Mine is a daily driver. I drive around 80-100 miles a day, hence why I am selling my evo for something more comfy.

I voted yes, but only for personal use. I use my girl's ride to go to work and back and for longer across town drives.

Evo is my daily driver, but I keep a backup for when mods take multiple days to install, or when something like the clutch or strut goes out and I need to wait for a friend to help me with it...

[QUOTE=yf19ex] But the gas prices is 1.95 for high octaine so it is getting lower for now. QUOTE]


$1.95 DAMN I'd pay that in heartbeat!

87 octane is $2.15 here and that's what my daily driver pimpmobile van uses.

Everyday. It is either the Evo or a 1985 GMC delivery van with a lift gate on the back. It makes it real easy to make a choice.

Some people commute from the burbs to the city everyday. And would rather not wreck thier car.

You said it best Agree 200% percent with every word including Elise

I also totally agree with you, even tho I don't have an Evo yet. But when I do get one its gonna be a daily driver. Especially with the Michigan weather we deal with. It will be fun in the Spring/Fall/Summer months, but then it will also be fun in the winter. No more spinning just the front wheels in the snow, but instead ill be tearin through the stuff

Have you seen what the Evo does on the track? The way is comes from the dealership it is better suited for track racing than rally racing. The only thing the car has in common with its rally brother is the all wheel drive. The Evo in stock form is a monstor on the track and often sets the pace for times in its class.
