I had to add springs, struts, swaybars, under braces, CAI, and 17in wheels... it now handles like a go-cart... but it still is slow.

when i first bought my evo i drove it for a week and the fuel pump cut out on me. took it to the dealership and they wouldnt even touch it. found out it was a walbro fuel pump. my extended warranty would even pay for it. so the car sat at the dealership for a month. then couple months after i fixed the car. my clutch went out. and it sat for 6months due to money issues. so yeah i miss driving my car.

I used to drive a Mazda 3. It was pretty nippy, very well finished, never broke down, was reasonably economical, didn't have a turning circle the size of Jupiter, was easy to maintain and was pretty discreet. I also often thought of taking it out for a late night/ early morning blast, but never did.


None of the above applies to the Evo.

It has never gotten me laid. 90% of people who have sat in it when I've driven it hard prefer to take a taxi in future. All of the remaining 10% are men.

The only heads it turns are of spotty teenagers with bad moustaches.

My neighbours all hate me because the exhaust sets off their crappy car alarms.

Most people say I look like I'm trying way too hard to impress with that stupid big wing and should get a "proper" car with some snob-appeal like a BMW.




And I don't care about any of that.

If I don't drive it for a few days, my heart aches. I keep looking for reasons to drive somewhere. The urge to take it out in the dead of night, when there is no traffic, is overwhelming.

Driving it makes me happy, the end.
