Spotted A 2002 Spirit R!!!!

I was at the track here in orlando FL. Im in line waiting and an FD pulls up behind me. I was like cool a FD, I notice its right hand drive so I get out to talk to the guy, I thought he converted in. NOPE I WAS WAY WRONG hes like nope its a real SPIRIT R, 2002!!!!
It was the owner of Evolution Imports, The car was AMAZING I wish I had a camera to take pics but I didnt. I think he said that he is shipping it to Chicago so to the guy who bought It if your on here I saw it and it looks GREAT congrats!!!!

Someone posted pics of a stupidly-low-mileage Spirit R that was supposedly imported here.

If so, it's the first one that I know of.

well, now i know NEVER to get anything from EVOLUTION IMPORTS... if they haul your car like that before shipping it to you... I believe it had 33 miles? wasn't even 200. I would be PISSED if I was the original owner of that Spirit-R, having someone take MY car to the track without telling me and treating it as a rental.
