If i was worried, i would have simply traded my car in for a honda, maybe even a rsx, hey wait! You had one? hahaha, nice, x honda people~ It was simply a question, I was curious, but maybe i should buy a rsx as my beater so i won't be worried as you put it.

250 isn't bad. Where do you get gas at?

2.5K shifts in an Evo?! I hope that's before the car is warmed-up, otherwise what's the point in having it?
