Evolution: The Difference in Driving

So, I recently bought an evo. I used to drive an olds alero coupe and some things changed when I started driving the evo. I definitely noticed a difference in what I do.

So, I want to know the 3 things you do different from driving Car "X" to driving an evo.

Mine:

1. Smile when I get into the car.
2. Take the long, scenic route instead.
3. Drive around the parking lot for extra minute or two, looking for the safest spot.



What about you guys?

1. Don't worry about my motor exploding every time I hit boost. Came from a high compression turbo rotary.
2. Go to track days as often as possible.
3. Completely ignore how much I spend on gas because anywhere I drive in the car is worth the cost.

1. All 4 windows down (Winter or Not =)
2. Numerous unnecessary drives to the Ethanol station
3. Likely to be at some level of Turbo Boost

Congrats to you on your new hobby. Watch your Wallet!!!!

1) listen to the exhaust and engine instead of music.

2) do not care how much fuel I use.

3) refuse to use the a/c.

Own an evo, be married, and have a kid. There is no such thing as wallet then.

I think I get paid from time to time

Story of a Dad huh?

Lol I got enough money to cover "In case sh*t happens" and then as soon as I sell my old car, I'll start paying off my loan. Either way, what ever small remnants of it is left, goes towards dinner for the lady

1. Playing with and sometimes humiliating cars that cost 5-10 times more than the Evo does.
2. Always find the longest and twistiest routes to and from certain destinations.
3. Forget about all the BS life can throw at you.

1: fuel is not a concern
2: spending almost all my paychecks to pay off my loan
3: the money that doesn't go towards the loan going to parts

My living room currently looks like a napa parts warehouse

Yeah they are a bunch of vacuums.

I've got a 3 month old and she eats like an effin horse lol

It's all worth it though, kids are great......

Anywho, back on topic

1. Drive with the windows down to hear exhaust.
2. Turn radio off to enhance the above.
3. Drive extra fast in the rain (without the kiddo in the car of course )
