You have a lot of self control...like everyone is saying, why buy a sports car if you going to drive it like a grandma? Go flog it

I take to to 6500-7000rpms a couple of times a week. My car is practically stock, so there is isn't much power up there anyway after 5k it seems to fall flat on it's face.

My goal for Jan. is to get all these parts installed Buschur stage IV in waiting just sitting in my garage twiddling their thumbs:>(

I absolutely beat the living pi$$, snot, $hit or whatever you want to call it out of her every time I get in her. Sometimes when I start to feel kinda sorry for her for it, she reminds me how much she likes it like that. That's what this car is built for and if you don't want to drive it like that then you deserved to get b!tch slapped.

LOL, it's not really that I didnt want to drive the car like its suppose to be driven, it's just that at that time I was going thru with a lot of personal CRAP so I lost my enthusiasm about driving it like a racecar u know. I was just happy that I owned an evo and just sitting inside it makes me happy already hahahhaha. But you guys are right though..... why get an EVO if your not going to drive it like one. Well anyway thanks for all the response guys

The EVO is the kind of car that just plain gets you going. You can't help but drive it fast.
