evolution owns all

i tok an evolution IX MR out for a test drive the other day. Oh man, it was the most fun i have ever had in a car. I just sold my rx-7 in preparation for my new car and all i can think about now is the evo. I was thinking about what i would do if i did not get an evo, like what car i would get then. But i could not come up with any answer that would satisfy me. I thought about an e36 M3 but nope that wont do it. So i thought about a Subaru 2.5 rs with a sti swap or something along those lines, now that would be fun, but it would also be alot of work and i would undoubtedly run into some major headaches (i like to avoid headaches whenever possible). And then i thought about another rx-7 but this time it would have to be an fd instead of an fc. Now this is the only car that i could think of in the price range that could offer up anywhere near the excitement of the evo. But having just sold my last rx-7 because of all the trouble it gave me, i just dont think that a newer more trouble prone car is the way i want to go. So i am back to the evo and the conclusion that once you drive an evo, you do whatever it takes to buy an evo of your very own. So in sumation i just want to say that the evolution is truly an amazing car. Name one other car asides from the sti that is practical and this much fun to drive. I can not think of a single one.

My plan is to keep my VIII and keep modifying. Then in about a year from now, buy a BR350 IX and store it for the future and hope to make a ton of money on it through Barrett-Jackson Auction 50 years from now (fingers crossed)

sold my FD for an EVO, the saleman thought I was nuts! FD's have tooooo many problems, not more than the evo, but it is a ticking time bomb.

Because of my Evo, i'm in the process of buying land and building a race track. That should tell you something about how much i love this car.

Walkedu, are you seriously considering doing it? I am interested and have been thinking about doing the same thing as well, but just do not know about the process and its value in terms of the making money consistently over time.

That just might work! I like your thinking.
