Do you feel lost driving in any other car?

...i never thought I did, but now i think I do. My Evo went into Mitsu for a syncro job and some other crap and they gave me a 05 Ford F-150 as a rental, so i got in, and headed toward work, and for some odd reason, i felt like i didnt know hwere i was going, i guess its cuz the car is like 10feet in the air, and everything is just way different. I guess im too used to my Evo, i go about places without even thinking about it and end up at my destination, wit the F-150, i had to actually think and remember where streets were. Weird...anyone else share this?

hahahahaha

I'm currently driving a 91 Camry until I get the brakes on my Evo. It feels like a big lumbering ox riding on balloons. The car sways, bounces and basically has a mind of it's own

I find myself going into corners too hot and deep, not braking soon enough, and waking my a$$ up to the fact I'm not in the MR- LOL

I just feel unsafe in any other car, knowing I can't steer as quickly or brake as well.

nope. my other car is a modified VW. but if I had to drive any other car I'd definitely miss it... so I guess yes to any other car as the lack of performance would probably just lull me to sleep

I've almost lost it a couple times doing exactly what you just said while driving the wife's honda accord. It's like "****, I'm not in the evo- slow down!"

I keep looking for a clutch when I drive my GF's Jetta.


Cruise control is soooo nice though.

Yes I agree! being 10 feet in the air in a pick up truck can be much different then being 10 feet in the air in an EVO.

This is what usually bites me. I'm not used to the slow steering so parking lots I'm always cuttin it too close in my g/f's subie which is like 2 turns to lock FROM center
