Ya I'm sure there are faster mustangs then that one. There's always a bigger fish in the sea! Either way I still love the car, congrats on the buy again!

When I sold my integra I got light headed and almost passed out and felt like crap the rest of the night. I saved up through all of high school to get something nice but I drove it two years and sold it for exactly what I paid for it so it didn't hurt to much.

I could never part with my CRX. I'd probably get all emo and depressed if I did and go listen to some Hawthorne Heights

Any plans for the Evo other than pay it off? Maybe get it repo'd

dam this thread really took off.

in response to evo's launching and bogging.. a lot of people have problems with launching them. they think you can dump the clutch in an awd vehicle. definately not the case. a 'good' launch on a stock clutch will ruin it after about the 3rd time. the clutch feels nice in the car (compared to the civic) but there is not as much pressure, that is a common thing for them.

I like the looks of the evo, but i can't decide if i like the wing or not. i want to pull it off but i can't see doing that and having holes in the trunk.. oh wait, yes i can

as for my job, i am still in college. i am a mechanical engineering student. i didn't make a lot of money, but i saved for quite a while. i worked for 12.5/hr over the summer and made about 8k. that along with another 2k i had previously saved up was a very nice down payment on the car.

my new job will be at 15.5/hr for a semester long and then another one before i finish college. just a little money management on my part and i can have the car paid off. i still live at home and i only have to pay ins., cell phone bill, and apt. rent.

so, as long as i work i will be ok with the payments.

plans for the car: i have a turbo timer that my gf bought me.
i will start modding it when i continue to save up money. just like i did with the civic.



the civic was a great car, but this is a different experience. i liked going in straight lines, but when you hammer the gas through a corner and the car goes.. its hard to compare the two, and i don't want to.. they each had their place and i don't regret either one.

sad to see the coupe go.

but the evo looks like sa nice one. It's funny how you brought up the wing, me and bambi aka bambooseven had a discussion about this a while ago. I digs the evo wingless, bambi loves the wing, then we saw one wingless with a cf trunk, and he agreed that it looked good, but still liked the wing, so what am I saying? buy a cf trunk and go wingless :P

ya, i will have to feel it out... since i am not made of money and i have to work my *** off a lot.. it might be a while before i buy something that expensive. they put 3m tape on the wing so it is a little difficult to remove.


on a previous note about the mustangs
i would love to ride in a turbo mustangs
