or just being taken seriously when i go places with my family or work/business meetings.....not putting the Evo down as i will purchase another one for track use (9 RS this time), but as for business/family trips the Evo just didn't do for me

 

Hate to tell you but people with real SUV's (Range Rovers and the like) and real jeeps don't take you seriously at all. I have a few buddies with jeeps that can actually go off road and they can't stand that the SRT 8 is tied to the jeep name. It is pretty to look at though.
