However, once I couldnt get out of it, and that seat held a 400+ lb guy and did just fine. So they are pretty durable. I made sure to drive EXTRA easy and prayed the whole trip.
The one thing I always hated about owning a 4 door car, carting other people around.....****ing hate it.

Love the teg, nobody wants to ride in the back. Even though I don't DD it.

Pfft...who needs friends? Less friends = less playing taxi driver. That's my philosophy.

Anyway...

Got Evo 4 weeks ago and it's my DD. I had one guy comment on how he liked my Evo. (he knew what they were)... everyone else is sort of toss up. One guy commented saying it looks like my car is going to take off with the wing . Oh well. I love the car.

My Evo is my DD so I drive it to work every day. My boss' BMW and the CEO's Mercedes get the attention so my car mostly goes unnoticed out there.

All my co-workers underestimated the speed of the Evo but now they know it's the fastest (and best handling) car in the lot. I proved that to them

Great thread... I've had someone make fun of me almost at every job- some sort of ricer comment of some sort- but not my current job. It's nice.

My evo was my DD (deployed now so i'm not driving it) My co-workers love my car and i'm pretty popular in my unit now.

Also use it for Airmen Against Drunk Driving sometimes. I give drunk people rides back to the base so they don't get a DUI. The love my car and they are like "oh man your car rocks"..... "dude, your car is awesome"......"dude, i want your car so bad" it's pretty cool.

I had two jobs, so after work at nights i sometimes stop by the local Sonic and i can see all the guys and girls in the kitchen drooling over my car.

I found out years later that one of my bosses (the ceo of the company) didn't give me a big Christmas bonus (I had a lower bonus after working there for 4 years then a guy did that started the week before) - because he thought I'd just "blow" my money on the car.

I drive mine to work mainly because its only a mile away. Other than that it rarely leaves my driveway. I probably wont drive it at all once some snow starts falling.

Mine is a DD. In school the girls love it and at work my boss thinks his son's 3.5lt V6 altima is faster than my crappy 4cylinder car if only he knew.
