Call me traitor...
On the 28th I'll will be picking up the keys and title to a 250 mile 2006 Evo IX MR. I couldn't turn it down for the price (steal) of $3,000.00. There is nothing wrong with this car at all (the owner, a girl with way too much money, is terrified of it and wants it gone). It will become my daily driver so my '89 can finally go to the shop and get a new coat of paint and some rims.

She's selling you a $35,000 car for $3000?
I don't think I would have hesitated to buy it either.
And since you aren't giving up the 89, being a 'traitor' doesn't fit.
I won't drive my 84 (once it's restored) in the winter either.
Nice 'steal'.

I bet you meant 30K and it is still a good deal.
One seriously fast DD! I assume you did not buy it from the girl in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMaWAtNcaoI
Many of us would probably opt for a C5 Z06 in the same price range but now you have 2 totally different experiences

No, I meant $3,000.00. Seriously... I can't believe it either. And it's loaded, $42,000.00 loaded... But I pick up the keys and title on the 28th. It will be an awesome DD...
