i was just curious as to why i see so many people trying to get rid of their EVOs so they can hop in a BMW.
why?

 

because BMW is sick? lol

 

A lot of people are growing up and need a car that better fits a professional. It's not always good to pull up to potential clients with a 10 inch high wing... Unless you are an ad exec and your client is Mountain Dew. And some people feel the need for a little more luxury. As awesome as we all think the Evo is, and as much as we feel it's the only car worth driving, a large part of the adult world simply doesn't subscribe...

Also, BMW is sick.

 

I couldnt have said it better myself. Not to mention bmw still gives the driver the luxury of have a m/t unlike mercs

 

wow, i guess i never looked at it like that becuase im in the military.
well said.

 

i never want to have a job where people judge your ability by the type of car you drive.

there's something wrong with that train of thought...

 

It's not about judging your ability based on the car. Think of having the right car for the job as wearing the right suit for the job.

Wouldn't you feel a little bit worried if your lawyer, who was going to represent you and defend you in court, showed up wearing cut-off shorts and a hawaiian shirt with flip-flops?

Same kind of deal -- sort of.

 

good analogy, same principals applied. like first impressions and sterotyping. but when it all comes down to it, you can always park your evo in the back of the office or on the other side of the parking lot.

 

just get both....








<---

 

i get where you are coming from but its still poor logic.

if i drive an evo, a bmw or a POS beater, it doesnt negate any of my accomplishments.

i never understood the "image" thing....


back to the topic.

 

It's the same reason you don't wear flip flops to the office when everyone else wears ties. I'm not saying I buy into it, but it exists. I plan to own an Evo into my early 30s.

Plus BMW has a great service plan and the introduction of the 135 and 335 are great "adult" options for high performance cars.

 

then, get Both and use them accordingly

 

Build quality, more age appropriate, RWD, still modifiable.

 

And if you buy the M3, it shows you still have a little led left in your pencil, and you can **** people up with class

 

I went with the evo because its more reliable in all the day to do driving that you would do throughout the year, especially being in ohio... the car is made to perform in extreme weather conditions. If your scared of not looking professional enough you could always take off the decals or heaven forbid the wing. That would add a few years maybe, and be less of a target for the fuzz. Of course not all Business guru's look down on the evo, one of my boss' drives an aston martin and he knows the evo is badass... I made it a point to take him for a "ride" in the snow one day
