Coming from my 500whp 2003 Cobra and my 400whp show/race ready S14, I wanted something that was quick, fun to drive, turbocharged, decent mileage, and great handling that I could live with and drive every day. Something that could pretty much satisfy every want and need in a car. With a budget of 50k, I "settled" for a low mileage 2003 Lancer Evolution and put the rest in the stock market.
In May I will have owned this car 3 years, which is longer than I've owned any daily driver. Its been a completely satisfying ownership experience
