I go there whenever I buy fireworks in Baldwin. Pretty nice scenery there :)

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

and we have lift off!

We sat through traffic leaving the city, and we are now about two hours into our 22 hour adventure. We're sipping beers at the a&w in Baldwin and about to delve into a large order of cheese curds and cheese fries (I love wisconsin!).

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

got to love the cheese

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

I hope your trip to Michigan goes better than mine, and you bring home a nicer baby then what I did :)

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

Well 7am and we're in michigan....somewhere! We hit up mcshit for breakfast and they had no ketchup, no cheese on my buiscut, and no cream and sugar for their 'premium' (aka crap) coffee. When walking out to the car we saw a maxima start up cold and do a huge smoking burnout in wet pavement.... The guy was late for work i guess!

Oh ya, and we're in the eastern time zone all of a sudden so now we're an hour late for pickup. :(

Hughes is giddy like a little school girl, so we might have to stop for a skirt or some tampons or something to calm him down!

Re: Dear members of this board:

Re: Dear members of this board:

Re: Dear members of this board:

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

Awesome :) I'm glad to see the trip is going well, and things seem to be going off without a hitch so far :) Good luck with the rest of the adventure!

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

That's a sweet hooride

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

Nice Evo. Love the white!

I know just the tweaks for it too! :D

Re: Dear members of this board:

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

sweetness! Pure sex!

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

Whew, glad to see your kid was white after all. It woulda been a dead giveaway that it wasn't yours if it was black. Congrats!

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

That's sick. Nice purchase.

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

I'll 100% sure be at OC this week. Looks great man, congrats on the purchase. :nod:

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

Chris you bastard. Ha ha ha, nice play on words though, I fell straight for it. I got all confused when I saw the pictures of the Evo and thought, "How the hell can he afford a Evo and a kid and not a S2k?" I had to go read the other pages and now I get it... more pictures??

Re: Dear members of this board:
 

Whew, what a crazy trip. About 1320 miles and hughes is the proud new parent of a ~3200 pound baby boy/girl named Lance/Eva. It came with springs/exhaust, and some other nice goodies; I'll let him share the details, but it was sure fun to bomb around in! On the way back I hit 34.5mpg in anna's GLI and hughes hit 27mpg on one of the only tanks we actually measured.

This thing is really nice, and it will be fun to take to the next level! Hughes, when are you coming over so we can start modding this thing some more! I took a bunch of pics, just to stir up the pot here:


The PROUD new father!!!

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Damn Hughes, that thing is fawking sexy!

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Wow thats great...buy. And I loved the plate she had on it too.

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

If Janelle says she likes the S2000 better than the Evo then it's time to find a new woman.

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

I hate you so much.

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Sweet ride dude! I dont think you will miss the S too much. :)

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

What a trip! Not only was that trip a ton of fun with the Scheides family I got a perfect Evo IX! This thing is seriously in perfect shape, there is not a ding or scratch on the car and the interior barely had a speck of dust in it! I'm really loving it so far, I think this was a great purchase! All of Scheides' pictures turned out great as always so I won't bother posting the few that I took. Please notice the white spooge stain in front of the Evo in one of the pics though...I couldn't help myself :D

The car is setup pretty well right now, but its of course going under the knife later this week :) Right now it has a Buschur Magnaflow turboback exhaust, intake, some other misc. crap, and Tein S-Tech springs. I am really happy with how the springs ride and how the car looks with the drop. I got it with about 10,700 miles from the original owner; she bought it in Oct. 2006.

Thanks again to Scheides and Anna for coming along, I know Janelle had fun shopping in Chicago with Anna!

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Very nice... Have fun with it and keep us posted with the mods!

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Gotta love the white. :wink:

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Coming from a fellow Evo owner, your car makes me jealous.

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

looks awesome!! congrats!

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Yeah I dunno how any sane person wouldn't feel a little jealous. That car is fucking CLEAN and sexy.

I can't wait to see it in person. :score010:

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Thanks for all the comments guys :)

Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to rebadge the rear or not. I was thinking if I do anything it will be a red Mitsu badge and a carbon fiber "Evolution IX"; possibly just the red badge....I don't know.

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

rebadge it with "plain old lancer... try me" ;)

are you at work today, chris? did you check your gmail?

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

PM sent.

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

replied to the email addy

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

I love Scheides' euro badges. Might be copying but if I was going to re badge i'd put euro style badges on.

Re: Dear members of this board: (UPDATED w/ PICS)
 

Looking good!
