this is a good topic. i have my regrets but i definately have my positives.

bad: $500 month payment/ $135 month insurance/ $130-150 month gas ($4 gallon 110 when im in a good mood! ha). a built up little honda costing 10k total and running 12's (on slicks! lol) sounds pretty fun also, once you get traction. i don't like having a payment on a car, i enjoyed having owning all my previous cars since they were paid off and i had A LOT more money to mod.

good: IT'S A ****ING RALLY BRED MONSTER....EVO!!! this cars heritage comes from hard core rally dirt/mud/snow/etc. racing! damn thing had to be "economized" for the streets and local sales.4wd 271 factory low 13's stock. get looks everywhere i go (even when my WW rs is covered in durt and salt). i've spent about 1700 on all my mods. quicker than most cars on the streets.

just my .02

i regret it once a month... when the bills come in. but heck i'm happy once that time of the month passes by. i def overpaid for mine cuz of interest rate. and i'm 24 yrs. old and chose to by a used evo instead of moving out... i often find myself asking myself..."dude, what the hell were u thinking?" lol. oh well i love the damn car.

I regret not buying one sooner.

I also regret I'm infected with the mod virus as 300+awhp doesn't even feel that fast to me anymore.

ok well... hmm... regrets... none... hmmm... but i see many people here have regrets... mainly complaints about clutches going... stop launching the car everyday problem solved... still no regrets it was my dream car and i got it... and now all i'm doing is making it run nice and look sexy for the summer... everyone you spent between 28-38 grand on this car... so enjoy it... no regrets now... when you regret something go outside turn the motor on and listen to it... that makes all my troubles go away...
