I drive my MR2 when the Evo is getting work done to it. Now when both cars are down I borrow my dads 1969 VW Bus.

The dealership has had my car for two weeks now so I'm stuck driving my 03 Lancer until I get it back. Hopefully I will have it back real soon...

I havent driven my Evo in like 3 weeks and starting to get ancy.

Get ready to go from ancy to paranoid fast bro


I bought a 06 civic and i've been walking around with a frown for 6months - it's for sale now

Decided to keep the evo a week ago:
- got pulled over for looking suspicious at midnight in our nice neighborhood WTF
- My fiance' asked for food while in the hospital after delivering,exiting the hospital lot a cop who was outside of his car.. Suddenly jumped back in his car and made a u-turn to follow.. In front of the hospital
- another cop yesterday tried to flip a u-turn and follow me. He had to go pretty far down the street to do it.. I fled

I had to wait like a month to get my twin disc in. It sucked looking at my evo in the driveway everyday.

All I have is the EVO right now for the DD. The DSM is still in pieces. I'm just trying to do it right slowly and surely.

I drive my 95 eagle VISION TSi. Yes I said vision, not talon...v-i-s-i-o-n. I can also take my newly acquired 07 Kawasaki ZX6r!

Funny thing was my eagle has not broken down in about 1.5 years or so. Then the same week the clutch on my evo goes out, the eagle overheats because the water pump went out. I took it to a shop (could drive short distances) and they wanted to charge me $1100 to fix it. I took it home after paying the diagnostic fee since now I know exactly what's wrong, and fixed it for $80 and 4 hours time . I didn't have the bike at the time.

My Evo hasn't been in the shop at all unless it needs maintenance that I can't do. It's my DD and most of the time I ride either my 92 GSXR 600, or my 04 GSXR 750. I hate to bum a ride or be dependant on anyone else for a ride. Oh yeah I have a 01 maxima (wifes car) worse case scenario. LOL
