What do you mean by drive it enough? I drove the thing everyday for 4yrs. I've driven it plenty. I'm in a postion now where I don't have to drive it everday. I love the fact that I don't drive it very often now. When you don't drive it everyday it makes the times when you do that much better. Trust me

i agree it is new car excitement but i wasn't like this when i got my srt4. so that just goes to show you how much better an evo is. my neighbor just got a mazdaspeed 3 and always wants to go driving around at night. so there are some added miles.

plus i am out of town a lot. last weekend i was at disney world and had a crappy rental mustang. i did my best to lay as much of that rental rubber on orlando streets as i could. of course my passenger didn't share my enthusiasm especially when doing a 180 on international drive in the rain and another 180 to point in the same direction as traffic as fast as possible. i appreciated my evo so much more when i got home.

Geeze, didn't know you guys care about mileage so much. A car is meant to be driven, not sit in your garage...that's probably why mines have 75k on it. I understand where and and Pete(?) is coming from however; thats why I take the company car when I travel..lol. Anyway,

Yeah your right, it's me...

I'm trying to hold out putting gas in it before I go to the track on the 12th. Gonna be nice and empty so I can run some 100/106 oct and crank up the boost...

I expect to see a few of you there... (Nick, Chuck, Cynthia) and who ever else.
