It looks like the front of my car was peppered by a shotgun! One door ding on the drivers side front door.

Evo's are like dating supermodels. Always needs tending to. Everything you have to buy for it is expensive. Everyone stares at it. You stand out like a sore thumb everywhere you go with it.



What's wrong with my car you ask....I bought a 2003 VIII new on 3/30/2004....I'm always tending to it. So other than it being a rattle box....it's all good

Hondas won't leave me alone when I want to drive to the store and I have to be conscience of where I am parking my car and for what length of time. I don't think there isn't a day that goes by at work that I don't look out the window to make sure it's safe and sound haha.

Rattles, but they're certainly livable. May have a minor boost leak but it's tiny if anything. Very small crack in the windshield - I'll be getting a new one soon. Some rock chips on the front end.

Only 8,000 miles too

I have a hard time keeping the miles off of mine. Rock chips, light scratches, and a little rust on the core support drive me crazy. The wheels have a few rock chips on them along with the local tire guy chipping the paint off when he removed the centercap to balance the tires.

I have the *worst* luck.

My TB VIII is in absolutely perfect condition, no thanks to the shopping cart that rammed it just over a year ago, or the jerk at work who dragged a large box by my car and put a scratch down the full length of it. Both of these were repaired flawlessly, at great cost.

Last week I was going north on I-25 when a pickup about 300 yards ahead had a rear tyre explode. It was a retread. A piece of the tyre flew up into the air, and it must have been 10 seconds before it came down at the speed of light by the side of my car. I thought it missed. When I got home, it had scratched the side of my car down to the metal.

Rock chips, 1 scratch under the rear bumper, and it needs another 300whp.
+1. WTF is wrong with Mitsu's paint?? Did they get it from Sherwin Williams or something? But yeah, I have several rock chips on the front bumper, a 6" ding on my front passenger door, knew who did it but the guy didn't want to admit, a rattle from underneath, and some weird noise coming from what I think is the throw out bearing. Other than that, I love my car, and hopefully after winter, I'll be able to bring it to the shop to get painted and maybe a front end conversion.
