A 1988 Plymouth Reliant K car for work. I do a lot of traveling on dirt roads and rack up the miles so I needed a beater car and this one was cheap and in good shape. Quite a switch from the K car during the week to the Evo on the weekends.

word to the wise...when owning an evo as a DD and you do any type of modding to it....buy another DD and leave the evo for nights and weekends.

Ive been waiting to get my xfer case back from shep so im stuck rolling in a 2000 pontiac grand am or driving the wife mobile (2001 eclipse spyder gs) both which are extremely sluggish and the grand am handles like a 5 ton truck in turns . Being a former DSMer as well i realise the importance of having a DD as im sure all do. Being without my beloved evo takes me into a deep depression ( seriously) but at least i get to drive my 93 TALON TSI when i travel back home (hand-me-downed).

When my car is down (which is rare), i have another toy at hand...Lexus IS with a 2JZ Twin Turbo with 506 whp. So switching rides doesn't affect me much but the Evo's ride, although rougher, is just quite....how should i put this...better!

I had to drive my parents Expedition for the last 2 months while I was doing my motor build. Damn I hate driving that f'n thing. The first time I drove my Evo again it brought a tear of joy to my eye, lol. After having a sporty car for 4 years suv's just won't cut it for me.

I can't stand "normal" cars for DD(I don't know how anyone does)thats why I have an Evo. Downtime blows. Even 500 mi clutch break-ins are torture.
