Co-workers + Evo

How many of you take your EVO to work? I've taken it 1 time but it was actually my day off... most of them bash me because I dont take it to work. But then again they never take their "toys" either.

I drive mine to work, I also take my 240sx sometimes. I get alot of mixed responses from, "your little, fast and furious car, to people comparing it with sh**ty civics with fart can mufflers, "my exhaust sounds like that too, only its not supposed to, then there are the few, YOU HAVE AN EVO!!! SWEET!

I don't take mine to work very often. We have many modded cars where I work though, so the Evo fits in.... kind of

These cars may not ALL be there everyday as they're not all DD's , but they consist of:

My Evo
H22 EF hatch (daaaaamn quick)
WS6
twin turbo Integra DC2 (yes TWIN turbo)
STi
turbo B18 Civic Coupe (also owns a sick fox body mustang)
turbo B18 Civic hatch
modded RSX
NSX (manager from the other building down the street)
10 second foxbody (old man, not his daily )
Yamaha R6
Yamaha R1
CBR 600

My DD, no joke


I made a custom one off cardboard intercooler for it, just for kicks. I get a few double takes here and there

heh... I bought an 06 ES to be my daily. And in the last year I have put maybe 300 miles on my IX since I'm working all the time. Plus I always have kids waiting for me in the ES to race or whatever, so I can imangine if I brought the evo

I used to have a heavily modified 85 foxbody... ran 11's with street radials... but I drove that thing every day to work and back 100+ miles... ruined the transmission, so I dont want it to happen to the evo

I drive mine to school + work everyday. My coworkers and I all went out to dinner one night and I didnt really want to drive just because of how loud my car is, but they all insisted that wanted to ride in it. After about half way to the restaurant two of my female coworkers complain of it being to loud in the back seat.

Only if I cared..
