This is an important decision

Hi guys, I was just wondering what you guys would do in my situation. My evo has been stock for 1 year because im paying off bills. I was wondering if i should sell the evo, get a beater with no payment and get a second job and save more money and get a evo 9 later or should i get a second job keep the evo and pay off my bills with my extra money and mod away what would u guys do?

Just use credit cards to charge your life away, then when you die, who cares how much money you owe?

Exactly what I did... And when the $10,000 bill comes in, just take the Evo for a ride and let the torque ease all of your worries!

I would do whatever it takes to keep your Evo and not get a second job. Work sucks. Driving an Evo doesn't.

Don't be an idiot.

If you can't afford to modify your Evo with your current job, don't break your back with a second one. That is just foolish. Pay off your bills and save aside a little at a time. Debt isn't fun and modifying a car isn't cheap.

+1.

If you get a second job, when will you have time to enjoy the ride? Here's a better idea... get a sugar momma that'll buy you whatever you want.

What I would do is keep the evo stock. The evo stock is better than 95% of the cars out there sooo I wouldnt get to worked up about modding. I would work as much as I needed to be debt free and then If money is available go ahead and throw some mods in. I am 33 yrs old and it took me a long time to become debt free and now I only buy stuff for my evo when I have money in hand (stay away from ccard debt). Good luck bro.

I would keep your Evo. You would take a significant loss from depreciation if you sold it. Leave it stock and pay it off as soon as you can, then save for a IX. Paying interest on a loan is practically money down the drain in my book, so avoid it if you can.
