Hi all. Been feeling depressed about my evo6. Been scraping money together to get things fixed. New tyres. Trackrods. Discs.pads. so haven't been able to drive it.also bad weather. Have been thinking to myself is it worth it.? Have 2nd car for work so no problem on that front. Finally got things sorted. So went out in my evo6 to do the shopping, all of a sudden put my foot halfway down and car took off like a rocket and a huge smile came to my face and started laughing! Came home feeling like a new person! So my conclusion is it is worth it if it can make me feel happy.
Does anyone feel the same

I bought an evo 4 in January lost count how many times its in been in the garage trying to make it pristine... just got through all of that and now starting on the upgrades...
My conclusion the money would have been spent on the wife anyway so this is my toy that make me smile evey time I put the foot down :))))

Mines been in the garage over a year whilst I build it. I hate the fucking thing but it'll be worth it in the end
