Besides learning and sharing what I have over the years..

The biggest thing I learned was to NOT MODIFY MY EVO.. I love speed and performance, but I just want a simple reliable daily driver..

This car is enjoyable stock.. and I should have left it that way.

I can't believe you just said that! LOL I was thinking of buying another one and leaving it stock just so I can have a driver when the "Evil One" is down!

I learned the evo is more car than I am a driver! I don't think I'll ever push its limits.

I'm still in the process of learning a lot of stuff from members around here, and the best thing that I learned is that "THERE ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE AROUND THIS FXCKED UP WORLD TO HELP OTHERS OUT WITHOUT SEEKING SOMETHING FOR RETURN"

I learned that after replacing my own clutch, nothing in life is impossible.

I also learn about traffic lawyers , laws related to cars in general, insurance, how to behave and what to do when you are pull over, etc etc.

So what have you learn since you bought your EVO, that is the question .

FU GRAMMAR

never take it to the dealer unless you got a hook up

people at the dealer CLAIM to know about the evo but know squat

I learned that a $28,000 car with a few thousand dollars in suspension and brake upgrades is as good, if not better, than cars four times the cost on a road course...simply amazing.

Greenville SC FTW!!! Its a beautiful city you lucky bastard.

What did I learn from being an EVO owner???

My EVO goes whoosh every time i shift gears. The faster I get going on the highway the more the turbo sounds like an airplane about to lift off, maybe thats the reason they put big wings on our EVO.

EVO ready for take off.

I have learned a few things and this is it in all its wonder....

Those in Hondas,SRT4,S2000 wanna mess with us just like we do with vettes,lambos whatever... Its the horsepower chain

Dont deal with the stupid *** ricers cause they are all around...

Mod your car with an end goal in mind... dont do fads or just spend all that balla money on a ferrari.

Dont let ANYONE drive your car or end up with curb rash or anything else you need to pay for cause no one loves your car like you will...
