cause they envy what they cant have

 

there are thousands of people who like the evo..its life that some will think its a joke.

 

Agree here. Go wingless if it bothers you. Car looks more normal after that and put some evo VII tails on it.

 

^He hit it on the head.

 

i'm 26 and i've ran into a few people that have criticized the car (mostly for the wing) you have to understand you chose an evo for a reason.. its a practical 4 door super car. never doubt or regret choices youve made. you made them for a reason. i had owned 4g63s my whole life and i was debating on whether to buy a G35 (looks great, not fast and over priced) or the evo, something i knew was bomb proof and i'd be happy getting into for years to come. your going to have haters but you will have just as many enthusiasts who make your feel ecstatic about your car. point is you own a car that is ahead of its time, not all people are going to know and understand what we drive and why. but does that really matter? the answer is hell no. you bought this car for a reason and never let anyone's negligence impact your opinions.

 

have ***** to not care what others think

 

haters r everywhere and i dont think theres an age to drive this car. im 20 but i think if i were in 40th its not a prob, that only a way to get less older xDD

 

Im sure you dont like every car you see right?? but if you told your friend man the rx7 is one of the ugliest cars thats all your opinion you dont have the subject yourself to anything you dont want you. you can either

1. tell them ok thats your opinion and move on
2. agree with them and just respond ok to there rants
3. state if you dont like it fine just dont discuss it around me
4. get up and walk away
5. Ignore them

I have only met one person that did not like my evo and i responded ok thats your opinion and your entitled to that and changed the subject of the conversation. My comment to you is that we as owners all hear it but i did not buy my cars based on other peoples opinions i bought it based on my research and i liked what i saw. Nothing anybody is going to say friends GF Parents etc is changing my mind nor am i even hearing that conversation. This is the internet i dont have be grammatically correct if you want that go to a english class

 

Well, I am in my late 30's and it does not make a difference. People dislike what they have not. It is only until they have driven an Evo, do they understand ( this was the case with most of my friends that drive BMWs and Mustangs ).

 

I am 38. I get a few looks (especially with my plate saying "BOOSTED") Mostly from soccer moms. My neighbor told me that she thought the plate meant I stole it. Anyways this car is a pure menace! I love the fact that when I am rollin there is not a car that I have met on the road that can compete. It's a rush to know I am king (when I want to be) and I really get a kick out of driving a couple mph under the speed limit. The looks I get when my 4 year old is in the booster seat in back and I'm doing 68 in a 70mph is pure joy. I have owned a lot of fast cars in my day (3 over 600 whp) and they just can't compare. Enjoy what you have (and I know we all do) and let every comment (good or bad) come as a compliment.

Cheers, Rick

 

Yea people constantly ask me why I didn't just get an M3. Or even an M6 with how much money I have in the Evo eheh. But ya, take your wing off, I took mine off and it looks a little more grown-up.

 

Id tell them because the gumball machine that they come out of was jammed so I had to go to a car dealer. Subarus are like fat chicks, only around when they know there the biggest baddest one there.

 

When it comes to other people and their opinions:

"Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind.”

 

I'm 35 now. And like someone said earlier, people who criticize the Evo are probably not car enthusiasts anyway... so don't worry about them. Swapping for a set of JDM rear light does help give it a more "adult" look. I've gotten the finger once before though. But for the most part, the vast majority of people give me the thumbs up and they seem to suspect there's something different about the car. Most of the “challengers” I get these days are from E92 M3 and E60 M5 owners. If that's the case, you know you've got something special.

Rock on.

 

I feel exactly the same way. I just turned 21 (had the evo since i was 18, i know i know young but i paid for and work very hard please don't hate lol) And i feel that i am even out growing it. I work at a country club where i am a Tennis instructor and a lot of the middle aged guys tell me i need to get something new or that thing is to loud or whatever. I HATE having a loud car and i HATE looking like a little boy toy type deal. Next mods is to quiet down the exhaust, take the wing off, and make my suspension more livable. I do autox a lot but i think its time to make this more streetable.

With that being said its your car and your life. The car can be very tame if you drive it and set it up as such. Removing the wing and making it quiet will deff score you some points in getting out of that young boy toy image. Enjoy your car, its basically the best import you can have for the money that rules all motorsports lol.
