The evo is not my dd, so its fun everytime I'm in it. I have a 70 mile (round trip) commute to and from work, so I bought a 98 saturn sl2 as my work beater. If 4wd is required, I take the wifes 4runner. The sh!tty thing is everytime I'm out in the saturn, I see all the cars I want to run. Then when I'm in the evo, I cant find anyone. FML.

My evo is my dd, i love that car to death. When i can't drive it, i have an rx7 to back me up. (When it's not also giving me problems.) But the worst was driving my bosses PT cruiser from DC back to Pittsburgh. Talk about a boat. To go from perfomance handling, to turning the wheel for what i thought was a moderate amount for the bend in the road....and it barely responding. I thought i was going to kill us before i got the feel of that crap car.

I dont drive the evo at all during the week (unless moving it to a different parking spot), and not very often on the weekends.

My cowl shaking, torqueless, gay pride parade miata pulls daily duty for me with the evo being the "whenever" machine on the side. The miatas a blast to drive though. Slow, but stays glued to the road and gets killer gas mileage. Maybe when I can generate more funds I can start looking into the LS2 swaps that everyone seems to be doing to them these days.

I have a 93 rx-7 R1 as a backup. Although every time it goes over a puddle it whispers "i'm going to kill you" if my evo dies in the winter I'm screwed. Hmmm now that I think about, 1993 Rx-7 for sale =D

I actually always drove around in my civic 98% of the time and when I would pull up the Evo it feels soo fast and fun!....lately I have been driving the Evo 100% of the time for the last few months and now i feel like I need to make it faster cause i feel bored of it already.... LOL

Well what a sad day, my car would have been done today if it wasnt for the fact that I am also going to need a new flywheel. Damn.....

My clutch blew too and I'm driving a Chevy Cobalt rental. I decided to send my tranny to Shep while we had it out too, so I'm in this piece of crap for a while...

My Daily Driver is a 2005 4 Door Toyota ECHO....... When I get back into my Evo its boost time thats for sure, I forget how it feels to have a car that Accelerates and Feels the Road when I am in that Echo. I also have a Jeep that scares the **** out of me if I have been driving the Evo and go back to it cause it feels like its all over the road. Out here in Guam we have Coral Roads that are slick as hell and the Evo takes them well but they other cars like to get a little Sideways.

I daily drive a 2008 VW R32. Compared to the Evo, its slow, boring, and sloppy. It is nice and comfy though, has cruise control for long drives, and it can be sorta fun.... sometimes.

when my tranny and clutch went out, i was forced to buy something on the cheap. got a 1979 fullsize chevy truck with a 250 straight six and three on the tree.. talk about night and day.. geez.. the only thing holding the truck together was the bird s**t. you need a tetnis shot just from looking at it.. got me from a to b though.. but, made me appreciate the evo that much more
