As for my horrible rates... I do have a reckless opp. from running from the law. But Im not sure if that is on my record anymore. With those rates Im kinda scared to ask.

Actually, off the top of my head, New Jersey, New York and Florida have pretty bad rates. I know that New Jersey's rules and regulations regarding insurance are pretty strict so there aren't many insurance carriers that do business there, plus Florida has a ton of fraud, so usually when we sell policies there, the insurance companies require that we get copies of the insured's driver license and registration prior to selling the policy, then they have to get the car inspected at one of their facilities within a week.

defensive driving wont help when a deer jumps out in front of you on the way to work at 6am. Ive had this car for less than 6 months and I already have to buy a new headlight. Luckily I just sold my jdm integra. Murfy's Law!!!

5'5" is perfect for 5sp evo. The seat , shifter, clutch ,brake, gas pedal feel great. Try seating in a 5sp. 5.0 mustang , u will notice the evo are a lot better .

thats alot of money for insurance lol guezz. are you saying you make 500 total a week. thing i dont see people saying is maintenance cost of the evo. example if you had to get anew clutch could cost 1000+ for the clutch then lke 550 for install so you need to make sure you are prepared for that. You dont have to mod the car of course but just dont forget regular issues more so since its a preformace car.

Excellent points all around, Rockman. The first time the car needs a major repair, and it will given the working endowment, might as well write it off. There's not enough money coming in to fix and maintain it. OP, you cannot afford this car. Stay in school, get a better job, and take care of your driving record. For now, buy something reasonable and spend your time learning the art of high-performance driving. The slower the car, the more you can practice. Good luck.

im trying to find one this month also and have had one before about two years ago, but anyways the seat slides pretty far. the one thing i dont like about the seats is the things u have to turn to make the seat tilt, i wish they just had the levers.
