My new plate - take that X's (all in good fun)

All tongue-in-check here. I like the X's for what they are - a new, refined, Evolution. But I am a purist - give me a raw, striped down, loud, crappy interior, Evo

I saw the 4G63RIP that an X had and that got me thinking...at the same time I was in the process of getting new plates for my car. A friend of mine had some cool ideas and we came to this one below.

Yes, my car is salty, I just washed it yesterday too...



Also testing the camera on my cell phone (BB Storm). And actually, its pretty clear.

Technically, the X is more of a real Evo than any US VIII or IX. All our CT9A cars were neutered of their SAYC.

You should have to give that plate to an X owner you see.

Haha, this coming from the 135i Mod

I don't need SAYC - I like that terrified feeling you can get in mid-corner

Was with ATT, had the Tilt, first gen SmartPhone, worked but slow and Windows based - crashed often. Moved to VZN, it was this or the Bold. I don't need a super SmartPhone for my needs. This was closest to the iPhone for me. So far, its ok.

A 135i mod that owned a 550HP Evo VIII, a 360HP Evo IX, and a 375 HP Evo X. I have a pretty darn good yardstick for comparing them; donchoo forget it, son.

To me, SAYC mid-corner oversteer is 10x more pucker factor than the understeer push you get from a CT9A. An Evo X driven at 10/10ths in fury is still an Evo, I promise.

On topic, I just called the Medina police and told them some crazy guy in a black car with a plate that said "REALEVO" threw a lit molotov out the window at me.

They now have an APB out on your car. You might want to watch out.

i think the pun doesnt apply to the X, because for one.. it IS A REAL EVO.. i think you mightve put the pun directed to other lancer and ralliart owners by mistake..
