Realized that there's WAY more than just the cost of the car to deal with. :P
Realized that taking a turnaround at 45mph is the best way to launch rear seat passengers from one side of the car to the other while the driver stays comfy in his chair.
Realized that like the fairy princess, you can feel each pebble on the road...but at the same time its like a soldier...does EVERYTHING you tell it do on command.
Realized that people will break into your car to just sit behind the wheel.

While I do not own an Evo, I had several opportunities to test drive numerous different ones (working at a dealership has it's priveledges ).
I remember when the 03's came in and we (salespeople and managers) didnt know any better! Everyone drove those cars! Then we realized, wow these people dont want any miles on this car....oppps.... in 2004 we inacted a policy that only allowed our service technicians to drive the EVO's for PDI purposes only. This was a bummer for me personally but I understand how important mileage is to a potential new owner.
Every now and then we get a trade (EVO) and I get the pleasure to drive it!
All I can say is that I will never buy another sports car! If I go with anything sporty it will be the Evo hands down! I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for superiority!
Best regards,

ps. i bet 1/2 the evo's on this forum could waste an f40, with some sus. mods and a lil motor work, hell ya they only go 0-60 in 4.5 sec. watch the Top Gear when jeremy clarkson is up the @$$ of that lambo.
no dought the f40 would get more looks and im not saying that they dont run amazing, just saying don't dought the evo.

What I notice when I drive my friend's Evo is that that my Ralliart is f***ing slow, but my Firebird would have smoked it in a drag race!!!! His Evo is stock and that's the only reason. The Evo definitely rules the twisties though!!!!

I noticed that the longer I drive my EVO, the slower it goes.
Also...the more mods I put on the car...the softer it pulls..
In fact...I never get the same feeling as the first time i drive the evo again even I only drive the Evo twice a month....so sad...
