Oh man, another one lost. I think I saw your new 335 on Arlington on Christmas Eve. I was in my beater though, you wouldn't have recognized me. The new ride looks nice Alex! You actually got me thinking...

Ive seen some of Evolutions work and it looks DAMN good!

Alex-Im really looking forward to seeing the 335. Im heading to GA and detailing a buddy's Evo and my Moms Sentra, so it should give me a good feel of the new product and Ill take pics of the results, so your 335i will be the cleanest around

I got most of my tattoo's in Los Angeles, but I got 2 done at Distinct Ink (Mark) in Carson City. He does great work, and the prices are a lot better than the prices in Reno.

All of my friends get their work done by Garrett at Pirate Tattoo. He is a little pricier than Distinct Ink, but he does amazing work.

Reno update... Another Evo MR gone.

I too have sold my Evo... What a fun car, I loved it. What really sucks is that I sold it to a kid in LA that got it home, had it 3 days, and someone stole it.
My baby, I took such great care of that car, it broke my heart to hear that it got stolen. Kid finally got it back, cops caught a guy driving it, get this, he was sitting on a bucket when they caught him. They stole the rear wing, bent the rear seat in half (who knows), stole the harness bar, stole the center console, stole all of the data logging computers out, stole the front seats (Evo IX seats) and they sprayed the entire car with some sort of oily substance (they think to keep finger prints off). They left the BBS wheels and a full titanium JIC Magic exhaust. So the kids insurance repaired the car but they couldn't source replacement seats from any dealer so they cut the kid a check for $10,000 to replace the seats...that's what the dealership charges for those seats! In fact, in LA the car lots have had a bunch of break ins on Evo IX's on their lots due to people just stealing the seats.... crazy.

So I bought a replacement car that I've always wanted, a Porsche Turbo X50. She's fast! But I tell you what, after driving the Porsche for awhile it just reafirms that the little Evo is a wicked car. It's not as quick or fast, but in the handling world it aint far off (mine was moderately modified in both engine and suspension). In fact I had my Evo up over 165mph for quite some time out in the middle of nowhere NV and it was brilliant, super sure footed and very confidence inspiring at those speeds... and that little grocery cart handle on the back does it's job very well at those speeds so don't let anyone tell you its pointless. To be honest, the Porsche takes some ***** to drive it beyond those speeds on anything but the smoothest roads. It needs more downforce, tends to get a little light on the front. That will be remedied, but it sure spoke a lot about the capability of the little Evo. Enjoy them, they're great!
