    Default I'm thinking about selling the Evo. UPDATED!

    Check out my for sale thread.

    http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/...2#post36254802

    I'm just not feeling cars right now. My car is just sitting in the garage collecting dust. It needs a new clutch and a retune since I did some things, but I don't even feel motivated to do anything with it.

    I have an 800 hp car with nitrous and I'm bored with it. I never in a million years would have thought I would say this. I'm guessing with the nitrous the car will put down in the area of 900-1000 hp. My clutch( Exedy), would never hold the power to even try it.

    I got on an airplane for the first time in 23 years and swore up and down my whole life I would never fly again. Now that I've broken my fear of flying I would rather travel the world with my wife than drop another part in this car.

    When I flew back into Atlanta a week ago, I immediately booked a trip to the Sandals Resort in Jamaica and another trip to Germany. I think I want to fly over to Australia and possible Japan also in the near future.

    My friends and coworkers knew this was coming. I'm just not feeling cars right now. I just bought another truck and I would rather cruise in it than drive my Evo.

    I don't even kinow what I could sell my car for considering how much money I have in it.

    Don't get me wrong. I could see my next "toy" being a stock C6 Z06.

    It wouldn't stay stock for long.

    A cam-only C6Z would be pretty fun and still easily able to cruise around in and go on long trips with.

    Good luck in whatever you decide.

    g/l phil, but you will be back. My car right now just sits in the garage collecting dust too. I think I am going to sell it, because I dont drive it. I will still be picking up a GTR though in 09, so that is when I will be back.

    I guess getting close to 40 changes how you look at life. Not everyone is Ronie material, In a sine note I think ronie invented ST racing.

    GL w/the sell though.

    I understand you are 38 yrs old, so once you get closer to your 40s you see things different... My dad used to be into cars until he got into his late 30s, and he told me the same thing wait until you get in to your 30s you will see the worlld from a different view..

    Ronie aka 198plus he is around 50 yrs old and he is one of those that rase the bar to a higher standards... just a thought.

    traveling the world with your wife will definitely give you more satisfaction and enjoyment than any car ever will. that's awesome you have the opportunity to do that, i really look forward to one day being able to do the same with my girlfriend.
