Back in the saddle again...

Picking this up tomorrow. I totaled my VIII in November and tried to go back to an Audi. 5th one but missed the Evo too much.

Looks great, tires are the ones I have on the car and they are fairly decent, make sure you look over the car dry, the water can cover up A LOT of defects in the paint. Although under the hood looks fairly stock.

Good luck with the buy and welcome back, ps. Love the wheels and color choice

I had some financial issues which killed my credit, and when it came time for a good car again I test drove a 2012 Camaro SS and fell in love. Now it's been 3 weeks and I know in my heart I made a mistake. Yesterday I went to the local track and watched the Evo's rip it up on the Auto-X, The big track (open track day), and late night drags, and I miss my Evo so much!! I'm going to bite the bullet, pay down the depreciation, and get another down-payment together for an Evo X MR. Shouldn't take more than about 6 months...

It's funny I was thinking "at least the Camaro will be a great drag car...426hp!" but nope. Best I could manage was a 2.3 second 60' and 13.7 @ 108 mph on the edge of busting an axle w/ all the wheel hop. My bone stock Evo VIII did 13.4 back in 2003 lol.

Well that explains why these Camaro SS's always rev on me when they see me. The owners are just mad they made a mistake and wish they had my car.

All jokes aside I like the Camaro's and new 5.0 Stangs. But living in Texas you see those things everywhere. I love how I will go months without seeing an Evo. I cant take a short drive without seeing a Camaro or Stang.

Switching cars every 10 months and you have financial issues?

Just messing with you. Grats being back in an Evo. I could never pay for a car and wish I owned a different one. I just traded mine in.. Looking forward to the time when I will own one again, but it will be in 3-4 years. I've been considering just doing the perfect Mirage -> Evo 5 swap and doing it right too.. but again, that would be down the road..

Got other priorities right now..
