So...
As many of you know, I have a wonderful white Talon Tsi. Driving that car is like Heaven. And, it's provided me with some loving help in our symbiotic relationship. One story in particular, where she held my wallet in the wing for miles is worth the money I continue to put into her.
Parts are getting scarce for the old girl, so I'm relegating her to summer use to stretch out the time together. Plus, I have scheduled some work to fix some body issues.
My wife says to get rid of the Talon, but "you can pry the steering wheel out of my cold dead hands" In my "Last Will and Testimony" the car goes to my daughter, who always loves "Daddy to rub out the loser in the FU lane"
I just bought a Mitsubishi Evolution X MR. Premium package, made from Japan. All the bells and whistles. 2011 38k on it! Man...what a blast to drive!
I have to blame you guys for showing off your cars. lol Now that little itch to get the same has been scratched.
Love both my cars! I have some pics...does anyone have an account to which I can post (like give them to you?)

I'm trying to get used to the gear paddles!
The car drives so quiet.
I know when my Talon hits 60km/h
The Evo...at 100km/h it feels the same than at 40...gotta watch the speedometer now!

Let me give you all some observations after having this guy for over a month.
a) I've decided the Evo is a "HE" and will be addressed as such. b) Talon has always been a lady c) the SuperSport mode scares the H*LL out of me d) Guys in Suburu's always give me the thumbs up e) Lancer lads always ask "is that...is that...and I just nod like I'm the coolest thing" f) My wife actually loves it (especially when I open the doors and help her in and out)
Overall, it's pretty Spartan for a car worth 65K, but I love it nevertheless. Can't wait for the selective modding in a few years.

Thanks Reza.
I'll be by your place next year to get tuned up (both Talon and Evo)
Is your car still at Ivan's?
