My evo is my DD however if I had to keep it in the garage waiting on a part or what not, I drive my wife's Volvo T5 (cute turbo), yup I said it cute turbo, I call it the volvo bunny turbo.

Well i have had my Evo for about a month now with no issues. if it does have issues i have a 86 toyota truck that has a solid axle conversion and sits on 36" super swapers to drive, or i can drive my 89 TII rx7, but the rx7 is so loud its not worth driving with the dang cops...

I find it hilarious that all the former DSMers are chiming in that they have a daily driver (including myself). I've got an '06 Civic daily, and the EVO gets driven maybe one day a week to work and then for fun on the weekends. On one hand, it makes it more fun to get into the EVO and appreciate it when you're not in it every day, but on the other hand I do find myself wishing I had a more "fun" daily driver. But then I can't justify spending money to get something quicker/sportier than the Civic when I could just drive the EVO more often. Ahh, to have your cake and eat it too...
