Lesser of two evils

Everyday use, baby. Why spend 40g's on anything and let it sit?

Get serious here - to blow that kind of money on anything and then not use it to its potential is just plain dumb.

You asked if you'd buy an Evo or an STI, all things considered. At the end of the day, they are still roughly the same price, with roughly the same performance, with roughly similar features, just different looking.

Want a daily driver that you can enjoy and not worry too much about? Spend 1/10th of the cost of an STI/EVO and pickup RuggedMan's swapped impreza.

True! That impreza is the perfect car. You dont have to worry about anything. You could stuff it into a ditch, and pull it out again and continue having fun. No worries. I rode around the neighborhood with it last night and the car sounds so mean the kids were all scared when it drove by.

That car means business. I hate that i dont have 4 grand i want to part with right now :-(

And regarding my blue WRX i cant count how many times people have told me i'm nuts for auto-x'ing it and driving it year round. That's why you buy a car isn't it? There's two types of people in the world that i dont understand. 1) People that dont drive sweet cars and just let them sit. 2) People that have millions of dollars saved and dont do anything with it.

And I would never buy tuna.

 
The Sultan of Brunei says that your statement is illogical.

Well, until the Sultan logs on to STM and says otherwise, my statement stands.

And even then... it's stupid to spend money on something and then not use it. It's like buying a home theater system and then working 80 hrs/wk to afford it.

Illogical? That's what buying an expensive car, just to put it into a garage is.

 
hey if I only want to use a nice car on weekends and a beater for daily driving is that wrong? If I spend that much money on a car I want to keep it around for the rest of my life. Granted I would beat on it now and then and put those punk ass kids and their neons in their place but it would be in moderation.

 
To each their own.

I just laugh out loud when I see an amazing sports car cruising at 60 mph on the pike and find out some business dude is driving it.

It's like installing NOS and never pushing the damn button.

If you "beat on it now and then" then my statement does not apply to you - because you use the car like the beast it is. I said "to blow that kind of money on anything and then not use it to its potential is just plain dumb" - but you say you do. Hence, you're not what I consider "dumb".

 
tuna? :icon_scratch:

Mitsu makes tuna too.

Hence i refer to the 3 diamond products as tuna cans, or more simply tuna.

hah! that's my point exactly. diff between the 2 is less about absolute performance, but MUCH more daily livability and long-term expectations that the thing will continue working once you've used up the payment book.

OK so evo x has a few more bells n whistles that let unskilled drivers get away with looking like Tommi Makinen, but will those components still be functional after 50k miles?

ask DSM drivers about how great Mitsu gearboxes and xfer cases hold up long term.

thanks, but I have no interest in paying $40k to be a Mitsu dual-clutch-gearbox and magic-diffs guinea pig.

 
The reliability wouldn't worry me if I was just gonna baby it and drive it only on nice days. Hell, even a GM can stand up to that.

If I owned a mitsu it'd be dead in a week.

What was that "BAM" that came from underneath.
