Every so often, you meet someone who really inspires you and sometimes it can be a complete stranger. While shooting for the Kaizen Tuning Open House, we saw woman driving a yellow Mitsubishi Evolution VIII. People were waving at her and she waved back with a kind smile on her face as she passed by.
Joy owns a shop directly next to Kaizen called Pedal Power, who specialize in bicycle sales and tuning as well as ski sales. We approached her and asked if she would mind taking a picture with the car and her response was, “Sure. That would be fun!” Casual conversation ensued, and we learned that not only does she own the Evo, but she drives it hard! Also a former Subaru STi owner, she loves curvy roads where she can put the car’s handling to the test. We were even more suprised when she said, “I like how the car powers out of corners.” Joy has even brought her Evo to Kaizen for maitenence and servicing! Her current Evo just broke the 100,000 mile mark and she is considering trading up to the newer EvoX. It’s fair to say, it’s in her blood.
