...so I was talking to a tech working at Jiffy Lube and he said something that I thought I would ask this forum...
"Never ride your car in fifth gear. It puts too much unneeded strain on the engine... I never go higher than fourth gear. Ever!"
Is there any validity to this...?

Epic Fail On Jiffy Lube Techs 
most of those bums off the street aren't even qualified to change oil and I am praying you didn't let them change yours

Yah the shop did an amazing job for a stupid cheap price. I love the flat black look, now I gotta figure out what I'm doing with the headlights and taillights. Do I just go to a tint shop and have them tint them to get the smoke grey color.

When I got to my unit, I parked in a normal spot between regular cars. When the day was over, I went to my car and was surprised to be surrounded by tactical vehicles!!! Believe me, I checked all over for scratches. They didn't set off my alarm, and no new scratches!
Had me worried for a second!!!
Just thought I would add some pictures of my car from today. I don't know about you guys, but every time I see my Evo it feels like the first time.

If you have a car, you should check out this shop on N. Lois and W. Osborne. There is an Evo there with a flat tire and no spoiler. It has been sitting there for months. I've asked time and time again if it's for sale and they say no. So, it just sits there. Unused. What a waste of a fine machine!
Anyway...
...I bring this up because maybe you'd like to check it out and ask about it. Maybe you'll have better luck...?
Honestly, I drive by it often and it has never moved. Not in months. They don't tell me about it because the owner is never there... Or something like that. I'm just saying... check it out if you want.
PS: Thanks for the comps on my car! Can't wait to see yours (when you get it)!!!

Just curious... the Evo crew in Orlando meets up every Saturday night to chill and enjoy Proccolino's Pizza (yes, EvoProcco's pizza place). Unfortunately, we don't have an Evo owned pizza joint in town. However, we can choose any place and meet up there for food and drinks... Maybe a place with tv's so people can enjoy sports as well.
This is just a feeler. Wanted to know who might be interested. I used to drive every Saturday to these meets... but that was one tank of gas every weekend! I would love to have something like this in Tampa.
Since most of you live in the same general area, you guys should come together to choose a spot we can get together.
How about it... Anyone?

Here is the Central Florida Autodrama event... up until it rained out. Because of the rain, the judging was never complete. Hence, no trophies!!! Oh well. Met some interesting people there and it was nice to have a few Tampa Evos out there!!!

i grew up in miami and lived there until i was a freshman in high school...its an awesome place but unfortunately it does have a high crime rate and A LOT of stolen cars each week...i would just make sure your cautious of where you park (especially at night), and dont leave stuff visible on your seats or in your cup holders....have a great trip man...i always have fun when i go down there because my best friend still lives down there..
