any evo's in the ft walton beach and surrounding area?

im moving to flordia in june of 2006 i know it sounds like quite some time away, but i have to go to korea b4 i get to fla . I WILL be buying an evo as soon as i get there and wanted to get into the car scene again. just wanted to see how many evo's are out there and maybe get a chance to get to know a couple of u guy's in advance. ill be new to the area so hopefully someone could show me the ropes of fla. i have been watching this site for over a year now, i finally got off my butt and registered(got sick of being a spectator here). not a day goes by that i dont think about 2006 and buying my lancer evo9 ................(daydreams)..........

Hope every thing turns out ok for you guys. My wife was suppose to go down to Eglin and pick up house hold goods but since they evacuated everyone she had to reschedule.

well here it is these pictures were taken in 2002 and the other one in 2004. Sherwin Williams green/purple chamelaeon color, Vis full body kit, shaved door handles w/35lb poppers, seam sealed rear bumper, one of a kind custom molded turbo spolier(just built up from the original spoiler) clear head and tail lights, 225/40/R18 kumho tires and focal rims. the pictures were scanned and not taken with a digi camera i kick my self in the *** for not having better pictures seeing how i sold the car. short ram intake, nogly ignition coil amplifiers w 8mm wires and bosch platinum 4 plugs. upper front and rear strut bar's. carbon fiber dash kit. it's a 96 rs(non-turbo). the car was all show and no go, sold it because it was my daily driver and the up keep on the maintance w/ the paint was burning a hole in my pocket. if the paint got scratch a i would have to paint the whole panel not just a section the paint wouldnt blend right. Paint back then was about $400 a pint. I sure do miss it tho.

The track here is pretty good , but its only an 1/8th we need a local 1/4 mile. The dealer everyone (for the most part) bought their EVO's from is Pete Moore in Pensacola. When you get in town I am sure we can get you hooked up. Take it easy.
