Well if you had 50 cars already, and you are 29 now, that is makes you own a car an average 3 month until today.
Not counting the 51 , the Evo X.
I assume you own your first car, when you was 16 years old.
So here is the question, how did you picked your cars that poorly? Since you change them very often. Dont tell me, you wrecked them .
Even if you did go to the same model, It is still much more then how many manufaturer is exist.
If you didn't choose them poorly , then why are you change them? You got bored in 3 months ?

It is interesting for me

on the subject , yes i got a second thoughts as soon as the car rolled out from the show room.

"Where do i start..."

1st car when i was 14, from 14-16 i think i had about 5 cars in total. I dont have 1 car at a time, generally have about 3-5 at a time. Right now i have the evo, 07 f150, 07 ford fusion, and a 1985 vw jetta gli with a vr6 swap, oh and i have a 08 r6. I have the advantage(or disadvantge) being in the automotive industry, i come across cars at amazing deals, that i cant pass up. Alot of the cars that i've had(older cars not new ones)i dont keep more than about 6 months or so, i buy them drive them around have some fun with them then, trade em or sell em. Thank god no accidents.

Only regrets:
1) not getting it tuned sooner.
2) not getting the clearbra sooner.
Had it since July and still loving it every day!

sometimes i feel that i should have just gotten a used 8 or a 9 because those were the evo models i truly wanted, payments would be lower but there would be interest.

couldnt really pass up the 0% interest on the X though. Interior is also a step up, still love the look of the older generation though.

i think once i get coilovers and wheels all the regret will go away though =D.

as far as i know when you turn 16 you can drive with some one in the car who have a license. When you turn 17 then you can drive , but if i'm right with some restrictions.
To own the car you need a SSN only if i'm right.
But the NJ DMV is a big twilight zone for me...

Had my GSR for 11 months and I still get that feeling. When ever I come on the forums it just builds my excitement up to the point that I have to go drive her. I came from two STI's and I never had the passion for those cars as i do for my x. Stellar evo performance with a pretty nice interior. It's the whole package. I f'n love this car...no regrets here

My only regret is not getting into the X sooner. I had an VIII and then an E46 M3 and finally am in the X. I was quite hesitant about getting the car from everything I was reading on the forums but my transmission is fine, just a little notchy but nothing a purposeful shift doesn't handle. Thanks to everyone else I knew to have a pair of Rally Armor mud flaps waiting for me when I bought it and immediately did Venture Shield to protect the paint. I'm quite happy with the car.

No buyer's remorse here. I prefer the X to my VIII in every way except for the seats (my VIII was SSL). The X seats are insanely supportive. It's just that I'm having the recalcitrant staple issue and I'm concerned that the fabric on the side bolster is going to wear out prematurely. Aside from that I love it, especially with the Works P2 flash and drop in filter.
