I dont have kids, I dont have to pay rent, I have no responsibility.... Just the car, It raises my credit and teaches me financial responsibility.. PLUS, THe car is worth it 1000 times over to me. Its my baby

I hear ya, If I could afford an evo I would buy one. Unfortunately, these days college educations dont come cheap when your not recieving many grants/scholarships/etc. I have rent,house bills,text books and other stupid **** for me to pay that comes out of my pocket,so my education and living expenses are my major responsibility . Everyones financial situation is different which I understand, I just couldnt believe the amount of people of high school age that own these types of cars. Maybe one day when I no longer pay a tuition bill will I be able to afford something in that bracket of cars such as an evo .

26 yrs old, used with 58k on it in 2009. One owner, came from Cali. Broke the dealers arm and walked out the door with it the second I found it on vehix.com. Right price, right time, and to hell with how much it costs. The visceral feeling i get everytime i get behind the wheel is worth ten thousand times what I paid for it.

I. Love. My. Evo.

Brand new 2003 bought in May 2004 when I was 18. Car has been sitting since Feb 2008 due to a blown engine and is slowly coming back together.

Bought mine when I was 19 and now Im 23. I was single and in the military so it wasnt that hard to make the payments. Car is still going strong with almost 70k and about to start doing some hard mods.
