People arent happy mostly because they dont want to have to deal with him on the road

I don't see why so many people think that just because you have a "somewhat fast" car you are inclined to do something stupid. More than often I see the riced out cars and others trying to show off and drive irresponsibly (eventually crashing). I mean anyone can drive like an idiot and try to show off (doesn't matter what car you have).

My bro is (99%) going to get a 2006 Wrx Tr tomorrow. Congrats to him (following in his brothers footsteps ). Don't worry if he gets any tickets or does anything stupid his car will be taken away. I told him to take it easy and use his brain. He drives my car all the time (mine is Stage 2 Wrx) so he knows them pretty well.

So yeah, I love working and the paychecks.
well im working 55 - 70 hours a week 5 12 hour days a week... so 10 hours straight doesnt sound that bad for $20 an hour?

if you're going to get the evo, i would suggest taking it to an empty parking lot and "get to know the car", how the turbo works on it, what the AWD is like. maybe even ask your parents if you can get some professional driving lessons, just one lesson with a pro can make you a MUCH better driver.
the evo is a good car, treat it good and it'll treat you good

and don't do too many AWD launches, just because its AWD doesn't mean its meant for 6k RPM launches itll break eventually
