Re: New Member - Lancer Evolution X
Wow...I go away for a few days, to chill with my girl, and this happens? Watkins tries to b*slap a newbie? And fails!
Welcome aboard, you lucky Evo-X driving SOB. /jealousy J/K man...it's a sweet looking car. The only thing I don't like about the newer Evo-Xs is that gray front grille part. I know it's the "in" thing after the Audi R8 and all the other extremely-super-high-OMG-ultimate-ultra-obscenely expensive sports cars, but it looks unfinished IMHO. I'll wait on buying one until they offer that painted with the rest of the car as an option.

view it with the sun behind it and it blends in with the upper and lower grille to look like a giant gaping hole. pretty crazy.

I think the rest of the SSers might segregate us at the meet if we keep this up

Wheels and Drop.
But seriously, nice car. At first, I didn't really like the styling of the new Evo's but it's really grown on me, especially after seeing it in person a couple times. Have fun with it.

Re: New Member - Lancer Evolution X
Seems like the dust has settled, but I'll point it out: there's no need to diss someone's car just because it's a company you don't like. I'm not a particularly huge fan of the Evo, but I think the car looks pretty damn good, and will run circles around my Mz3. And your Saab. 'Nuff said.

Re: New Member - Lancer Evolution X
Thanks for the "warm" welcome guys...
Seriously the X haters are mostly those who haven't driven it yet, it truly is an evolution from the 9. If you guys hold a meet nearby, maybe I should drop by and show you what I mean.
Thank you John, I had an Rx8 before and my friend has the Mz3 Hatchback, I know for a fact that Mazda truly knows what a sports car is. Best sports-family car you can get for under 20g's, better than the Lancer
I hope I didn't cause too much of a ruckus but all I wanted was to join this awesome forum, not to quibble with veteran members over a meaningless thing.

Thanks. I meant no harm either, lets just forget about all this happening
I love Saabs by the way, they have wacky placement for the ignition and actually go like jets.
But nothing can beat the Mazda advertisement of the Jamaican guy singing ZOOM ZOOM ZOOMMMMMMMMM. Or the touching Japanese song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTM0Tict ... re=related

Re: New Member - Lancer Evolution X
Welcome to the site.
I looked at both Lancers and Imprezas when I was looking for a MT car. I just happen to find a used WRX first.
The 08 Evo and 08 STI are both ugly but I'd still buy either one if I had the money. From what I've read, they both have their goods and bads. When stock, Evos are more track oriented and STIs are more street/rally oriented. It's just what you want in a car.
And there's no need to bash each others cars. Let just stick to bashing crappy auto drivers and ricers that aren't on this site.

What's that car on the left? I've seen it before but I can't remember what it is.
