That is some bullsh!t. Lokey wouldn't let me test drive the car until I had a serious talk with those guys about how to sell a car.

You know when I was in the gulf the first time. My ex-wife was kind enough to drive my firehawk that I had. Sports cars are as good for picking up dudes as chicks I guess (of course that's why she's my ex now).

Boy do I have issues lol

You know I went to play paintball one morning with a bunch of guys from work. I took the Montero and told the wife to take the EVO to work. About half way there the cell phone rings and the wife says come get the car when I'm done. It was about 38 degrees that morning and she had never seen how much power the car has in the cold. She said it scared the Sh%$ out of her and she didn't want to drive it any more. I also learned never run it out of a light when there is a mustang next to you, it tends to have a very negative effect on your sex life for the next few weeks!

Hey, have to notice that you have the evo 7 badge on the way. Why didn't you buy the new 8 badge they are selling. I have the 7 on my car and now regret that I didn't wait for the 8. I will probably end up changing it.

There are a couple of people that I hang with that have Evos. One has a 7 badge the other has the 8 badge. I decided I liked that one. =) I actually installed it today.

The SS clutch line is in my garage. I have to get some synthetic gear oil.
