I park away from everyone, despite the distance, and somehow still end up finding dings from inconsiderate aholes.

My friends think I am in love with my car, and I have no problem with it haha.

In the harsh central NY winters, the car takes a beating, but I let her warm up nice and long and take it easy on her. I cannot wait to get it detailed in the spring. It will be my treat for being good to me since I have had it and for the future.

 

Im going to clean out our 3rd garage space which we would use like a shed and park my evo in there when I get it...and Ill have to manually open and close everytime. Dont want to park it outside during winter in Wisconsin.

 

<grin> That's a lot of washing. Have you looked into ONR, or a QD procedure that'll allow you to maintain the finish without a full wash?

 

haha good show. She also treats him the same way, is that similar to you?

 

When it comes to my evo, im pretty **** with just about everything.

Try to enforce the no food/ no drink policy, but absolutley always enforce NO SMOKING IN MY CAR!!

My friend needed a ride from work one day and reeked of a certain smoke smell and i practically kicked him out. But, i wasn't gonna be that jerk, just decided to drive all the way home all 4 windows down and sun roof opened, in 10 degree weather...no joke

Try to wash her as much as possible and detail on free time.

I am the guy that parks miles away to avoid door dings and also almost always park on the end of a parking lot row or those little island things (the landscape islands with trees and bushes) as far over as i can to avoid the possibility of a door ding.

got 60k service done at 60 k and change oil 2.8k miles to 3 with mobil 1 full synthetic.

Sadly its my dd and have to drive in rain and snow sometimes, also don't have a garage to tuck her into at night

No one drives my car unless i completely trust them. The first day i got my evo, my dad decided he wanted to "try her out". lets just say he had never driven and AWD or turboed car before. Almost went right into a ditch. needless to say that was the last person driving my ride.

I know im pretty ridiculous about things but take pride in my car. Literally the evo is my dream car and i have to take care of it. Sometimes i go way overboard, any odd noise i hear i imediatly panic and post to see what it is. usual answer is its an evo engine....its gonna make noise lol

Love me some EVO!

 

lol x2 about almost everything you said solley

 

Maintenance: I get it washed professionally once a week. Twice a week i clean any immediate yucky stuff on it and i clean the wheels rims 2x a week also. No eating or anything of the sort in the Evo. =)

Driving: I'm nice to her all day every day but i make sure i jump on it and let her go crazy a couple times a week...unless provoked. Then it's a few more times a week.

 

I drive my IX hard always getting on boost. I smoke in my car but no food or drinks are allowed. Mechanically it's a different story, it's very well maintained. Change the motor oil every 2k miles, clean the air filter every 25k miles, change all the drivetrain fluids every 15k miles. I do all the maintanance stuff before they need to be done, I like to make sure she is fresh and ready to rumble

 

I beat the **** out of it I park wherever I can get a close spot, I avoid pot holes change the fluids too often and retune way more than needed.

 

Friday is wax day I baby my evo

 

my evo is not in perfect shape to begin with so im not too picky with it but i try to park in end spots and keep a reg waxing on it. but i did go like 2 months without washing it recently man was it dirty.

 

I park far from society, change oil every 2.9k with amsoil. Keep her clean inside and out, absolutely no smoking of cigarettes, food and drinks im cool with just dont make a mess.
I always let her warm up properly idc if im late.. I also let the fuel pump go for a secs before crank. Ohhh and tuck her inside for the night, then take a quick glance at her to remind myself how good looking an evo is.

 

I keep my car parked back at home while i walk 2mile round trip in the cold at school. thats love haha

 

Haha that is my exact mentality for this car. I don't even own one yet but I'm head over heels in love with it lol... I'm kind of scared now about the other drivers in my car, I promised a couple people who don't even drive a stick.... Maybe I should rethink that haha can't be too careful right?

 

I used to go to unm I just graduated from cnm in automotive technology, and I treat me evo better than I treat myself. Turbo timer since the car had 7 miles on it, royal purple oil changes every 2500 miles, I could go on and on..
