Also, what's the usual cost for upkeep with owning an Evo as a DD? Thank you.

He's taking about vinyl wrapping. Both painting and vinyl wrapping will cost you thousands of dollars.

As for DD and luxury, and Evo isn't luxurious really and ismt the most comfortable for DD compared to an STI. You really have to choose what you like. There are lots of car's that will "kill it" on the street. You won't ever be driving your Evo at its full potential on the street so thinking in terms of "killing it on the street" you have a lot of options like the new 5.0 Mustang.

Done right? Crolls Customs.. around $4500+/- complete color change, engine bay, jams, trunk and I believe interior. Probably save some if you take interior panels and roll in with just a driver seat. It will be better quality then factory.

well, mike can run his race line all day long cause he aint never gonna race WW. i'll do my TT line and get around him, that's if he even show up.

For the record, I have already showed up at an event, PCD cold tire.
Maybe next time I go I will actually get to drive my car and teach Thai how to drive a proper line!
