I drive mine everyday, and it's an amazing car.

That said, I want a small truck so I can actually haul stuff and still get good gas mileage. Sadly, the evo does neither of those very well.

I had a 96 monte carlo given to me that needed the head gaskets changed. So I drive that to keep the miles down on the evo and so the evo can be parked in the winter and not get all the salt on it from northern michigan roads through the cold months.

i bought a 96 del sol, that was originally supposed to be a DD and a little gas sipping drop top. it never ended up turning into a DD it now has a fresh paint job, gold rota svns, jdm honda decals as well as my latest purchase for it a set of DC5 red recaro seats. so now i have two play cars and i tend to drive one of my parents cars out, when i either go to work or some other tedious driving. the evo usually comes out on the weekends and as for the sol she gets pulled out every so often

Im looking for a beater... Im sometimes driving 200 plus miles per day for work and I hate seeing the odometer climbing in the evo... She runs like a champ, but deserves better...

Just picked up a new "beater" for a daily driver. 2011 wrx. My evo is stock until i get all my parts, but as of now the wrx would rape it in a strait line. Evo murders it around a corner though.
