Here's another picture.
Beautiful Grecian Blue @Trexus !

I have a similar story, I purchased my '24 in Feb this year, and its' been sitting since I drove it home. 36 miles on it.

Hope to drive it next week when I'm back from a work trip.

Holy crap! Hopefully youcan go enjoy it soon.

I might end up on the opposite end and have to sell mine. We want to move and I might need to lose a car payment to move sooner than expected Not sure yet. The wife's RX 500 will be our nice car and I'll drive the *gasp* beater 😭

Some amazing pics all around. One of , if not, the most attractive looking sports sedan on the market at this juncture in time.

LOL I would rather have a sweet *** house over any car Plus, with these interest rates, we're going to try to buy the house outright, or just have a small mortgage if the house needs a remodel.

I am probably just being paranoid about money because my wife and I will both take around a $60k per year pay cut each which scares the crap out of me. It's making me freak out and want to get rid of my car payment.

The original plan was to move in 2 years and the car would be paid off before then.... maybe we can survive this place long enough to keep that plan. Who knows!

Anyway, back to pictures lol

Hey geoffrocks98, that must be a IX RS! I used to own a 06' Evo IX GSR bought it brand new back in March of 2007. Those were the days & the 4G63 was so mod friendly! Here is a very old pic from April 2007 next to my buddies 04 EVO VIII. Yes this is a old & crappy pic & used a Motorola Razr lol

Good eye! Yes, it's an RS. Outside of the ohlins coilovers, hks catback, and bride reclining bucket, the car is stock, never been tuned!

Not to derail thread, so just a tiny pic:

^^ Nice & I also owned 2 STI's a 2019 & 2021. But the EVO was much more raw. Maybe one day I will get another one & the EVO X never appealed to me.

That is definitely one impressive garage. Wow. And of course, the car looks fantastic. It's cool that you retained the 350 wheels.
