Thats bad lol. But if it makes you feel better, I used to think stickers were mods hahaha. This was when I was like 14 years old though. A certain car club I wanted in said two major engine mods and two minor exterior mods and other stuff, so I threw two stickers on the valve cover and presented my mods hahaha. They were like WTF. haha

My favorite thing other than the handling is the short pause you feel just before the turbo spools up and the initial turbo jolt that soon follows.
Not to mention spanking the 350Z that lives somewhere in my neighborhood. He keeps on trying and its starting to get dangerous and repetitive.
PS Im still very excited every time I get behind the wheel and Ive had the car for more than a year!!!

1) Steering rack ratio.
2) How comfortable the seats are.
3) Cheap insurance (I'm 20 and pay $150/month - AAA)
4) How good it looks with basic mods (evo 8 - tint, gunmetal stockers with silver brembos)
5) Compliments I get from black women!

I didnt expect that every time I washed it or it rained my engine bay was going to be a mess every single time. haha
Also didnt expect it had an aftermarket clutch, but soon after i bought it the last owner told me he had just installed an act clutch. I did about 10 launches right after he told me haha

Quick steering, handles great, and the power from this 2.0 liter is amazing even stock. Pretty much I love it all except for the rattles which I didn't have when it was new.

1) The respect it commands on the road. I came from a Scion tC that had many suspension mods, intake, exhaust and would get ricer flyby's from civic's and v8's. That has significantly decreased since owning the evo.
Also, leaving a parking lot this past saturday from an autoX (that I was just spectating), when I fired it up (3" tbe) everyone turned around and watch me the entire way as I was leaving.
2) The gas milage when I am not thrashing it 27mpg
3) Low insurance

Another thing I appreciate now that I have it is the fact that it sits so high. I know this sounds weird but I actually like not worrying about scraping my bumper or bottoming the car; and the way it handles you would never think its sitting much higher then the average sports car.
