The "Crisis" continues!

Well, after 6.25 years and 103,000 miles of pure unadulterated fun driving it was time to extend what my wife has called my "mid-life crisis car" for another "X" amount of years!

The X was delivered safely from California in the middle of a raging thunderstorm (oh what a wonderful summer we are having on the East Coast). Apart from the morons in the business office at Serramonte wanting to delay delivery of the MSO to me for 10 days after my cashier's check had cleared, the experience of buying and shipping the car to Connecticut was extremely straightforward. Arnold there did a great job for me!

Although the car was only delivered last night, here she is with her new shoes on. So if anyone wants a set of stock Advans with a genuine 57 miles use, let me know. Would have preferred white this time but it wasn't an option, Silver looks classy anyway!

I will miss my 8 when I sell her especially the snug tight fit JDM Recaros, but the deal was just too good to refuse.

Congrats on your newly purchased Evo X. Save up some cash and get the basic upgrades plus tune.

300whp/300wtq is very easily attainable w/ filter and tune alone.
