My wife and I were coming back from a nice dinner, so our attire and appearance were not a factor. I'm glad the all the hedgies, bankers in Northern Cal are so open minded, but I guess that's the California experience. Here in 06830, the Evo does not garner respect. My comment regarding F&F was simply directed at you because all you care about is dynamic performance. I want my car to excel at more than the performance columns of a review. I can also do without the 1980s econobox interior.
Why does the performance part on its own matter so much? Do you still derive pleasure in being faster than the car in the next lane after being in the business world for 10 years?

It's not always about being faster than the car in the next lane; it's about being true automobile fans, and very few cars deliver the pure driving experience than an Evolution does, (an E55 and G35x certaintly do not fall into this select few vehicles.) You seem to have your priorities different than most of the people on this forum. Most of us simply enjoy being able to have the telepathic steering and more than ample power that Evo's provide, (although you'd be hard pressed to find someone that didn't want to make their car even faster.) I'm sorry that you are more concerned about what others think about you and what car you drive. Simply put, the Evo is a drivers car. If your mentality is otherwise, than I'm glad you are no longer part of this community.

Oh and also; Google, what do you do for a living? You seem very centered on your financial status. Everyone I know who have high paying jobs or significant investments cannot allow themselves the time to post on mitsubishi forums in the middle of the afternoon, due to their responsibilities and obligations.

On the other hand, I figure if you are that wealthy you can afford to be cocky and arrogant, you can treat people like SH*** and act like its normal and get away with it. At times when I come across rich snobby people like this I hate my job because these people have someone to do everything for them, spoon feed them, etc etc....
I was brought up to treat people with respect and dignity, whether they were better off or worse than I am.....the thing that gets me about some of these wealthy people "in upper echelons of high finance" is their need to brag about their wealth and possessions.....but what the heck, I have to swallow my pride and cater to these wealthy bastards because my company is paying me to do my job.
but all in all when we die, all the wealth we have and cars we drive isnt gonna matter anymore....

and you can fix it right at home with help from a lot of other good evo owners.
