Well I think i found heaven, I'm currently on vacation and I just finished driving the nurburgring and i have seen the light, so many nice cars are dd's here is insane. If kansas had a race track close to me i wouldn't mind ddying my evo cause i would spend every free moment I had tracking it and then driving it home.

Insurance scam?

I bought my evo with the intention of it being my beater and DD but it's too easy to modify and too much fun to drive so that's gone out the window and I will shortly have two cars that are not very practile.

I've always had beaters so that I'm not rushed when modding the good car. But...I buy cars I like for beaters and end up modding them. As an example, I bought an 95 Civic for a beater and promptly lowered it, full bushing kit, tie bars, sway bars, brakes, boosted, etc... I now have a turbo'd snow plow...

I DD my 04 Evo 8 RS with the 3" TBE and all the road noise and I don't mind it. Although I will be in the market for a cheap Honda for better mpg and to keep the miles low on the Evo. Just hit 35k.
