Wow I think first and foremost you need to get a plan in mind of what you are wanting out of a car. Do you want awd?,light weight, track car,daily driver, drag car... There are so many possibilities that you will never ever be able to have everything you want in one car. Even if you buy lets just say a Veyron then your going to miss your heated and cooled cup holders out or your sebring???
I say A. keep the evo as a DD and buy something bada## or B. buy a DD and leave the evo for a weekend warrior eiher way you cant really go wrong but selling all those cars and the money in them I dont think you have recouped your value...My opinion keep it and add to the stable

The fact that you financed the Evo X shows you aren't in the millionaire boys club just yet. Anyone who is financially savvy knows either a) buy used or b) never finance a depreciating asset.

At this rate, I sure hope your family's taken care of and you've got a house that's paid of. However, it's more likely that you're young, unmarried and have no dependents.

When you look back at these cars and all the money you spent on them, it's less likely that you'll remember them fondly and more likely you'll regret spending $ on crap you were bored with anyway.

You're addicted to the buying and modding process, not the end result itself. Hence you should buy a crappy old car and turn it into something beautiful. That way you a) Have a long term process for satisfying your urge to modify and b) Come out with a more valuable asset at the end.

Right now, you're just burning money you can't really lose (and spare me the I have lots of money speech. real millionaires don't hang out on Evo forums ummkay?)

Sometimes I want an S2K. Wouldn't sell the Evo for one though.

Take a deep breath, step back and relax.

Don't do anything.

If you want to trade it in, make a point of waiting one week exactly and see if you still want to do it.

Sounds like your a really impulsive person.

Keep the X, pay it off and once you get the cash, get the car that you wanted to get when you got the impulse.

Does it really matter? Whatever you get or don't get will prove to be the "wrong" car in less than a year.

Yea, what do you do for a job, all the switching around and dumping money into these cars.....

1. Do want you want to, in the end you live with your decision.
2. Sound kind of impulsive, so my suggestion, if you have had this feeling for a couple weeks, don't do anything for a month, and if you still feel the same, then change it and move on.
3. From your list, you probably shouldn't buy something you've already had before, there was a reason you changed before.

why not go out and use what you got (i.e., drive the F'ing thing) then see how much you like it. i'm not too wild about my car when it sits in the garage for days on end but driving it is a whole different experience.

I say give me your mods for free and that will make you feel better... there's more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. That way you will feel great and you still have an Evo.

Its seams that you want a racier car feel, but all you do is mod it and sell it.
Why don't you try and actually spend some money in driving school and take your evo to hpd track events.
You will see how much you like the 3000+ lbs evo, when your out their on the track keeping up with the smaller racier cars.
