So, here's the news....

I figured in the next few days people would be asking what it is that I purchased. So, I decided to make this thread and tell all. I've already took notice that several of you are already interested, so I'll spill the beans. Read on...

Last weekend I took a flight to Illinois to purchase my car. Last time I stopped through, I met up with a buddy of mine. Had some fun, and I got to ride in his car. Several months later, he and I talked and he mentioned that he would be selling his car. My interest was peaked when I heard this. So, without hesitation I jumped on the offer to purchase his car.

Although, purchasing the car would be my greatest challenge as of yet. I had the money. But getting down there was the hardest part. Although, my friend was very patient. I couldn't imagine how much stress he was going through, but I thank him greatly for being so patient. To me, it was a well deserved wait, but it was worth the trip and I had a blast.

You all know our Moderator Josh of course. Being in Illinois with him was the funnest time I've had in a long time. Showed me the campus life, the hot girls all around, and we drank ourselves shitless on few occassions. All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase of Joshy's old Eclipse. It's here with me on the res now, and it's getting plenty of attention as it stand.

So that's it. My car; a 1996 Mitsu Eclipse Spyder (GST). The plans for the future? Well, that shouldn't be any question at all as to what I plan on doing. 16G and supporting mods, front end conversion, Halo projector headlights (black), new wheels and tires, some front suspension work, and some interior design. All in all, I will keep you guys posted on the updates and how things are coming along. Thank you again Josh, and enjoy your present that I bought for you as well!!

I'm glad you're enjoying and i'm glad to see the car go to a good owner, it was a good time while you were down here to, and scary at one point..but hey when you drink that kinda stuff happens sometimes..haha

Anyway i've already had one of my presents and i gotta say it was an hour of ecstacy, Ashton cigars rock!

Good luck with the car and everything should be there for it shortly.

Congrats on the car, should be a decent project.

Was this the black one Josh had in his sig for awhile? What are you driving now Josh, I didn't even know you were contemplating selling it.

Yeah it was the same one, i'm driving my old buick now.

Disclaimer: Im not yelling nor am I angry.

ya, i meant his 3kgt to the gto, from import to domestic, sorry for any confusion

I haven't decided yet, i may end up getting the Grand National i've always wanted or i might go with something AWD like an EVO, STi, VR4 or back to DSM with a GSX. I'm excited for the old eclipse though because i know Chris has a lot plans for it. Right now though i'm just driving a beater until i make my move out west.

by far the opposite! i perfer a good cat street race.. why make the dogs work so hard? dogs eat the loser.. and the winner.. everyone wins

Somebody's addicted to boost. :evillol: Can't say I blame you though. All of those are nice choices.

So...sorry for the hijack, good purchase on the car, but in IL...U Chitown, or what? Sorry, I'm slowly (unfortunately) becoming intigrated into teh midwest...ugh.

Champaign/Urbana, the UofI campus.

And yes i am addicted to boost.... :evillol:

There she is^. Sorry I haven't been on to answer any questions or get back to you guys yet. I thank everyone for their congrats and all. Thank you. So yes, Joshy was very patient. And the trip was very worth it. I love this car and I can't wait to get started. As of now I already have everything ordered. I'll be sure to post parts/upgrades/how the car is coming along. I love boost!!Neutrino: I will be coming back to Utah in the Summer at some point. When? I haven't made the choice on when I actually plan to. I may even make several trips there. And you can bet the Clipse is coming with me. As of right now, I'm in New York. I'll be sure to call you and Poly when I come back around. Plan on it.Jayson, just shaddup and get a Honda. You know you want to. :biggrin:Thanks again, and be sure to hear more from me in the future.

I'll be sure to call you and Poly when I come back around.

All I can say is "kick ass!"

Hopefully when you get back down here I'll have all the stuff I bought for the GTC on and we'll have to race, I should get that Profec B just for some insurance. :grinyes:
