well it will be a strict daily driver, it has to last through college, and im going to TTU i will probably go with a MR but now im thinking abt an IX, the interior is much nicer and VIII's with the SSL pakage are sooooo hard to find

 

Why do I get the feeling you talked your parents into doing this, without them fully understanding the car. They probably think it is just another four door econobox. Someone needs to educate them fully.


Hopefully in two years they will know and be able to make a more informed decision.

 

I find it hard to believe that at 14 years old, you already know what college youre going to. I mean my 15 year old brother says hes going to Virginia Tech, but cant apply yet. Anyways back to the point....give me youre parents number haha, so I can let them know what this car is about. So I can make sure that youre in a 4 door honda, and still alive to make it to college. You know exactly what you want this car for. They dont.

 

what are you inferring?

 

With great horse power comes great responsibility.

Becareful with it. Also just because you can blow the doors off of half the cars on the road doesn't mean you need to race every ricer that pulls up beside you. Not saying don't have fun, I love a good on ramp when no one is coming, but the main thing with the Evo is to be mature.

IMO try get a WRX or a RalliArt, not quite a powerful as the evo but still fun. A good compromise.

Also I'd hate to see what insurance would cost for a young teen in an Evo.

 

That you arent just buying this car to drive around safely.

 

if i get this car it will be my baby, trust me, great advice shmu

 

+1 Stay under 200hp for your first car... learn how to drive first and control a car responsibly... If you dont respect the power of an evo it will kick your butt and we will be reading another thread of a blown motor or worse a totaled evo

 

when i said i want to make big power i said eventually, and i meant eventually, it will be stock through college.

 

Everyones Evo is their baby. Trust me, what youre saying isnt anything new.

 

well im really not an idiot, i will take good care of it i dont want some 400hp evo for my first car, but i want an evo, intake and exhaust maybe.

 

1st thing i said when i got my evo is "this car has plenty of power i wont need to touch it and dont want to. I want something stock and fast"

2 weeks later i was at 550hp... you say that now... then again you are only 14 and no offense might not be able to afford the big mods to get you to that power


even stock though is powerful and i think to much for a 1st car IMO

 

or he'll rice it out. the usual 1 thousand decal, 9 inch exhaust tip, and neons. those add power too.

 

i respect opinions from all of you guys because you have definatley ben swimming in the evo pool, i just got my feet wet. but parents said 20k for a first car and i really like the evo.

 

haha true statement!!!
