My Ex-Evo

Found some of the last pics of my Evo before i traded it in. Sometimes i wonder why i let her go

Going from evo to an mdx is like going from a perfect 10 model to the girl that works midnight shift at your local wendy's. All I ask is, wtf were you thinking?

When you and the service manager are on a first name basis its not a good sign. I think I will get back into one sometime in the future.

That plate looks familiar, I think I might have seen you a few times, when I used to have the TL.

I test drove one and almost bought it but i think they are still asking too much for my budget. It really depends on what you are looking for. The X is definitely a watered down version of the VIII and IX.

I'll wait til the MDX is almost paid off then might have to pull the trigger. That still gives me a year or two.

Whereabouts?
I'm sure I've seen you on I-95 south, I live near Stamford and I used to cruise up and down 95 often, it was fun just driving up and down I-95 for a cruise even when gas was $4.00/gal, I can't do it now that the TL lease was up. The worst part now is the fact that they brought down the black Chargers with the standard plates, so it's impossible to distinguish them from ordinary Chargers.

The biggest distinguishing factor is the dark tints and the antenna in the rear, other than that, no dead giveaways, except for the dual exhaust. That's why everytime I see someone in a Charger I'm cautious.
