Question What is your Evo used for?

Just want to get a poll to see what the typical Evo owner uses his/her evo for. To put it bluntly, why did you buy your Evo?

Obviously, we use our cars in more ways than one, but please post the reason why you bought the car and whether your goals have changed throughout the years.

For Example:
My car was bought to be a daily driver. It's seen the road course a few times and the drag strip once, but nothing major. Within the next few years, I'd like to do more autox events and track days, but that will happen as I get a new dd.

Thanks for your input

I originally bought my Evo to be my daily driver and I knew I wanted to do some auto-x events with it. After doing a few of those events, I've been hooked and now the car is my auto-x/DD car

Down the road, I would like to participate in a few HPDEs, but we'll see if the car is still my daily by that point.

Daily driver for now, but I knew that when I bought it. I'd drive my E7 every day if I could but the dust from the plant where I work is wreaking havoc on its exterior, so I'm looking for a pickup or something for work purposes.

Daily driver, I won't dare turn it into something else while relying on it.

I voted other. I drive the car almost every day, but it's not a daily driver. I really don't have a commute to speak of and it's not my only car. I took it to the strip once, and it was auto-x'd, but I really couldn't care less about competing at anything at this point. All I care about is having fun. Just now, I'm about to go for some coffee. Starbucks is about two miles away. Might take me a half hour, at least.
