Default Im buying a Evo!

Well I have this year as a senior in highschool and I was in the shopping for a car that could handle driving 90 miles a day round trip to college. So I ended up deciding I want the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X w. a DOHC2.0 16 valve turbo 320hp/325tq engine. I just love the new look of them and the paddle shifters! Not to mention the 0-60 in under 4.5 secs... Im going up to norman ,OK to test drive one. ButI tell you this I will still have my Dodge to pull it!

Heres a link to a picture of a new evo!

Good choice, but you won't be driving one for about another 6 months.

That's not true... it's a little more than that.

That's pretty cool.
If I were you I'd just buy a beater to put miles on (like an old cavalier or something)
so you can build up your truck. Car payments suck.

thats what i did.. started back to college this week and with work and school i run about 85 to 100 miles a day... ended up buying a 95 VW golf 2.0 gasser hatchback.... pretty good shape... body is nice (galvinized body panels) gets about 30 mpg right now... by all means am i NOT gonna rice it out but i am gonna do some MPG enhancments .. since thats what i bought it for... paid 1200 ... i had to get something german based...

beaters are nice to have.. rather put the miles on this thing then the ram... especially when my tires for the ram were 900 bones

Yeah for real and they only last about 30,000 miles if you're lucky.
