Jeep is for the snow, Dakota is for weekend dump runs/house work, etc, and the EVO is the daily driver.

I have a IX and an 03 Impala... guess which one I choose to drive. I didn't pay $30K+ to let a car sit in the garage!

I just bought a EVo as a 3rd car. Told the wife it would replace my SVT Focus as a daily driver. "It will do much better in the snow with AWD, its got 4 doors, and it even comes with 4 doors" ....I havn't even driven it yet and I'm already thinking I will need another vehicle for the crappy MN winter days Its just too nice looking to get all salt and wathc it start rusting

But ya, if you are planning to start modding it I would plan to have another more reliable car. I learned this lesson when I started modding everything about my Talon, while it was my only car.

the Evo is too many cars in one....i see no reason to not have it as ur only car and/or DD.

just stay off boost for most of the tank and the mpg is not that bad (23-24 on my stock IX gsr)

of course i will get another car soon (mr2 turbo), but that's because i want to have another fun car to play around with

I just sold my 92' Talon Tsi after racking up 28,000 miles on my evo in a year. Originally I wanted the Talon as a daily driver and the Evo a weekend warrior. But that never happened, I seemed to quit driving the talon altogether once I bought my Evo.
