I'm almost 36 so I'm probably 'old' to some of you. I have to admit I get some weird looks sometimes. Had some 18 year old or so kid roll down his window one time and shout 'aren't you a little too old to be driving that?' at me.

If Mitsu keeps on building the same high performance car 10-20 years from now, I wouldn't mind dropping off my grandchild - to be at school on my full race Evolution XXX.

You shoulda replied, "did your job at McDonalds pay for that used Civic....or did daddy?"

I'm 35 and lovin my EVO. Don't matter how old is old.......as long as you like the EVO, that's good enough for me.

44, gettin' thumbs-up and "that's a hot car" left and right. My 16 year-old son's friends all love it and want to race. Started autocrossing in '87 and now I'm in SM with the Evo - my first road courses coming this year.

Couldn't afford something like this - let alone all the mods (just <400hp now) until now!

I'm an old (45) guy who drives a evo. I got asked this week if it was my car or my son's. So I was insulted twice-its my car and I don't have children-the evo's my baby!

I perosnally dont mind sein older guys drivin evos. During the winter whenever it snowed my dad always drove my car to work. But they never want to touch the engine. They always say its great how it is. But i still think it's pretty cool to see the older guys drivin evos.
