not entirely true - there was a guy in OR that sold his 03 RR for lower than $12k, even, at least I think he did. I want to say it had like 71k miles and looked to be an excellent buy. There were some minor body issues, but nothing horribly wrong.

granted, that was the exception and not the rule. The point is, you could find an 03 that could be close to that price point. I would expect to pay a bit more for something you'd really want. Also, I wouldn't recommend going absolute lowest common denominator Evo with issues 'you could live with.' Those issues could turn into nightmares that will cost big $$$.

 

Cheapest clean title evo to sell on ebay recently was for $13,300. So miracles can happen if you have cash in hand and get a little lucky. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...US_Cars_Trucks

 

Here is one for 15k

You might be able to bargin a little. A buddy picked up an evo 8 with clean title a few weeks ago for 11k, so they are out there, just gotta act fast

Good luck!

And remember, it isn't a trip to Vegas unless you're completely faced before you get off of the plane, wake up back in SeaTac with no memory, a head that feels like Rosie O'Donnel is sitting on it, and some strange itching sensations in the nether regions.

P.S. If you're lookin for food, I have 2 pieces of advice.
1) There is a killer deal on the buffet's if that's your style, like 35 bucks for 24 hours at 7 different casinos
2) GeeBee's on the south end of Vegas, about 2 miles outside the strip, left side (if you're going south). It looks like a dive, but for 11 bucks a meal, my gf and I got our best food there on our 8 day stay. No joke. Best food.

Also, use the tram if you need to get around. 20 bucks for a day pass. Pays for itself if you're out trying to jam as much experience in as you can.

 

Memphis Championship BBQ and Texas de Brazil. If you don't go to one or the other, you "loose!" (damn I love that typo)

 

Dan are you going to the dyno day? I will be heading south saturday...any chance I could take that factory strut tower bar off your hands?

 

thanks for the food input! Luckily i've come down with a fun cold from the stress of dealing with the ex-wife (foreclosure and bankruptcy here I come!!!!!)

So this week will be extra cheap as it doesnt take much to get drunk on cold meds (not that it took very much without the meds)

Now i just need to find out if i can take tylenol on the plane? or do they consider that drugs or something???? Oh, i'm such a noob flyer!

i'll try to post a few pics to fb via the interwebz on my phone but wont get on here much....

WWRKD? He would hit Vegas hard and come back completely **** faced! woot woot!

 

in Vegas now, staying at the Tuscany, it was cheap. I know a few of you are down here, my cell is 3607201453.

 

oohh yeah!

 

Yep, I'll make sure it is in the car tonight! I'll text ya this time.

Switching topics; this is my kind of MW2!!!

So guys/gals its official, im moving to North Carolina. my wife and i are having a get together at my place to say farewell. it's going to be a BBQ on the 27th of this month. we are having HotDogs and and Burgers so if anyones down just PM me.

 

27th as in Friday? We are doing the Decption Pass cruise on Saturday the 28th. Too bad it didn't line up, as we could swing there on the way back. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get out back-to-back. Good luck on the move!

I finally remembered to look this up for a couple people that were asking. Replacement cabin filter, non oem:

- JoeTLC site
- RockAuto.com (can take a while to load)

I've known about the 1st site and found the 2nd site by doing a search for "TYC in cabin filter + lancer" on google. Anyway, prices are way less than what wants! I think quoted me like $65, last time I asked!
