Unfortunately, I'm my school, I have a "storage parking" decal where I can only park in the parking lots labeled storage. A lot of freshmen, a lot of retards. I tend to park in the back corners so I only have one person on either side at any given time.

The "nicer" parking lot at our school is not taken up by 75% construction materials and vehicles they drive the trackers in and out all day. I ruled that lot out pretty quickly.

The only perk is that when I drive through campus, every stares and goes "OH SNAP" . I even had a girl go "NICE CAR! I wanna see the "hunk" who is driving that thing!!." However, I have my windows tinted and if they were rolled down she would have seen my "alternative" *** sittin' there and probably would've shut her mouth.

Haha, I feel you there. I go to school out in the middle of corn field Indiana in a bankrupt GM town, so every Evo is treated like a Ferrari, and mine is the only one.

1: Take corners faster
2: Drive the backroads in search of the perfect twisty road (found 2 really good ones locally so far)
3: turn back and stare at it every time i get out.

When i bought mine i knew they were supposed to handle well, but mainly bought it because of their potential to be so fast in the straights. well that changed the first time i turned lol. now almost all i care about is corners and track days/auto-x. The straights take a distant back seat

Nah, I got to school with a bunch of drunken blonde chicks who feel the need to be extremely loud. All. the. time.

Edit** Damn, you're close to where I live. Ever been near Doylestown/Montgomeryville?

I'd be sorry, but it looks like you found one!

Rev it at a roll just to hear it
Look back at it everytime i get out of her
Have confidence in any driving condition therefore do not slowdown
Go the long way home just to hit my favorite corners
go on drives before bed because i cant sleep without driving it one last time
Warm it up for 10 minutes and let it cool off for ten minutes

1. Become a much more defensive driver.
2. Go out of my way to find a safe parking spot/ get mad when people go out there way to park next to me.
3. Make the diesel trucks (are everywhere) look like a-holes

1) The steering feels more incredible to me every day.

2) I think the chassis is getting more stiff with age.

3) I'm constantly analyzing the feedback I receive from the car: weight transfer, balance, and steering information are always on my mind- even when I'm driving under the posted speed limit.

- It's been a little over 5 years and I really believe that regardless of price, the Evolution is one of the best -true driver's cars- in the world.
