I am a car fanatic obsessed with all types of performance cars and auto racing. This is my *evolution* from a driving enthusiast to race car driver of a Mitsubishi Evolution IX.
The Car
My car is a Tarmac Black 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution MR. I bought this car when it was about a year old with 13,000 miles on it. The previous owner had maintained the car and taken really good care of it. I have been a fan of the Evolution since I first saw the Top Gear episode where Jeremy Clarkson squared off the evo, sti and the A4. You could really see the potential of the car when Clarkson took it on their test track.

The MW3 Evo has been tested and tuned for A class in the NASA Rocky Mountain regions Time Trials. After a lot of time and math, the power-to-weight ratio and modification points put us at the top of the class with a few points to spare.
