girl that knows what type of environment an Evo is really home in. (ahem you pansy males worried about your nails) You, me, and js still need to get some beer in Ptown somewhere that I owe you two from last year. Next JEstr tuning session?

A true ricer would get the Evolution IX badge, leave off the I part to make it a Evolution X. You should give that a try Edison.

As long as I have my car back and I'm around, you bet I'll hang out and grab a beer or two.
