damn I wish I got an EVO when I was 17... yea people are sometimes surprised.. first thing they ask is "How much you pay for it monthly?" and "Where do you work?"

All this talk about what some people think. The real answer is no one cares. You die tomorrow the world is not going to end, much less the fact of what car you drive has zero impact on anything. You guys sound like a bunch of girls with an over inflated sense of your own importance. Let me reiterate no one cares you die no one cares you are nothing.
Bill gates 12 year old son drives an Enzo no one cares. Some arabs in the desert have a gold plated audi and white sex slaves no once cares. Not directed at anyone in particular.

Umm who cares. We already know there is alot of bad in the world going on. So what? Are you going to whine about it and complain or are you going to do something about it?

You are the classic example of many people I run into all day. Especially the liberals. Their whole ideology is predicated on negative excuses.

"All evil has to do to prevail is for good men to do nothing." I forget who actually quoted that.

I would suggest you start doing somehting about it instead of sitting on your soap box.

I don't serve this country for a man or a government or a particular party. I serve it because I want to preserve liberty, freedom, and other great ideologies of this awesome country and spread this goodness all over the world and be a light to others in peril.

Now I never said we are perfect because we are far from it but the effort is all that counts.

People at work are use to me having the Evo now after over 3 years and 51k miles.

Wife still says I have the Evo as part of a mid-life crisis, i'm 42.

I would have owned an evo since i work 30 hours a week at Stop & Shop during high school...but insurance prices in NJ are among the highest than any other state. ...hell..my insurance with a DSM is 3k a year alone (clean record). Anyways, my props to all you guys who have worked hard to own your evos, and my prayers to all those who received the evo as some sort of gift and can careless about the value of an evo. An evo is a dream for me. I still go into that state of shock when I see one on the road.

vesendak, you are right. No one cares. You should go ahead and just kill yourself now. Life is pointless.

I cant believed I read all every single post. Man I need a hobby. Ah yes it is my evo. I still cant believe I own one. I get a warm fuzzy every morning when I am off to work. My dad loves the car more than I do. He has offered to give my the camry or his mercedes as a swap. I just laugh and tell him he knows where I keep the key. I get every type of comments from nice rice rocket to "Can it take my lancer ralliart....It's dynoed at 215 whp." That last comment was outside a local hangout. The guy and his girl didnt know what an EVO was. He honestly thought it was a lancer with a body kit. The sad part was he owned a lancer as well. Oh well. People used to pick races with me, but lately it has gotten dry. I pull up next to a modded car and either they pull off slowly or let me go first. I dont race unless provoked but I guess the EVO rep is starting to hit East Tenn.

I too am shocked everytime I open my garage door and see the EVO parked there. I then remember all the long hard struggles I had to go thru in order to own one. I never thought it would happen, but proper budgeting and getting a job that pays well helped a whole lot..

Now that I look back I realize that there is a time and a place for everything, and I appreciate having the car even more...

I can't help it but I have to post a pic of my beloved toys:
