Lancer to Evo
Its not that simple of an argument. A lot of people that modify evos put so much money into them that they could have bought a GTR that they previously thought they couldn't afford had they just saved all that money and waited (of course this is assuming that they would want a GTR in the first place but its just an example for argument's sake). But does that mean they should have bought a GTR? No. Theres a difference between cash now and cash youre able to earn over time. You may be able to afford the car payment on an evo (or a GTR) but doesn't mean you can afford to maintain it much less modify it. And everyone who owns an evo knows that it all adds up fast.

The conclusion from what I'm seeing is almost 50/50 lol. Don't get me wron I love the lacer but I find myself looking at upgrades and weighing the pros and cons. Pros being performance increase and cons being cost away from just getting an Evo. If I were to get one if most likely not just want an Evo I want it to be nicer so I'd have to do 08 or newer. Not wanting to spend more than 25-26 but I think my lancer and 8 on top should easily get me into something like that. Then I step back and say what kinda upgrades can I do with 8k or should I just save 8 grand and stick with what I have. All in my argument on do or don't i
Im a fan of dd +race car because when your race car runs into trouble and your stuck with no car it sucks big time trust me lol. I say keep the lancer stock and continue saving for the evo

If I were to get an Evo it would be my daily driver as there is no way I can afford two car payments and two in car insurances. But I did kinda want a Ducati as my DD if I got an Evo. Better fuel economy and that way maybe I could have both

i bought an 03 ES about two years ago and im planning on some mods( bodykit, paint, rims, intake and exaust, as well as some interior mods) and im gonna start saving for an Evo at the start of the year, but my wife will drive the ES and ima drive the Evo, and as far as insurance is concerned, e-surance quoted me at less than 100 a month for two cars full coverage, under 25 single. so its affordble.
