I didnt bother putting my Mustang away. I still drive it sometimes on decent dry days.
My grandmother said I could keep it in her garage for the winter but Id really rather drive it when I can.

Next year Ill put it away because Im getting bodywork done and getting the whole car repainted so I dont want salt on it.

My Elantra is the daily driver and it could really use a good cleaning but its too damn cold. I washed it last Sunday and it was actually freezing while still at the car wash. The interior is getting pretty dirty.

Only person I know locally with a BBY Evo is EJ...not the fastest Evo but very well setup for road racing.

yeah turning radius on an evo is def superior to that of the sti...at least thats how it felt when riding in buschurevo8's vs my STi....exit 9 north on ramp as testing grounds... the sti has no lateral grip and wants to step out the rear end instantly.

No doubt about it...I drove an 07 STI Limited before I bought my IX MR SE just to be sure I wanted a second Evo instead of trying something different and the STI chasis just isn't as aggressive. Granted the Limited was more comfy and was actually tolerable on uneven road surfaces. The fact that it was soft in turns and the steering wasn't as responsive was a deterrent to me. I did like the Satin white with the low-key aero package though. I am just an Evo guy all things given.
