Now you spent $40,000 on your EVO, IS it worth it?

sadly, I bought this car telling myself the following:
It'll be 10 years or 100,000 miles before I mod this car, otherwise I'm just throwing my money out the door (because warranty is definitely included in car price).
I've got the TBE, but honestly wont go further than MBC / Flash if I'm confident at some point I can reflash to stock. I'm not confident that I know how to do this nor do I want to tamper with my ECU.
Oh well

Edit: If you're young and selling a modded car, your screwed no matter what the car.

I love my Evo, don't get me wrong; BUT i want so many other cars out there, and i have to slap myself daily because i have 0% financing, 10 yr 100k warrenty, and lots more goals to attain with this car; but I always think about selling it for something else. I want an S15 Silvia, and an S60R SO bad; but i know even when i get those i will want something else; it's a vicious cycle.

I personally have spent a pretty good amount on my car in the two years that i've had it. I have friends with Supra's and many other cool cars. I work with Supercharged BMW's all day and have been blessed to drive and experience Bentley's and so many other 100k cars.
I do not regret spending on cent and dont see myself selling it even at a very atractive price.

After spending as much money on my cars as I have it makes me think ''You could have put that money into your house'' But I dont regret it at all! I love cars and I especially love high performance cars! I am extremely happy with my life right now and I wouldn't change a thing!




evo had one of the HIGHEST RSV amoung consumer cars....and who knows what the 2006 evo IX will be...
