I for one and sick of hearing about people whining about features that have nothing to do with a race car /rant

Anyway just wanted to know how many of you got your Evo for speed and how many of you bought it to be comfortable in


Disclaimer: I'm not talking about street racing and/or breaking laws just fun driving
Dont know about you but "fun driving" to me IS breaking the law. I find it funny how some people can claim not breaking the law in an Evo, if you really are concerned with breaking the law then get a Geo Metro for god sake, the Evo was meant to be used, use it.

No4 door Eclipse GSX.

I got mine because I was having a kid. I needed 4 doors and the Eclipse GSX was not going to cut it.

I also wanted to have an AWD car and I love the car more everyday.

I am not ready for a minivan and a walking cane just yet!

I am 36 and have gone 156!

got it due to the fact I was sick of dumping money in my 01civic and not realy seeing any real gains. Now if i dump that money in the evo then I'll have a space ship capable of light speed(jk). That and the fact my job is moving a half hour away instead of my usual 5-10min ride and I didn't want to commute in 6 inches of snow in a lowered vic. Evry day I go outside my house and have a perma grin. I saw a street racing dvd where a worked supra had a sticker that said I may need surgery to remove this grin. I think I need one of these bumperstickers now that I got my evo.

I bought mine to haul things, and not slip on snow and to drive it to my ENZO.

Then ENZO drives me to my Veyron.
