IMHO there isn't anything more beautiful than a 92-95 hatchback. You can pick that up for $2000 and have $10,000 left for the fun bits. [sm=drooldude.gif]

Don't sell the Evo, it is prolly a lot more fun to drive. Get an EG civic (92-95). These cars are good because you could pretty much do anything you want to them without worrying about emissions. If you get a 99-00, your options may be limited do to emisions. Although they do look pretty good. And welcome.

Want to really have fun with the evo and keep it reliable? Bigger rear sway bar, brake pads, clutch, and save the rest for tires. Start hitting every single track day you can and learn from the better drivers and you will never regret it.
