feeling kinda disgusted about evos =(

so i just took a trip to chicago and to my disgust i saw more evos than i did civics. now i started to think, what makes an evo special. in terms of comapring it with another evo. i mean we all know the upgrade path, but i mean, when you pull up next to an evo that is just as modded as yours, what makes you go WOW. this is in regards to evo 8 & 9's. let me know what you guys think?

I rarely ever see modded evo's here in SoCal, let alone modded ones unless i go to the track or a tuner shop. I've been looking a lot since i bought my car two weeks ago... and oddly i have yet to even see another evo since then. lol. (900 miles later)

Why would the sight of so many Evos disgust you? That just goes to show their pride in ownership. I also suppose it would all depend on locale. As you know here in SoCal, I see more BMW M3s than I do Evos.

That's impossible no matter where you live. Oh, wait. Maybe if you lived next door to the Mizushima plant in Japan.

Yeah, we do have a lot of Evos roaming around here. But I think the biggest way to stand out aside from a retina burning paint job are just some decent wheels.

If you want a limited car build one, then you dont have to worry about another person having one.

i have seen a fair amount of evo's around my town and i love it.

it's always nice to see someone who loves your car as much as you do.

Don't feel too bad. Theyre more common than Accords in my area (NY). I have no problem with a large owner base its just unfortunate that many of them are immature/disintrested/uninformed/non car enthusiasts looking to "enhance" themselves with the car...

I see a lot of evo's around here too, as well as wrx's. It's disproportionate to be certain. I feel my 1g gsx is much more of a 'special' car than my evo up here.
