Advice needed.

I currently own a DSM and a WRX. My wrx is stock and my dd, while the dsm is nodded and my project car.
I've recently been thinking of buying an Evo. So, what should I do?
Sell both of my cars to buy an evo and mods or keep my dsm and get a different dd. Either way I'm selling the WRX.
Thanks

An evo is a great DD car as long as your willing to keep up on the mainteniance. Is it possible for you to keep the dsm and get an evo after selling your wrx?

Sell both and get the Evo. I sold my S2000 and DSM when I bought mine.

Evo's make fairly reliable 500+whp DD's with good parts

don't think the evo or wrx is a good DD car, DD car should stick with low gas, and comfort.

Sell both and don't look back. I've owned 5 awd dsm's and they were almost the death of me.

If I keep my DSM , I dont think I will have enough money to buy an evo. I wish I could do it though. I keep up on maintenance on both of my cars, more so the DSM.

My wrx gets 22mpg, Id say thats pretty good gas mileage.

It's a long story but suffice it to say that modded dsm's are meant to be projects/garage ornaments and not reliable.

I see... Ive owned 6 GSX's. Mine, so far, have been pretty reliable. I guess its just how much time you spend on them and the maintenance. Yeah, sometimes they break, but you fix it and move on.

Not to mention getting jewed by cheap liars which run rampant in the dsm world. I don't sound bitter do I lol. While I do agree to an extent, **** tends to just happen with them. My last one was a 2.4 G4CS PT67 yada yada. It had potential but I parted it out before it could break... again.

I guess it's all about what you're looking for in a car and what you plan to do with it. I'm sure you're familiar with the Evo being a Mitsu guy so I'm sure I don't need to convince you.

Sell both and buy the Evo and a dinky little Civic or something extremely cheap to maintain and drive around in daily.
