Default Honda s2k maybe?

Many of you basement regulars know my overall outlook on cars.

Any Mitsu hater comments will be ignored

That being said...i'm seriously looking into trading in my white evo for a similarly priced s2000.

Reasons (not really in order) to leave evo and go to s2k:
1 evo is too racy to just drive around town. it really doesnt let u drive it slow.
2 even though mine has ran like a champ, theres that overlooming possibility of a transfer case/front diff failure or some other sort (13k miles of KNOWN history of the car - the car has around 30k miles on it)
3 my driver abilities arent a match for the car at its limits (aka i'm too scared to push it)
4 not exactly a rewarding drive, since you're worried about being arrested
5 mitsu dealer service :thumbsdown:
6 parts wear much quicker aka clutch/brake pads etc
7 driving the s2k just around town is very rewarding, no fear of arrest
8 the shift feel/naturally aspirated nature of the car is unparalled
9 VTAK
10 honda dealer service is much more pleasant
11 parts/accesories are much cheaper for s2k
12 easy as hell to work on s2k...evo isnt rocket science though
13 resale value is higher for s2k
14 i'll be able to flog the s2k 110% all day at a track event and not worry about a damn thing
15 while durable, flogging the evo all day leaves u with funny smells and sounds

Reasons to keep evo over s2k:
1- space - i'm a big guy. big and tall. i can barely fit in the passenger side, but driver side wasnt so terrible.
2- cup holders/glove box/etc etc
3-less power/torque
4-blind spots are teh suxor in s2k
5-evo = more stable in inclement weather
6-less road noise
7-much more mod friendly

thats it for now
