Holy Fast N Furious! Definitely not my cup of tea but it's hard to deny that guy has some talent. Just wish he would have picked another palette.

Aside from the paint job, which is a little much for my taste, the car looks to be a pretty clean, stock car with 7100 miles. That's pretty low mileage and while the price might be a little high, it's not too far off.

I always think it's interesting how often people on forums will aggressively critique and declare how little they would be willing to pay for an Evo or how little they think someone's Evo might be worth. Just a thought, but instead of ripping into the previous owner's decision or the value of the car itself it might be smarter for us to extoll on the virtues and value of these different cars for sale if nothing else to help support the prices we've paid for our own cars and all of our aftermarket purchase decisions.

That, or maybe I need more coffee...

I don't know. You lost me at extoll. But my vocabulary sucks.

I think if the car were stock then it might me a little over priced. But you would be able to talk them down some.

But I think the majority (according to responses) would want to paint the car if they were to own it. Not to many seem to be willing to sport the dragon everyday. So if I was to purchase I would also have to factor in the cost of a good paint job as well.

I am just wondering if you will loose the "6 speed" if you paint over the dragon and flames?

The airbrushing is f***ing amazing, no doubt on that. Not my style, but everyone needs to remember that we all used to have a weird, crazy, flamboyant, or trendy style at one point or another.

Smart move going with the subtle approach. If you had, for example, pointed out that "extol" was not only spelled incorrectly, but is also a transitive verb, then people would lose all respect for you.

I didnt even know it was spelled incorrectly let alone a transitive verb. My spelling sucks as well. Give me a break though, I go to a community college on the eastside.

Nice and you are most impressive. You certainly have me on the spelling as I struggle to check my typing carefully when posting with my iPad. And, it is a transitive verb though I would argue my usage, while not perfect, is acceptable. Thanks so much.

Dragon miles are similar to dog years. They are 10 to 1. So it is really about 71k miles. But again.....DRAGON

Yeah, but it takes me seven prunes, three cups of coffee, and five cigarettes to ... um ... get things moving in the morning, so my personality has its downsides.

ps. I agree that "extol" is often treated as intransitive, just as "myriad" is often treated as a noun
