Every now and then, i give it to her but i do so with love and care as to not rip or ruin anything. But most of the time I treat her with love and care. If you beat on yours all day and night, either shes gonna die, kill you, or leave. LOL. But seriously drive right.
yeah...i treat her like gold I launched once in awhile...

Yes, but you list your location as "somewhere" instead of actually listing your location (gay), plus your name is frenchy, and your English is very poor.

LOL, yes i know. You bought your car primarily to race or so it seems. Mine is just a joy vehicle to cruise around in. I'm very ethusiastic when driving but have no need or desire to race or launch my car at tracks or on the street.

Pure joy is never realized until pushing the Evo to its utter limits, which can only be done on a track, be it a drag strip or road course. I didn't even really understand what the Evo was capable of until I did an autocross...and then I put it on a road course and learned how I didn't have half the skill needed to even get the full potential out of the Evo. It is sorta fun to drive around in a spirited fashion occasionally, I suppose...

Yes you are correct. But some men also get pure joy throwing their women around the room and physically emphisizing who the boss is. So I am the driver in your last sentence.

I had my syncros as well as my transfer case replaced but my engine is still putting down 340whp even at 112,000 miles on the OD! Just do your homework and build up your EVO to handle the level performance you want!

You so bought the wrong car for your lifestyle! Sounds like you should have bought a VW bug with the flower in the Cup holder! It comes in turbo trim too.

Thanks! I can't launch as well as warrtalon but I can handle myself pretty good on a road course. I just take care of it! My issues were all warn out bearings! I changed all the oils on time or early so there's nothing I could have done to prevent it.

Actually, i have a VW jetta beater for winter. Great car and stable as hell in the snow and for my speed erge, I aslo pimp an 05 ZX-6r. Lets go to Lime Rock raceway or the drag strip of your choice and I'll show you how much i rip that green machine around like a VW bug with a flower in the cup holder. This is the internet, dont assume anything about anyone you dont know. And VW's are nice cars even with the electrical woes so leave em alone.
