Just bought a evo VIII and love it

Just thought I would introduce myself. My wife and I are kinda new to the whole import car seen.. Were used to american muscle. ie: dodge, plymouth etc. I took our 2003 dodge ram in for a tranny flush. when I pulled on to the lot I saw a apex silver evo sitting there. I told myself, I'm going to "test drive that car" lol. There are two guys with evos at work and they love them. I do have to say that I gave their cars the once over and was very impressed with the fit and finish. So I took it for a drive. This was 9 am, the sells guy told me to take it home and let the wife drive it and keep it till 5pm. I said "Sucker". Little did I know how much fun that ride was going to be. The wife liked it instantly. Well to make a long story short, they gave me what I wanted for the truck, and I paid what I wanted for the evo. Its been smiles every since this seems to be "the evo site" so here I am. I cant wait to start the mods.

Don't do carbon fiber mod's, start with performance. Buy a turbo back exhaust and intake and go from there. And the stock evo suspension is awesome if your not doing any major driving and mainly commuting.

/\/\/\ keep it real, keep it stock-looking! the best mods are performance mods not looks!
