Sold my Evo for an MS3 :) lol

[Smokehouse]

Very interesting story...

Personally...even though the EVO tends to beat on it's drivers, I'd have a hard time letting go of such a rare and hard-to-find-in-good-condition car.

I got the same response from my buddies when I traded my GTO on a new MS3...it just didn't suit my purpose anymore as I needed a 4-door for my kid's car seat.

Sometimes you actually have to use a car for more than street racing...I know, it's a C-R-A-Z-Y concept but it is true at times.

Congrats from one new MS3 owner to another...

Wow you made the worst mistake of your life. i love mine but i came from a spec v. s*** i might be trading mine in for an Evo.Wrong move guy but Goodluck.

Don't be a drama queen. Not everyone wants only performance in a car. If we had the Evo wagon here, I would've got one instead, but some people like myself need a wagon/hatch. And for someone who works with dogs, this car makes much more sense than an Evo. Hell, I almost got a regular 3 hatch or a Fit.

Thanks. It wasn't easy letting it go.... i almost reconsidered MANY times... but as soon as I got the MS3 and saw my dogs get into it for the first time I knew I made the right decision.

I hate the Evo wagon beyond description.... BUT under these circumstances I would of gotten one too... HAHAHA

Indeed. I bought the MS3 because I'm hurtling towards 30 and have never owned/experienced a performance car outside of video games, plus my wife and I will most likely be having kids very soon. It just makes more sense to have the room and the practicality for ME.

If I were a weekend tracker and had millions, I'd own 20 Evos.

For most of us on the board, we have to consider the liveability and versatility of a car right along with performance. You really can't beat what you get with the MS3

Which gen? I'm not feeling the X in either sedan or hatch, but I'd rock an Evo IX wagon.

Where in Maryland are you? Weather has been nice, should do a meet. And I'm a dog person, so bring your little ones.

 

[GoneBabyGone]

Welcome evoangel! You made a good choice and your dogs will definitely appreciate this car more.

What part of MD?

Welcome to the forum, Sounds like you already love your MS3.

How many people on the evo forums thinking your crazy for switching to a MS3?

 

[evoangel429625]

^HA You have no idea.... I received alot of hate mail and ARE YOU CRAZY?!?! mail..... LOL

 

[Snyeed]

HAHA yea I figured, Your EVO was super clean! any plans for the MS3?

the MS3 carpet is really hard to clean especially pet hair just be careful.

Carpet as in the floor? Hair comes off SO easily off the seats I couldn't believe it!! I actually had to pull the hair out with tweezers in the Evo... LOL

Like I said I say to myself it's going to stay stock power wise..... but I'm being threatened to be disowned from my Evo friends if I don't mod it LOL Tint, HID's and Coilovers are first.... Anything after that will be impulse lol

 

[Snyeed]

I find that when I vacuum the carpet I just cant seem to get them as clean as I want, sounds like the EVO carpet is just as bad!

The parts on your EVO were quality, I cant wait to see what you do with the speed.

i have a pitbull and i literally cover everything in my trunk and almost all of the back seat with seats when he's getting in.

but his hair is pretty hard to get out when it really gets in to the carpet. have to bust out the tweezers as well

 

[paylew]

Another girl with CWP ftmfw! You've had an evo, you KNOW the mod bug will bite sooner or later.

 

[evoangel429625]

UGH.... I know.... I'm wearing bug spray so it should keep the bug at bay My Evo was stock for a week.... lol

 

[paylew]

lol, mine lasted until one of the local guys did a part out and I was on it like white on rice!

yeah i have a husky and her hair is every where in my spec v, and i was debating between the evo 9 and the ms3, and the evo 9 would put me in the same situation as im in now other than being faster, so im definitely going ms3 now cause of similar reasons plus some more. gl with the car
