How many of you will be keeping your Evo?

Just curious to see how many of you will keep the Evo since its stopped production and we all have pretty much the last 4g63!! Im undecided what i wana do yet. If i do keep it, i will have the front bumper repainted and a couple of toys done to it

I plan on keeping mine until at least the time when it is worth what I owe on it which, according to my calculations, should occur sometime in the year 2029.

Actually, even if I could sell it without taking a loss I still would want to keep it. I'm more attached to this car than I have been to any that I've ever owned. What I really need now is for gas to come down to $0.99/gallon

Mine is a keeper for life. I made the mistake of selling my other cars and I will never make that mistake again. I will sleep in it b4 I sell it.

I have 2k left on payoff, I'll never get back enough to make the loss worthwhile if I sell, and there's nothing under 70k that catches my eye (C6 Z06).

Since I won't be able to afford a 70k car for quite some time, I'm pretty sure the Evo is here to stay barring unforseen circumstances.

I don't think just because they stopped production, people would want it less. If anything I want to keep it more now since it will be less of them.

It took me ten years to buy an evo. So I'll S.D.G. before I give this thing up.


S.D.G. = ____ ____ for Gas

I've wanted a car like the Evo ever since I first read about the Audi S1 Quattro back in '84. Now that I have one, it's not going anywhere.

Until another car can offer the unique driving experience the Evo has given me as a daily driver, I intend to keep it, through thick and thin.

haha, i'm the only person who said "no" so far. I plan to keep it another year, then it's time to either go for the GT-R, or a luxery car. I would sell it now for a luxery car if i would break even, which i wouldn't.

I just wanted a fast car that i could modify and personalise, and i always loved Evo's. But now that i have had this harsh, rough car for about a year, i realized i'm not in a place in my life right now where i can handle a car like this without going crazy. I need something quiet, automatic, clean, sharp, calm, and SMOOTH. The #1 thing that bothers me about my Evo is bouncing out of my seat every time there is a bump in the road.

Also, i can't really handle any car for to long, i always want something else.
