Already got the permenant plates? Around here it takes 30 days or so. Nice ride.

Nope. The guy who does the temp tags was gone when I bought it, so they gave me a dealer tag in the meantime.

Alloy was the term they used. I didn't pick it, it was just already on the car. I kind of like it though.

Looks pretty cool for being a car... my suggestion, don't do anything to it... lots of stuff will probably make it look like a ricer, and IMO, its great how it is now.

The only stuff I was really thinking about was new tires, window tint, and sometime down the road, maybe a turbo. They left tons of room in the engine bay to fit a forced induction system.

You like that new car smell? Nice looking ride.

Thanks.

No Prob. It's way better than your avatar smells.

How does 'The Angry Fish' sound. Because that is what it looks like.

nice man!! those lancers look so sexy.
i would remove the silver pinstripe tho. its not good on it imo.

and yeah some tint and powder coating the rims black or gun metal gray. just to give a subtle look to it.

Nice idea. Those rims would look really good in gun metal.

Tread, nice ride!!!!!

I'd picked that color too. Did you get a good deal on it? Why an Evo and not a Subaru?

It's a Lancer GTS, not an Evo. I didn't go with a Subaru because insurance is higher, and I think they're kind of ugly. I paid $22,189 out the door, they gave me $3000 for my trade in (worth $1500 tops), and I got it on a 60 month 0% interest loan.

 

[Hopman]

sorry, my mistake. Sounds like you got a good deal.

Well, I hope you enjoy it. Just let me take it for a spin when I get down there.

something like this

ohh yes

 

[Original_Ranger84]

Haha except that ones a Hatch back...

Nice car man, I love that body style for the new lancers! Too bad the only mitsu dealership up here closed or I would have convinced my dad to get one.

How is it on gas?

How is it on gas?

I haven't had it long enough to tell for sure, but my onboard computer shows an average of 21.2 mpg so far. That's all been pretty aggressive city driving, though. It went up by a full mpg average after 10 miles on the interstate.
