well I'm thinking of getting rid of my evo. This past few months I've been thinking quite alot about going to college. I got the Evo when I was 17(I payed for everything not daddy) and I loved every minute of it, now my Evo 8 has 90k and I'm thiking if I sell it to a dealer I'll probably get around 13k for it. So I would pay up whatever I owe on the car(yeah I bought it used) and get out of that debt. I'm now 20yrs old want to go to school to get a 4yrs degree in forensic science. I would be bumed out getting rid of the Evo ,but I came to this, later on I can always get another Evo probably a better one. And if I become a forensic doctor I think I'll be even better economically, not I couldn't pay for the car before, but I dont want to wait untill I'm in my 30s to realise that I should have gone to school. So I would aprecciate your input.

Oh and probably get rid of the girlfriend too, she's another debt by itself.

 

go to school man, you seem to have it figured out. set yourself up for success not failure. your doing the right thing

 

if your deciding between school or the evo, go with school for sure!! i just wish i had waited to get mine till after school

 

if you really want to go to school then i say go for it man Besides you can always get into another evo but you'll never be 20 again.

 

thanks guys, yeah I just don't want to be stock doing something that I don't like for the rest of my life. And I think it would be easier to sacrifise some now then sacrifise a lot in the future.

 

just know that im was in the same boat as you and now im in school, but its VERY hard to keep the evo at the same time and i would have sold it if i could get enough. and you wont always be twenty but you dont wanna be 30 flippin pattys

 

<- going to school for Mechanical Engineering and working full time.

 

Thats the thing I will be working full time or pretty close to. but in order to work a normal shift I have to get a 8hr job. Being that I my "specialty" is construction,whoever works construction knows that 8hr day are very rare and sometimes hours of comute. If I get a "crappy job" something thats enough to pay for gas and books. It would be easier if I get rid of the evo.

 

At least your giving up the evo for a good reason. Going to school and work is hard and its even harder when you have an expensive hobby like modding cars.

 

I'm 21, and in school for pharmacy (6 year program - 2 more years to go!) and driving a 5-Speed '03 OZ rally. Not close to an EVO by far, but it's not a beater neither. Its practical for a student and looks enough like an EVO so most girls cant tell the difference. Just get what you can for you EVO now, and like me, get a new one after graduation. I hoping for a 6-Speed MR Evo X if/when it comes out.

 

...... Let's see: I have 2 kids...... I'm married...... I love my Evo...... It makes me happy........ I have a decent job, and I just don't have 1/2 the money- to do or get the stuff I want...... I wish I had gone to school, so my suggestion......." GO TO SCHOOL!!!!"

 

I vote go to school or find a good job!

 

sending the application tomorrow, wish me luck and I just got a call not to long ago and got a new job in a college as a carpenter, nice easy carpentry, so if everything works I'll be working 10min from the school I want to attend.

Thank guy always supportive.

 

I currently am getting a 4yr degree, and i also had the chance to get the evo before i started. But i waited, and now in my second year, and have a part time job so i can afford it now. But i would deff say go to school, and if some how you can keep the evo, that would be good to =] goodluck mate
