Check out our new member in our family.

Check out this new 2005 Evo that my younger sister just got yesterday. I tried to convince her to get the 2005 MCS but her mind was set for the EVO. I had tested drive the EVO and man this thing fly. Wish my MCS can fly like the EVO but I only can dream or buy a used EVO just for fun. Just love the power of the EVO …….

Yeah, I think you definitely got the better deal on many fronts. Fast-only cars are becoming a dime a dozen.....yawn.

My older brother has a Evo and my Cooper S should arrive at the dealership by the end of the month. The Evo is a absolute weapon. But I don't think I'll be able to utilize even 70% of the car's potential on the street without landing myself in jail . My Cooper S is gonna be Hyper Blue and the color of the Evo is Blue-By-You. The two colors is very similar but of course the HB is metallic.

I thought we squeezed all that we could about the Evo on the Off-Topics Auto section...
about porno machines and mutant ninja's and all sorts of stuff.
(maybe the wording was a little different).

Evo's are fast...

yeah, the Evo may be fast, but the MINI is in a class all by it self.

Exactly... Thats one of the reasons I sold my Z06 for the MCS. You can't put your foot in it for more than a second or two without seriously breaking the law.

Better to drive a slow car fast, then a fast car slow.

I had a good friend of mine had serious problems with his Evo, and after a certain point he changed it with a new 05 GTO. The car is stupidly fast, very good handling but no class at all, cheap plastics and ugly looks. But it kepps up with almost all exotic sports cars, and assures you to lose your driver's license in 30 days.

See, that's why you get both a MINI and an Evo. Our cars now include teh Evo for that neck snapping power, an xB for the car that we put all the miles on, and a MINI for the sophisticated combination of the 2. Amazingly enough though, our Evo is bright yellow and cops NEVER bother us. If they are out lasering people especially, they tend to concentrate on the minivans and semis anymore. Even if we are going faster than everyone else, if there is a minivan rapidly changing lanes, they are going after them.

What does you sis plan on doing with that car? It makes a great auto-x car and its amazing how little money it takes to have it pushing 350hp at all 4 wheels
