    1 - Why did you get the Evo? The wifie wanted 4 doors and AWD...and I emphasized build quality of engine and drivetrain...
    2 - What was your first car? Lol...Camaro IROC-Z with almost a 1LE, but mine had the AC with all of the 1LE options, then modded to an upgraded 350 mated to an 6-speed MT with too much stuff to list. Looking back, it has me ROFL
    3 - And how did it lead up to getting the Evo? The IROC has no ties with leading to the Evo, but it was the right car...funny enough, it was almost a Ralliart, but the dealership blew it on the final paperwork...So, she decided on the Evo.
    4 - If the Evo didn't exist today and all the others did, what car (realistically) would you own instead? The wifie drives a Bug Eye Subie, so lol, would have ended up with an STi...

    ...LMAO...how things have changed...
    '85 Ur-Quattro (under restoration), '86 951 (sold), '87 928S4 (for sale), '89 930 (under restoration), '99 Wicked Edelbrocked T/A LS-1 (sold), '01 S4 (RIP), '02 Allroad (RIP), '07 WRX STi (Up North), '95 S14 RB26 (project sold), Heartbeat of America lol, Sprint Horses, Endurance Horses, Raging Bulls, and a little 'Bird that I call Tweety...and best of all, an Evo...

    1 - Why did you get the Evo? I wanted something with 4 doors that was also a lot of fun. And also a car that had good stability to take my friends and I up to the mountains.

    2 - What was your first car? 1989 Mint green Mercedes diesel

    3 - And how did it lead up to getting the Evo? I saw Jackie Chan's Thunderbolt movie and he was kicking ass in an Evo III I believe.

    4 - If the Evo didn't exist today and all the others did, what car (realistically) would you own instead? I would either own an M3, an STI, or an A4

    2014 Evo X GSR
    1) Ever since I was in middle school, I fell in love with the Evo 8. I swore to myself that I would own an Evo one day. This was a big dream for a 13 year old kid. 4 Door, AWD, Track Monster.

    2) My first car was a 1989 Volkswagen Jetta. My family bought the car brand new. It was handed down to me and was my car from junior year in high school 2007 all the way until last December 2013 when I bought the Evo.

    3) Jetta started to break down. Engine issues, axles breaking, couldn't pass smog, etc etc. The repairs ended up getting too expensive and I needed a new car. I was originally looking into a Honda Civic or Hyundai Genesis Coupe or Subaru WRX, but miraculously, things fell into place and I was able to pick up my dream car.

    4) If the Evo didn't exist, it would probably either be a WRX or Genesis Coupe.

    1 - Why did you get the Evo?
    Ever since I rode in my friends 03 Evo 8, I told myself that I'd own an Evo one day.

    2 - What was your first car?
    1991 Honda Prelude

    3 - And how did it lead up to getting the Evo?
    After the prelude, my grandma bought me a 04 accord coupe for my high school grad present lol. Then in 2007 I was able to purchase my first car and at that time the Mazdaspeed 3 came out. I wanted to be the "different" one so I bought the speed 3 instead of the Evo 9. In 2010 I sold the speed3 and bought an 2006 S2000 which I sold in 2012 and bought my Evo X.


    4 - If the Evo didn't exist today and all the others did, what car (realistically) would you own instead?
    Probably a STI or 335i

    1 - Almost every racing game I liked had it in it, from that I had always wanted one.
    2 - 1998 Eclipse GST
    3 - Graduated from collage needing a reliable car so I purchased a EVO 8 GSR.
    4 - Lotus Elise or M3

    1 - Because it's a decent performing car with 4 doors and 5 seats with a manual transmission that doesn't make me wonder if it'll start up every morning.
    2 - Toyota Camry Solara.
    3 - It didn't. Had no connection to anything else that I had other than the fact that it was as unreliable and problematic as the BMW that followed it. Neither of those had any connection to the S2000 that followed, and the S2000 had no connection to the Evo other than the fact that I wanted something that was not the same 2 door 2 seater layout.
    4 - I dunno. I've become addicted to AWD. Probably a Golf R. Subaru STi hatchbacks are really, really nice but I'm past the whole "unreliable engine" phase for the rest of my life. Maybe a RX-8 since a rotary is something different, though those aren't the most reliable cars either.

    4 - If the Evo didn't exist today and all the others did, what car (realistically) would you own instead? well it depends if i didnt live in lake arrowhead then it would be an sc300 5 speed with a 1jz swap or a honda s2000 but now i regardless if i need awd or not i still am sticking with the evo.

