My daily driver - still under 20k, and stock clutch. Have a baby due in April, so perf mods are on hold 'till afterwards. Ride is a bit harsh on pregnant significant other, but an Evo is the greatest thing for when she has a craving - and wants it NOW!

I have my 1997 Civic EX as my daily driver. But that car is soooo bad(as in not good)!!! Everytime I drive it in the rain, my front tires start hopping violently as soon as I try to be a little bit aggressive and it's killing my tranny. Also my alignments off on it too. It's a big change to drive an Evo on the weekends and then transition back to the Civic for work and the weekdays. Steering seems like it takes a life time to go from lock to lock and the body roll on it is terrible(my neuspeed sway bar is broken). A couple good things is that I can repeatedly red line the Civic and it still gets good gas mileage and it's incredibly smooth. Oh Ya... And my Civic has a radio w/ a CD Player.

Oh ya, actually come to think of it, the Civic isn't that bad considering that I practice e-brake drifting in it whenever it rains. heh heh.

Was driving a Mustang Cobra as a daily driver, but I am selling that - the handling is way too loose. So I am very happy to drive my Evo everyday.

I've got an MR and a 35 mile daily commute. Makes flying through free for all Chicago freeway traffic easy and very entertaining.

was my daily for about 3 months and i ended up with 6k miles so i decided it was time for another car for daily driving so i bought a 93 eclipse......its so nice to not be racking up the evo's miles really quick.....and just using it as a toy for the nights and weekends
