Going to be new Evo owner!

2zzgtte · 10-22-2009

Hey guys, just thought i'd introduce myself. My name is Nick, I am from Cedar, MN and I have recently purchased a new RR Evo 8. On saturday I am going to get it in michigan! 95talonracer and I are going to get it. I am extremely excited!

Just thought I would say Hi, and I am looking forward to being apart of your guys's big Mitsubishi family!

Edit: Oh BTW, I am still a die-hard Toyota fan. Maybe I will change my opinion soon!

I am pretty sure it is an 05. The bank and insurance had no problems with the VIN number. I am going to go check the title when i get to work...

Edit: Title says 05. I guess I cant argue with that.

Where in Michigan? Hughes and I drove to Ann Arbor for teh gheyrod (his IX) just shy of two years ago now, it was a blast! We spent the night in NW Chicago burbs at a place withing walking distance of a huge mall. The girls slept in and went there for a bit, and we woke up early, bombed to ann arbor, test drove, bank, blah blah blah, and bombed back. Topped it off with a trip to Gino's East (best chicago pizza evar) and bombed back to MN.

Ihearrtdsm · 10-22-2009

Yep thats him. We got that motor swap done and custom exhaust made, welded, and installed too. Time to move to better cars like the EVO and the Celica is up for sale!

**4seasons69** · 10-22-2009

nice looking car! I'm thoroughly jealous! I want an evo so bad!

mike55112 · 10-22-2009

Def an upgrade. I guess I will be meeting you tomorrow night. Once you drive it you wont ever want to touch your celica again.
