that's a classic one. right up there with 'the most offensive christmas song ever.' both are timeless classics as far as i am concerned.

here's a bit of trvia- i actually know how to say 'shut your ****ing face, uncle ****er' in hindi.

Want to give me a call after you have dinner?


I seriously feel bad about last night...you guys looked so sad.
dude, i had other issues, definitely not sad about you baggin on the evo. i totally get what you're saying about the car. every car i have had has been a love hate relationship - but almost always more love then hate. my car really doesnt have enough power. gotta do some major upgrades next season.

edit: i took the day off, in case anyone was wondering.

well after driving the car last night I definitely agree it is almost scary how many noises the car makes. I can't wait until it gets negative temps out.

well I am off to Rochester. I might commit suicide if the car doesn't blow up first.

Rochester? whyzors?

Regarding the love/hate nature of owning the car...I think the take-away message should be that while there are other cars out there that would be easier to live with, and spark less hatred (ie. 335i), I think that reduction of passion would also affect the "love side"...I'm not so sure that any car could make me giggle and grin as much as the Evo does for less than double its sticker price.


Apparently, though my mom and dad are driving up from Dirty Jerz this morning, they plan on leaving tonight or early tomorrow morning. So- Kate and I will be free all day...anyone up for hanging out?

They are so well built. Quality is unsurpassed. And tons of tuning potential. Elesha and I have talked about my next car quite a lot lately. This being one of them. As well as the new C300 Sport. But I may opt for the new 328i sport wagon. I have a daughter, a siberian huskie, and a pug. And I mountain bike, hike, go camping, and snowboard. So the extra room is necessary for me and my next choice. Especially when I have to bring the dogs to the vets, groomers or dog park. Thats an hour vaccuming the car out everytime I have to bring them somewhere I know the 328i only has about 230hp, but the Evo gets to stay in the family.

Well i just got back to my apt from Rochester, NY. Left my parents at 6:45am and made it back to my apt now. A LONG day of driving. My dad drove one way and i drove back since his night vision isnt as great. On a lighter note the (now) 223k 1998 Camry did brilliantly on the trip. I recently did a full tune up, which required almost nothing but an oil change. The car even managed to get 30mpg all highway of course but with 3 people in the car and all of my brother's crap that is pretty impressive. Not to mention not 1 hickup for just shy of 1000 miles of straight driving. Needless to say i was impressed.


I got back to my parents and drove the evo home well that thing is interesting when it is this cold. The clutch decided to have a COMPLETELY different engagement point for some reason and it was definitely not happy starting. I guess i am in for an interesting winter with learning the Evos temperaments. And Dave we will definitely need to plan some sort of snowboarding trip. I havent even pulled the board out but i want to go roll around at least once this year.
