the same thing happened to me earlier this year. they wanted me to commit to buying the evo x before test driving it. they ran the credit check and were talking about monthly payments already. they didn't let me drive it until i got up and walked out the door. then i only got to drive it up the street and back. i had no intention to buy it, heehee. i win.

i had a bad experience on the mainland a few years back. i had my wrx and i was seriously thinking about upgrading to sti or evo. the mitsubishi dealership in seattle wouldn't let me test drive the evo. they told me that people buy these cars without test driving them. when i walked away, the salesman said he would start the ignition for me and that's all he can do. whoopty doo.

i love evo's but i'm used to hatchbacks and wagons.

i did think about the evo x for several days after i test drove it and i was only in the car for a few minutes.

you'd get the break in done so we could pound it as soon as it got here!

yep- i like servco and their business practices...

Hells yeah they'd be nice and broken in by the time I dropped them off at the dock. I'll even run them up to AMS for you to get huge turbo's and such.

I can't believe you pulled up in a frickin' Z06 and they gave you that kind of service.

How many X.XRS's do you have at this point?! I think I saw a picture where you had like 5-6 cars at your house.

it's not cheating if fran knew...he didnt wanna join the mantrain, so we left him out of it...how could you possibly be under the bed- that's where i keep the multiple cases of astroglide...
