William Watlington: 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

William Watlington started off his involvement in the car scene when he was back in high school, with a 2002 Lancer he says was "riced out," which is where many of us started. In 2017, he decided to join the big leagues and picked up a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, which he has since modified extensively with performance and driving fun in mind.
