always take care of my cars  part of me wants to keep it, and improve on it, nice recaro interior, more power and another reason being, this has been most reliable car ive ever owned in my 6 years of driving, havent had a single problem with it, but my hearts always wanted an evo, and would like to own one before time comes where i move out and can no longer afford one
