Trading in the evo for a minivan!

Time has come to part with the baby to make room for my new daughter (and 2 cute dogs)! Hopefully gonna get a bike in the summer to satisfy the need for speed

Thanks for all the help and laughs over the last year

I have a free stock catback if anyone wants it, location is Albany NY, 12203. On the car for 6 months

Other parts for sale listed in the for sale forum (with pics) which I am practically giving away (I am also going to finish my basement so I dont have room to store anything)

Getch 1/4 mile timer (older version)
basic OBD 2 code reader
Perrin elect o2 fix
Used Megan DP/TP
Hankook Winter tires (stock size) with maybe 6000 easy miles on them
Front floor mats (used for 2 weeks from new)
DP donut gasket.

Really gonna miss the car, but I got college funds etc to save for now

No shizzle! We have a WRX wagon , but its too small. Ah well. I wish I hadnt babied the car so much now. Actually I dont. It will be nice that someone will get a good evo with no problems.

Has anyone ever started a "sold evo thread" so that people who buy them used can look them up on evom?

You'd be surprised how well the proper baby seat fits in an Evo... and the look on the face of a dispatched foe when they see the empty baby seat afterward ...on a track of course... however that still does not leave room for the dogs!

Good luck though... I just got a crotch rocket, and to be honest, it does not provide the same satisfaction the Evo does.

How much for the tires shipped to Washington?

Good luck with the minivan. Get an AWD version and FI that bad boy! The Hond a Odyssey is a great minivan. Lots of room and power, especially for a minivan.
