Street Racing with the Chuckster

Hi Kids,  Holy Cow, can it be true?  Old Man Chuckster going street racing?  Don't believe it 'til you see it.  All my friends say I drive like a little old man.  Anyway, if I were to go streetracing this is the machine I'd be doing it in.  It's a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, named Evy of course.  Named after the character Natalie Portman played in the awesome movie "V."  No, not the TV show.  Everyone knows V is the second best movie ever made, second only to "Jaws."  You might not agree, but then you'd just be wrong.  So why am I posting about my car?  Because it's paid off baby!  Oh yeah, after 5 years of writing checks Evy is 100% mine!!!   It only took 28,000 miles.
 Wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the kids nowadays are always changing stuff on their cars, the only thing I swapped out on Evy was her exhaust system.  The originals sounded like a 10 year old boy farting through a straw, so I installed Magnaflow cat-back pipes.  She's got a pretty good sound now, but nothing outrageous.  I've been up to the "Tail of the Dragon" http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ US 129 (320 curves in 19 miles or something crazy like that) a couple times and plan to go back soon.  Can I get a "Hell Yeah?"

The day you stop paying the note on a car is the day the tranny falls out. My wife has been making noise about a new car so I might get to upgrade my 15 year old escort to her 9 year old malibu.
