LMAO. Older people make me laugh. I've driven cars with way more power than the evo. This car has power but people make it seem like there's a jet engine under the hood. Like only the 40 year olds and up can control this car. Btw every single mod ive done to my car came out of my pocket. Parents didnt do anything but sign when i bought my car. Oh and i work at a family buisness which isnt involved with mom and dad's money. Older people HATE because when they were our age they drove wooden cars with no tires. Homos.
Family business, eh? Why didn't you get a job on your own like others? ANd Wooden cars with no tires and homos? That shows your maturity, kid. This is a public forum, so you may want to watch it. If you cannot keep your cool, then you should not post.
There were no Evo when I was in Evo, or I could care less if a kid drive an Evo, but I would like to point out one thing. When we say afford an Evo, and when kids say afford an Evo is different. We pay for our houses, food, insurance, or whatever the living cost, then car payment. In kids' case, they can pretty much spend all their money. That is alright, I think. When you are young, and when your parents are supporting you, you have more freedom.
Like someone else says, we all learn from our experience.

im 17 and i afford it just fine working 40 hours a week while going to school. its just about finding a good paying job. also in a trade school for automotive. so i konw alot about my car. not only that there is something called savings which u can try to put some money in there every pay check if u have one and then u can save up for that turbo kit or w.e u want. mine will be on its way soon 
dont let people bring u down on the forums just have fun drive safe and enjoy the ride!!
dont let people bring u down on the forums just have fun drive safe and enjoy the ride!!Wow saving money on every paycheck what a novel idea. Since you know so much about savings im sure you also have funds in money market accounts and have started a 401K with the company match already. I'm sure your also milking your benefits at your good paying job. You see buddy, its not about the envy which you kids try to portray we had when we were younger.Its about trying to make the right decisions. I'm sure the information will be expunged from your memory after you read this but again the only thing you will retain from this experience is your exacerbated attitude toward everyone older than you.

Its really sad that the parents allow the purchase of these types of cars. These cars can and will get away from you, don't think they won't. I didn't get my license untill i was 19. why?. cause i felt i was not ready to have the responsiblity to get behined the wheel. Driving is a privilage and acting stupid will get that privilage taken away quickly. Yeah it sucked riding the bus home and seeing all my friends drive their mustangs and camaros and acting stupid. When your 16-18 you act like your king **** and your attitude reflects it. I still remember two of my friends racing down the street in front of my bus only to run a red light and hit a minivan carrying a mother and her two babies. I won't go into to much detail but the only thing they lost were their license, as for the mother and her two sons. iam sure if they were here today they would be saying the samething. sportcars and sportsedans don't, and i mean don't mix with stupidity. You will see and your parents will see when that ticket you will mostlikely get shows up. all i ask is don't come down to laurel and act stupid, i have a little one and i will be damned if some little kid driving something he has no business driving will take her from me. btw good luck with insurance in md i have a perfect record and i still pay 3k+
Some people are fortunate enough to have an evo at that age and I say more power to ya, I wish I could have had an evo at 16.
For ****s sake don't get a BOV, just get a hard pipe and cone filter. It will sound just like it and not screw your car.

Just be safe and have fun, don't hurt yourself or anyone else... everyone does stupid stuff sometimes, just be careful 
As for the mods, get the BR intake and a Tenabe Medalion touring catback. They sound sweet and the catback is quiet enough to be street legal
