This is why America is in so much debt. American people like to spend the money they dont have to buy cars and house and etc. When I first bought my evo, I make sure I put down decent down payment and I still have enough money in the bank just in case. I have lots of credit cards, and I pay my balance in full every month! I never pay a penny in interest, (My credit score is 800+) and I still have my evo with nice selection of mods. Please if you don't have the money for the thing don't buy it.

Well written summary of an experience w/ maintaining a family budget & owning a sports car.

No doubt, EvolutionM is the most expensive club Ive ever joined. My membership was $23,500.00 (Used 2006 RS bought 3 years ago). 3 years later and approx $10,000 in installed mods. Still have it & enjoying it

Your experience w/ the RS will be greatly enhanced if you add it to the gallery when you can. We would be honored to have you join us

Peace

Best part of this post. If anyone should take something away from this, it should be this. I've seen so many marriages get torn apart because of financial issues, yet they had sports cars, big tvs, and loads of credit card bills.

Waiting for what you want is not always the easiest thing to do, but it becomes much more worth it when you do. Sadly, for most people, it's often too late to realize this.

Congratulations on getting out of debt and OWNING the new EVO. Now enjoy it!

My friends and family always give me a hard time about all the money I put into my Evo...and I let them. Then when their done, I always get them because they can never say the same. I tell them all my cars are paid for, are yours. Then they dont say anything. Sometimes they'll say well you wont get your money back! Then I tell them I'm not selling my car! It took me a year to save for the car I wanted but it was worth it!
