House now.

Many more toys later. Girls like houses more than cars.

This is a pretty smart man... but ya know, it's easier to pick up chicks in a hot car.

So basically would you guys move into an apt for freedom(although I pretty much live with my gf anyways) but basically throwing money away or put that spare money into a new evo9 and keep saving as much as possible for a house in a few years?

If you have to ask, you aren't ready. Nevermind the Evolution w/ the SSL package. If it's sun, sound, and leather you want, buy a convertible. You obviously haven't done enough research. That little voice in the back of your head is telling you to play it smartly. At least be an informed, educated buyer and have your priorities straight.

I can't stand threads like these. Why can't people simply decide for themselves?

Why do you want the EVO? Is it for racing or for posing?

If all you want is attention don't get the EVO. Nothing pissed me of more than people that dont race a race car.

If you just want a nice car get a honda and put wheels on it.

FYI - The EVO9 will more than likely be replaced by the EVO10 next year. I would hate to drop 32k on a car that will be considered the "old" model in less than 12 months.

Dang some of you guys make me feel like an idiot.

Well im in a serious relationship so its not like I need a house to get laid. Its not even about that. In 2 yrs I could pay for both im just stuck on whether to go with my gut and get the evo so I can finally have the car I have wanted for some years now.

I want the evo for some local autox's and just some spirited driving. Like everyone else i like to cruise but I have the most fun tearing through the hills around my area..

Anyways im leaning towards the IX because I want MIVEC and the interior is just so much better looking imo compared to the 8.

Anyways I hope to become part of the community instead of just a troll
