Well no lie, gas mileage isn't really an issue cuz its either an evo or a truck,like an escalade or tahoe. And as for the tcase, if it goes it goes, all you can do is deal with it and fix it

 

Its not just the T case, its the tranny as well and the clutch ect ect. if it goes and you only have a bike good luck to you. I personally think buying both and selling the beater is the stupidest thing you can do. I mean it like what I would have wanted to do at the age of like 17 or 18 or something. is it really practical, no not even close

 

No lie, say I did wut ure saying, then I wouldn't even bother with an evo most likely id just get a rwd car like a supra,or 240sx or sumthing like that,that'll not be driven in the snow or rain and just at the track and sunny days.

 

All I can say is be realistic, esspecailly with what you can afford. yea you can buy a car down the road, can you afford to maintain a car like an Evo or supra? can you afford to have a $30k car that just sits for 70% of a year? can you afford to drive a car like an Evo every day without having a beater?

All I know is they are not cheap to buy, they are not cheap to maintain, they are not cheap to insure (for most) alot of people who do own evos cant afford it. they put themselves out just to own a car, then when things start getting used tey cant afford to repaire/replace/maintain things.

Just be realistic. You prob have no idea how many people have told me they are buying an evo or a supra. Im not only talking online but in person when they see me with my old car. Im telling you right now that prob close to 100% of the time in person this happens I just nod and rub it off, because everyone has dreams most people do not follow threw. Its like when I was trying to buuy the Evo, or when I was going to do a 50trim, or like when I was saying I was going to turbo a 3g back in 2002 (before tearstone), or like e saying I AM going to get a supra. Nobody belived me BUT I made them all happen but they were all realistic dreams for me and I wasnt making it a complete stretch.

Just because an Evo and AWD or a rally carIMO doesnt mean it should be held to a lower standard to a RWD supra. I you want to ruin an expensive car you drive it in snow and salt end of story. Why have an Evo for the winter and bike for the nice weather? Why not have a Evo for the nice and a beater for the winter?

 

Good luck finding an Evo for 15-16 grand. What are you thinking for real???

 

Dude I found at least 2 evos on evoM for under 16 grand, and its not that common but not impossible to find. And im not talking about an rs either, VIII gsr's
And yeah I hear a sh**load of ppl saying they're gunna buy this and that,but never do.

 

And about the affording it part, there's no problem there. Since I sold my car a few weeks ago already saved up 6 grand and still going. And so what you're saying is, its stupid to have a car like that as a dd and every1 who has one is destroying it cuz of the salt and so, especially in mass? And wuts the point of having a car like that to only take out when its nice out, that's the same thing as having a bike

 

It is not the same as having a bike. You were saying get a bike and an Evo. talk logical man- think this threw it is a completely retarded concept. Buy a bike for nice weather sell the "winter beater" then get a very expensive car to destroy in the horrible weather. I do absolutly belive that everyone who drives there cars in salt is ruining them. How many full time winter DSMs do you see these days that are nice? ZERO they are all falling apart and rotting from the ground up just ask TheEngineer his TSiAWD was so rotted that the motor mounts were rotting threw. So what I am saying why buy a nice expensive car to drive for those purposes? you know that makes no sence. LIKE I SAID get one or the other and keep the beater. Dont be a freaking retard just because you want both

 

yeah i see your point, and it takes more than a year or two to destroy it, but my gst was like that, there was sum rot on it and stuff. the only that sux with that theory is, that when i finance an evo,say i do, that i'd have to have full coverage on it, even tho it's off the road 90% of the time, which is wut i thought was straight up retarded and had to do with my gst, it's just money down the drain. idk might just buy sumthin' and do it up, as a track car, or just get an evo and keep it stock and garaged and saved for nice weekends
and about the logic thing, like 30 sec after writing it i noticed how retarded it was,lmao

 

the bolded sentance is what brings us back to paying for the car and maintanence. if your gonna complain bout a few hundred dollars or insurence for a car you really should just drive a cheaper car or suck it up lol
