How many of you are tired of seeing/hearing about beaten on Evo's?
The previous owner of my Evo left something to be desired in the care department. But for the most part everything is repairable and nothing major. He smoked in the car and there are some burn marks. I am not sure what he did to the passenger rear door panel but I replaced it because it had some gashes in it. There are some minor body work issues (you really don’t see them until you look for them). The only thing that I need to get taken care of now is the pealing CF wing.
Other than that the car is in pretty good shape. I do all of the work I can on the car that time and tools allow considering this is my DD. Right now my car is dirty but at least I am not gashing a door panel or beating it up. This guy obviously did not care how his car looked. Dirt can wash off gashes and that cannot. He traded the Evo in on an RX8, I picked it up for a nice price and as I said most of the things are relatively minor but annoying none the less.

everyone doesnt think the same as you
bottom line is who cares what other people are doing with the cares they purchase.
i guess if it bothers you that much, go buy them kids all the parts that tickle your fancy...cause thats why they bought the cars, to please you
i understand what your saying tho, i put nothing on my car unless im getting benefit in performance from it. but not everyone thinks the same way

lol, there is a guy (prolly young 20's) that has a evo near me. And he pisses me off really bad. Instead of getting a full tbe he gets just a muffler just like MOST, not all, civics and integras. But before his purchase of the gay muffler he takes off the stock one for the sound.
I asked him why he did that, thinking maybe it fell off or something but he just said it sounds better. I didnt say another word and just drove off. He always waves at me and i do nothing back. That really grinds my gears

I'm 17 and I take care of my car and drive it like I'm driving a Toyota Rav 4. I really don't see the point of going WOT every single day every single second. But when I'm usually in the mood (fridays and saturdays usually) I will take my car and "get on it" with some shifting that usually gets done at redline, which is always fun. But I take care of my car and hope she takes care of me. The Evo is just a normal car to get me from point A to point B but when the car is begging me to open her up than i get to point B a lot faster.
this is all sad, but u can look at it this way - with every Evo that's wrecked or taken apart and turned into a christmas tree (u know, shiny objects, and pointless lights hanging from every possible orifice), the rest of our Evos go up in value.
there were only so many made, right ? 2000 or 5000, whatever the production numbers were, with every year, we are that much closer to taking our babies to "Barret-Jackson", and striking it rich

haha, i am watcging barret jackson right now. seeing all these cars going for like 70k from the 40's and 50's got me thinking what our cars will be worth in that many years. I think though it might be different in the next 25yrs.

heres my take. im on both sides of the fence
on one side, i love seeing evos molested and destroyed because the well maintained ones will get a premium later on.
the other side of me hates these people. i hate being associated with ricer bs. hate being associated with moronic car "enthusiasts" who like the whoosh sound, and want to know how to vtek their evo..

Ok, do you really want to know what irks me the most? How about people with absolutely dumb retarded questions. Questions like "I think my clutch is slipping, what should I do?", or questions like "I want to get a walbro, is it safe to drive on?", or "do I need a tune for my cams?" It's the idiotic questions that really irks me on here, like their problem has only occurred to them and them alone. It's no wonder that you don't see many replies by the real knowledge based owners on this site, and it's no wonder that people like David Buschur and others seem as bitter as they do. Normally I stick solely to the EcuFlash section just for the reason of people actually use their brain's there to logically solve problems. Believe it or not, intelligent conversation stimulates intelligent thought...think about it, it might take a while.
Maybe I should've made the thread title to read "How many of you are tired of stupidity and idiocracy?"

but most people have to learn how to deal with ignorance and not get pissed off if someone asks a "dumb" question. and if companies such as bushur are bitter because people that dont know simply want to be informed, they need to hire a customer service and just stay in the shop.
