Hi to all
I have also been thinking of selling my beautiful Evo Ix Mr
With 48k & 340hp and just basic bolt-ons and a tune, has never seen the drag strip or a track for that matter just some spirited driving at night that's all the fun she has seen.
I currently own a 98 Jeep wrangler, Evo, and 2010 leased Nissan Altima Hybrid which I don't consider owner but paying the bills for it (wife's car) =o)
I live in Brooklyn, NY as you know not the best roads around. track? Well there's really no tracks around here but English town in NJ that has a golf kart course. I say golf course because it's so small. I know this because of the videos on YouTube never really visited the track. I don't do drag unless I have money to spend for fixes. The course around my area would just be plain to far to travel unless I take a weekend get away. This is one main reason I want to sell the car. I have no use for it and don't use it for its potential cant even use it on the snow unless I want to shovel snow with the front bumper or better yet break the lip like I already did. Enough excuses! Lol
Now my plan: I would like to purchase a 2012 or 13 Ford Raptor to take its place so I don't have to deal with the pot holes or anything in that matter. Has enough power to keep stock and waist as much fuel as the Evo "when the gas peddal is on the floor! Lol" but instead of having 3 cars which I won't need anymore I can just get rid of the hybrid and the Evo and keep the jeep and the ford. And just keep the payment for the ford raptor until its completely paid for and keep the truck. It also has great value so if I plan on selling I can get rid of it. I also have/will have 2 kids. So I need the space. I'm not an SUV person so that's not going to work either for those who are thinking "why don't he buy a SUV"
Ok now you guys can speak. Any advise or reasons why not to sell my Evo would be greatly appreciated. Thank for reading

 

Sell the car. Good luck.

 

FML.... Sorry posted this on evoX section. Grrr

 

I'll move it for you lol.

The Ford SVT Raptor is awesome and you should do it

 

Kinda makes sense for you, except I don't know how practical driving around a raptor is in the city. You talked about not using the evo's potential where you live... understand that. But the Raptor will be just as much out of its environment. Its got terrible turning circle, bigger blind spots, huge to park. I live in a po-dunk town and I think raptors are awsome, but Ive never lived in the big city. So You know how well it would work better than me. Just some thoughts. Good luck either way!I bet your kids would have more fun in the evo.
