Re: DD shopping. $15k,GO!

This is that story I was talking about that Kare 11 ran out lease to own, and how it actually saves money.

Re: DD shopping. $15k,GO!

Yeah, I'll vouch for the Evo, that one I had was a real hoot, no need for a DSM with one of those. Now if I could just get my GSX to drive and handle like my Evo did.

Re: DD shopping. $15k,GO!

Maybe I'm the only one that wont hop on the evo bandwagon.

When I had my evo it made for an awesome daily, don't get me wrong but I wouldn't get another one as my only daily driver. I was always wanting to do little mods here and there and it was stressful if you wanted to do something on Sunday or a weekday night. You had to worry if you'd get it done it time to go to work the next morning as it was your only car. I don't think you'd be able to leave an evo alone either.

Plus you seem to pay evo tax on parts it seems just because it is an evo. If you wanted something that got good mileage an evo isn't good for that either.

They are a great car but I wouldn't want one to be my only daily. Keep the dsm and get something good on gas mileage if you wanted to go that route or if it were me and I had to do it over I'd get a more luxury cruiser over something more tuner again.

Re: DD shopping. $15k,GO!

In the week or so of craziness I think that I've settled on a legacy GT.

Gonna drive a few in the next few days. I'm open to competitors of them though.

Re: DD shopping. $15k,GO!

Not a bad choice. I agree with Brad, I wouldn't want an Evo fora DD. But to each their own. Legacy GT would be sweet.

As much fun as my evo was for DD'in it sucked for DD duty compared to normal cars, its just the fun factor made it worth it.

No one car is perfect at all things, all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Agreed. Personally I don't think I could live with less than 4 cars. Each has specific function that the other would be dreadful at.

Re: DD shopping. $15k,GO!

If everything goes good this weekend we can definitely talk if your interested. I dont need or even want to sell the car. But id love to have no debt (loan student loans) anymore. And save up for another later on. Plus my gf deserves a ring.

Re: DD shopping. $15k,GO!

Ew, no yellow.

I'm pretty settled on a nice comfy DD, and subaru legacy GT should do the trick.
The evo's we can all agree are not normal cars, and it's almost a guarantee they have all been raced quite a bit by the time they hit 100k+ miles.

I still hope to get one, but I'd really like to finish my DSM and just have a nice normal car. It's still turbo and AWD!

Re: DD shopping. $15k,GO!

Yea the Legacy GT seems like they'd make an awesome daily. There was a nice looking wagon on mnsc if you wouldn't mind a wagon. Don't think it was a legacy but awd turbo and wagon seems kind of nice to haul bigger shit around with
