I too have a daily driver so therefore my car sits in the garage most of the time preserved and in good shape. But I don't plan on selling it unless I got some crazy offer on it. When you see an Evo it's like seeing a fine *** women, first thing to mind is wow I'd like to beat that. So I treat my car like my women, everytime I get in it, I BEAT it up!!

I DD my evo 8 also. I sometimes think like "damn gota do that $1400 belt and seal job and etc" but everyday i get in the car and i drive it, it brings a smile to my face. Seriously, I drive my car, and I am proud to keep it in good running condition as soon as i can. I am proud to be rolling up in my evo 8. when the mileage hits? I will just build the engine/transmission/rusty parts more.

To really think about it. I KNOW my evo is happy to have me as an owner. Till the day he dies or till the day I die. But today and tomorrow, Im rolling in an Evo 8. And I would like to be famous for it. And when I zoom by on the street, I want those who recognizes the evo 8 to give me a thumbs up. (which many have.)

I dont have many other expensive hobbies (girls have shoes, makeup, jewelry, etc). I have my evo that I use EVERYDAY and it is extremely practical. And I dont regret driving it everyday despite of depreciation.


I live only once and I've already used up 1/3 of my life (age 30).
By 2/3 of my life, I would be satisfied to have be doing the things im doing right now.
And by age 90, I will go happy knowing ive done many things including spending time driving my evo 8 and taking care of it to my best.

Cheers.

johnny.

all of us should live with no regrets. its what makes us men. and its what makes us want a car like an evo in the first place and not an Acura TL.

I just purchased my 2nd one (2003) with 25k on the clock, lightly modded, and in awesome shape!

The first one I sold had 15k on it with $20k worth of mods...got a pretty penny for it.

I appreciate this comment. I bought this car to drive and enjoy, not to park in my garage and admire. So what if I have to wash it more often.
