    but honestly, "forever" is a strong word, i can bet anything that the AVERAGE evo owner will trade in their car 3,4,5,6 years down the line whether it be that they are past that stage and want something more business/social friendly, or they want to upgrade to a new model. i mean this doesn't apply to everyone of course, but imo, it's reality. despite this, it doesn't mean you shouldn't still take care of your vehicle of course.

    not sure about any one else, but personally, engine breaking kills my ears. feels like i'm killing my car, which is basically killing something that i care very much about. thus far there hasn't been a situation where i couldn't rely on my brake pads alone, imo engine breaking is never considered a necessity.

    Brush up on your mechanic skills and perform the simpler maintenance your self. 1. Saves money. 2. This will keep you more in touch with your whip so you know whats going on with it and maybe notice leaks or sounds.

    About parts, don't use cheap quality parts, you'll just have to replace them with better parts sooner. You'll know the cheap brands if you do your homework. I don't want to offend anyone, but megan and injen brand parts will never find their way onto my evo. Maybe if I rolled in a 99 corolla... but I digress.

    I never beat my car like it stole something.... 24/7. But I have been having issues with items that I never messed with or added any stess to. A car is a car... if your lucky you will have a car that doesnt call for must to be fixed once it gets old. Until then............... beat it like you stole it 24/7.
    Now that is how you drive.. from now on.. I want you to drive like that..... -Bad Boys I,II,III,ect...<br />

    they beat me to it, if u want it to last forever park it and let it sit
    fuck evo&#039;s

    Even if you let it sit, all the rubber parts will harden, internals will rust, etc etc. A car is meant to be driven, so drive it and do scheduled maintenance. =)

    lol. I remembered this thread but forgot how old it was. That means I am:
    1. On this forum too much
    and
    2. Have been on this forum too long (but not as long as a lot of people).
