For your first car, seriously I'd just get an SUV of some kind. If you get an Evo (or any regular passenger car for that matter), you're going to curb rims, scratch up the rear bumper backing into things, destroy the front fascia bumping into concrete barriers, etc. You WILL do these. The chances that you won't are akin to having 10k lines of code compile on the first try. If you're ok with this and plan to repair your car every few months, go for it. If not, you might try looking into that Jeep Cherokee SRT8... it's pretty sweet and is probably a lot more forgiving when you get intimate with curbs & bushes

Eh... everyone's hating. ****, I should be hating too... BUT. If you have the chance to get an X... get it. Just be safe, and responsible. If someone wants to race u on the street or the freeway, hold up a poster saying "@ DRAG STRIP" lol. Or have lil sticker sentence on your front window and ur rear window saying "I ONLY RACE @ DRAG STRIP. DONT BOTHER ME."

Just please. Dont wreck it. WE'LL FIND OUT. lol. you'll be dubbed "TRUE DUMB *** IN THIS WORLD FOR LIFE BECAUSE YOU WERE THE FIRST TO TOTAL AN EVO FOR STREET RACING/SHOWING OFF"

i wish it was 120 a month but that how much they raised it a month. try 420 a month and iam 24 years old with a clean record. THats right no tickets or accidents nothing. why because they rated the car higher because people like sparky buy them and wrap um around a tree.

I had to find another ins company because i refuse to pay that much with a clean record. my insurance is now 866 for a 6 month policy. but iam sure that won't last long before they rate it higher

How old are you and how did you save up enough for a 30+ grand car when you are most likely 17 or 18yrs old? I want to know what you do to afford this car and where I went wrong in life.

If they let you drive them, around here you have to be 18 to go on a test drive.
