goodbye to my evo

well, here are the parting shots of my evo leaving the valley. she is heading across the country to a new home with joseph k off the forums.
I am betting that every car this transport passes will be staring at the evo...

good luck and treat her well joseph

yea... don't know yet.
drove a 350 the other day.
salesman was commenting on how fast the car was. accellerated onto an onramp with the gas floored and I just kept waiting for the car to move..

I suppose in the world of sports cars, they are fast, but after having an evo it was a disappointment..

this dude is transporting some nice cars. the truck in front of the evo is a slammed gmc with a nice paint job and some serious lip going on the rear rims, the 60's nova in front is definately NOT stock, and a clean jetta with a few bolt-ons up on top.
the car hanging on the rear top is a TRASHED mercedes. someone has a lot of work ahead of them....

Why did you get rid of your evo?

I can't wait to get home to drive it. Thanks for all the help, Scott. I will keep you posted on what it makes at Dyno4mance in May.

I think we can talk him into calling South Coast Mitsubishi, then Buschur for a nice WT package!

Who me? I am trying to get on the frickin' list for the dyno day with Shiv @ dyno4mance, but if I can't I am going to have Andrew work his magic.

No, I was talking to SandM.

However, you could just go to TopSpeed in Mid-May to get a custom Dynoflash tune (road or dyno).

original plan was to buy a truck. I have a full time day job, and have started building 2 houses, and hope to do more, but as the day to lose the evo drew closer, I am going to miss a sports car.

don't know what will eventually come out of it, but we'll see.

a ix would be nice, as they seem to have the same power as my modded 8 with just an exhaust and a flash, but it's a spendy payment, and esentially the same car I just sold.
