I would love to drive mine everyday, but I am afraid that I would lose my drivers license from all the speeding tickets.....

That's a no-brainer. There is no more fun in the snow than driving an Evo. I saw a guy pushing another guy's M3 because it couldn't get any traction.

I drove my 03 every day for over a year, it was fine but I just didn't like putting so many miles on it. I finally got my LRV running so now I can keep a few miles off of my new 05.

I own a daily driver but the evo is too much fun. My drive to work is about 45mins each way and I carpool. When it's my day to drive, it's so hard not to take the evo. It makes the commute fun.

Bought an 05 in september it is my only car I had to sell two cars to buy it (2002 s10 zr2, and 2000 vw gti drag car). I've got about 6700 miles on it front advans are bald already. Thinking of keeping the Evo stock and building up an older car to beat the hell out of maybe a sr20 powered 240 or ma70 supra turbo, both can be had for $2000 and are capable of 350 to 400hp cheap and I would not feel bad if I crashed either cause well there is still an 8 in the driveway.

Traded in my 03' that had 8200 miles last month. I purchased it new in June of 03. I didn't drive it much, but when I did drive it, it wasn't a "Sunday drive".

I plan on driving my IX more than I did the 03', but so far that hasn't taken place.

Couldn't agree more. I drive it everyday, half the reason I bought it was so I'd have something safe and realible for the occasional Ohio snowfalls. With the RS, I put in a nice stereo and its great even in traffic.

Cars weren't made to sit in garages, get out and drive them! You think Dr. EVO, Carroll Shelby, Enzo Ferrari, ect would appreciate how well you have maintained and waxed the car sitting in the dark for months/years while driving a beater?

That's just my $0.02

I have 19,600 miles on my Evo MR. Got it in May. Still on my 1st set of Advans. Just rotated them. Should last another 8,000 miles or so. Mostly highway miles on my Evo.
