Daily driver

I just traded in my 03 Evo 8 - I used that as a daily driver for 41K miles, then I got tired of the rough ride, so I got an 05 Subaru Legacy GT Ltd, now that's my daily driver while the 06 Evo 9 MR I just got is my joyride

I've got an "adult" STI (terrific car with great power) with a 9 MR in my back pocket =)

My MR is my daily driver. It rides better than my old VW GTI VR6 with the H&R Cup Kit. 18,000 miles since I bought it in Oct. '04. It's a blast to drive in the snow, too!

I drive my evo every day since i sold my other 2 cars to pay for it. Ive had the car for 4 months and have already put almost 6k on the car. I dont think i could stand driving any other car after owning my evo. Everything else just handles horribly!

ok hows this one, i have an 04 EVO w/ SSL. i drive it everyday around town, but not to work and back which is about 25 miles on way. for the work car i had a 93 Geo Metro 5-speed, try driving the EVO then going to a geo metro yeah yeah lets hear the bashing start check out this vid of the power of the metro:

http://videos.streetfire.net/player....E-808D0B0DAFFF


Anyways the Metro broke down while i was driving it behind the mall in my town and the wheel just made a popping sound and this happened( look at pics) well i junked it, and then found a 94 ford tempo for 200. i can't complain, i have storage insurance on the EVO and is parked in the garage which is really nice and cheap, and liability in the tempo, for 6 months it cost me 300 bucks total. thats what i like about storing the EVO in the winter. Plus i have a car i can really beat the crap out of. like rear ending my buddies at stop lights in their winter beater (not full speed, just a nice little tap) and a lot of e-brake pulling when the roads are covered with sno. it does suck to have to store the EVO but i am loving the extra spending cash i get from the cheap insurane i am hoping to have the EVO paid of in 2 years instead of 5

I drive mine everyday a year and a few months about to hit 44k the only parts ive had to change clutch at 40k, and my trasfercase went out at the same time so i got one from TRE with the ralliart LSD. Besides that just change your oil and spark plugs every 2 oil changes and your good to go. I beat on mine everyday cars ment to be driven not sit in a lot. Thats why i love my evo get in and drive everyday and dont have to worry about nothing.

04 GSR w/SS&L, owned the car for 13 months so far and I drive it everyday. I have 52,5xx on the clock as of this morning, it had 4 miles on it when it was purchased new.

I couldn't imagin driving another vehicle for that many miles, let alone paying 30k for a car and only driving it on weekends, lol.
