Welcome to the world of EVO's.

You better tighten the seatbelt....compared to a Cobalt SS, your going to need to check your underwear after a spin in the EVO

Yes. It is definately a different beast. Purpose built for sure. It actually feels easier to drive than my cobalt.

Ugh. More money in tires..... The yokos on it now are so ****ed. This car is/was way out of alignment. All 4 corners are worn different, parts of the tires are bald, others have full tread. Denny said that wasnt too uncommon and hopefully i can get them aligned early next week.

welcome to evoM man. hope you enjoy your new ride.

and like evolved said, make sure you get some winter tires. the stock yokos are a death sentence below 40 degrees.

Check for those rubber blocks in the springs too. Sometimes(rarely) dealers don't take them out and it can effect handling.

And yeah, the alignments are almost always out from the factory.

Nah man, the alignment on our cars is usually pretty good. You have to remember that the factory runs -1 camber, which will wear the insides on the front. You can only adjust the camber -1 or -2 on the stock suspension. It's really not a problem when rotated properly. Although, the stock advans are directional, so you really need to mount and remount all tires when rotating. No one in their right mind would do this, but it's the only way for maximum life.

Hey Justin, it looks like you're ready for Halo 3. I've been trying to get back into the game with Halo 2. And I finally bought a 360. Let me know what your online ID is and we can play whenever I get my account set up.

Thanks for the input guys. What are the rubber blocks you are talking about?

Little spacers, that they shove in the struts/springs during shipment. You'll see them if they're there.

Look, up in the sky it's the Travmann signal.

Travmann on here had them in his car. They are black rubber blocks put in the springs so they don't compress when they ship the cars across the sea.