    1 - Why did you get the Evo?
    Rarity, the feel of driving it, aftermarket support, mechanical part support/cheap maintenance

    2 - What was your first car?
    '91 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (still have it!)

    3 - And how did it lead up to getting the Evo?
    A buddy of mine was leaving for Oki, and sold me his immaculate condition '95 eclipse GST. From there I was hooked on the 4g63. We had always talked about Evos and WRXs when I was in high school though at the time, there were no Evos in the US. Then another buddy of mine was moving to Australia and had the Evo for sale. He was the 1st owner and it had 26K miles on it. I couldn't resist!

    4 - If the Evo didn't exist today and all the others did, what car (realistically) would you own instead?
    Honestly, either an Audi S4 or S5 or some other Audi varient. I think they are some of the best looking cars on the road right now. Hell, I might still get one in the next year or so.

    1 - Why did you get the Evo?

    I had a B5 S4 Stage 2 prior. One of the turbines went out and also needed major service. The cost of those to do those were a decent down payment so I traded it in and wanted something somewhat similar but more sporty and cheaper maintenance than the Audi so I got me a 2010 WW X

    2 - What was your first car?

    1994 Acura Integra

    3 - And how did it lead up to getting the Evo?

    My B5 Audi S4 turbine went out and needed major repairs. The cost was $5000+ which was a decent downpayment for a brand new car with warranty so I traded the Audi in

    4 - If the Evo didn't exist today and all the others did, what car (realistically) would you own instead? Probably another S4

    1. It was STi or Evo.
    2. Ford Probe.
    3. Always wanted a car with great handling/power characteristics at a relative value. With 4 doors. And AWD. And a manual.
    4. If it was right now, I'd get a new 2015 STi.

    ^ Not when it still has the EJ25 and is still prone to the same issues from ten years ago. Personally, I'd rather just get the WRX over the STI, until it gets an STI-ified version of the 2.0T.

    1 - Why did you get the Evo? I've always been a huge fan of the V (dream Evo). Then my friends older brother convinced me at the age of about 12 that a SexuallyTransmittedInfection was a better car. I went on being a Subaru guy for a while till about 2-3 years ago and started paying alot more attention to the power that Evo's had over the Sti. I loved the rumble of the Subbie but for some reason the exhaust note and sound of the turbo on the Evo had me like a teenage boy's first sight of porn lol

    2 - What was your first car? '89 Nissan 240sx Hatch RIP

    3 - How did it lead up to getting the Evo? Well this is a story in itself. December of last year, about a week before christmas, I crashed my Toyota Camry and had it taken to a family friends shop that promised to have it back before I had to return the rental my insurance had paid for (about a month's worth time). A month went by and boom magically, still no car. Had to return the rental an, AMG C300, and offered to loan me a car for a couple days while they finished up "last minute details". All of a sudden, they tried driving the car and found out the suspension was shot and needed work. The loaner they gave me was an absolute POS early '90s Saturn that overheated about 6 times a week, was dirtier than shit, and felt like Ghostrider at Knotts Berry Farm. I drove that for about 2-3 weeks before I got pissed and got into it with my mom (which was stupid to do) because her "friend" was a POS liar himself. A month and 3 weeks had gone by and still no word on the Camrizzle. So while looking on SCMitsu's site I convinced my gf to go "look" and ended up walking out with a CB '14 Evo AKA MitsuMila. Couldn't be any happier to this day.

    4 - If the Evo didn't exist today and all the others did, what car (realistically) would you own instead? Probably an STi or an M3 Sedan.

    1. After watching a movie with Jackie Chan driving around in the Evo, made me fall in love with the car. Then I got into watching rally, which was hard to do in the 90s without the internet. My friend had an older brother stationed in Japan and he would send vcr tapes of anything car related. Those tapes would get passed around like a porno mag.

    2. 89 Dodge Ram50 with a mitsu motor

    3. Been driving buckets, until I eventually saved enough money to buy a DC2. I was done with nursing school and got a good paying job, then my integra took a crap on me. I thought why not, I should buy a new car. I had 4 cars I had my sights on: Evo IX, STI, IS250, A4. First place I went to was the Mitsu Dealer, and lets just say I didn't have to go to the other dealerships.

    4. There will always be a place in my heart for hondas. The S2000 was one of my realistic dream car to own.
