Ugggggggh, long post deleted when Chrome decided not to connect to the forums.

In short: Interesting topic, Evo IXs are wicked cool and light-years faster than my Maxima, last car was my first car, an '01 Ford Taurus with the massively-heavy, woefully-underpowered Iron Monster called the (Flex-Fuel) Vulcan. With the interior and passenger seat removed, I clocked it at a 9.06 second 0-60. Whoooooo! Blown head gaskets and a myriad of electrical failures prompted the move to more safe, fun waters.


Beautiful color, terrible car. Here we are, broken down on the side of the interstate after the FOURTH powertrain control module relay burned out. Thanks, UAW, for putting so little effort into making your cars. (A sticker on the window states "BUILT WITH PRIDE BY UAW #XX IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA" HAHAHAHAHA.)

I'll bite...
My first car (purchased February 2009) was a 2001 Toyota Celica GT with an AEM CAI and an Option Racing axleback exhaust. The commercials were painfully true. It just looked fast. 125 ft lbs of torque and tall gearing (4 speed auto) will do that.



This is why it's gone


Looked good though

Before the 2010, a 2002, a 2001 before that and the car that triggered all the Max's the classic green1996. All have been passed down in the family and scattered among the states, except the 2001 which went to car heaven. So the car before the Max's ......... A Plymouth Mini Van! I don't think I even have any pictures of it.
