New to the forum...new to Evo's

Hey everybody, I'm new to the forum and thought that I would introduce myself here. I actually have been lurking around for a few months, but finally joined the other day and I have to say that this forum has a great wealth of knowledge and resources, a tribute to the quality of members. I purchased my first evo, a 2006 SE with 24 miles on the clock about 2 days ago and what a great car! Fantastic handling, better than my old Porsche Turbo FTW! My past cars included a 1997 M3, 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo, and 1999 MB E55 AMG and I will have to say that this car tops them all, I absolutely love it. I look forward to reading future write-ups, stories and just plain random stuff and hope to contribute as well. Well, without further ado, the pics

Thanks and yeah, I've been going easy on it for the break in period, but I'll admit that it is tough.

The E55 was a great car, it really was. It had the power to move and great looks and a very nice interior, but it was just too much maintenance ($1000 for front brakes, $400 for spark plugs, etc etc.), and honestly it just wasn't sporty enough. I couldn't throw it into corners, I couldn't take it to the Auto X's which I really missed, and the auto tranny was lacking.
