Keep evo for winter or wait until spring
Ok guys, heres the deal..........my dad said that if I garage the evo until April or May to save gas money and insurance, he will give me $5,000 to spend on my car. Now my question is that should I keep the evo and get the winter tires put on and have fun or should I wait 5-6 months to drive my baby, but I get $5,000????

i thought it was taken away becuase you were caught talking with a girl or something along those lines. Play with it in the winter but don't wreck it. It is fast enough for a driver still learning the road.

Just because most of us drove crap-box's when we were 16 doesn't mean anything.

As for the original question, I think that you should try putting it in the garage for a while and if you see that you can't live without it, then start driving it again. Also, you have to weigh some other factors in. What would you be driving if you won't be driving your evo? Also, what kind of weather do you have during the winter? If you have harsh winters, I would garage it for sure. If we are only talking rain, then that's a different story.

It is nice his dad trusts him with the car and was generous enough to buy it. I think it is the fact that he came on the forum and asked whether to park it for the winter or take 5grand. It makes him seem spoiled and possibly as though he is showcasing his wealth. Muslim EvoFreak needs to make these decisions by himself and should not broadcast that he is getting 5grand to let his car sit in the garage.
