Looks like I am in fact getting an MR.

Well if all goes well I will be putting a 2000 dollar deposit on a silver MR sitting in the show room and a grey one that has yet to come in. The grey MR has a deposit on it already but the sales man said that it will probably be going through. The deposit is so the car doesnt leave my fingertips before I can finish gathering my downpayment on it since I need to come up with a little more money because I am a little youger than some of yall. I am so excited.

Just take it easy with it first. Evo's are hyper twitchy when you point them, no room for error. Gotta get to know them, unlike any other machine....

A lot of "run into curbs" stories...hmmm

Haha 2000 is only to hold the car. In total I am going to be putting about 7000 down on my car. And yes I am 100% definitely going to take my Evo and also first 6-speed car that I have owned very slowly. And I am definitely going to put myself in the best AWD driving school that I can find.

Well, I hope your money saving effort pays off and you don't drive like an idiot just because the car went to your head. Our cars have a bad enough rap because of the younger generation wants to drives fast as hell on city streets. And this is your first manual car? Well be sure to take it very slow.

Hunter congrats on your new car... Just remember that this is not a cheap ride to maintain.. insurance is killer for a young'un. Driving school is a good idea...I hope you have better self control than I did at your age..It was the insurance cost that made me have to give up my Vette when I married and bought my first house.

Well I am going to be staying on with my parents insurance and it was only 20 dollars more a month to insure the Evo over my Bronco. Also I was thinking about price to maintain and I did the math and came to the conclusion that I would save at least 250 a month on GAS alone. And I pay the same price to get my oil changed as most Evo owners as I have concluded and I make enough money to justify any other maintenence. And I also make my money driving 300+ miles a day and not driving wrecklessly.
