Can't help but think that it is time to get rid of the evo as a winter car for something a bit less sporty and more utility friendly...

Sounds like you're maturing. Next step is a lancer sportback. Base model, with crank windows and hubcaps.

I am not getting old- I can't even afford my midlife crisis porsche yet!



I think it is more of a desire to have a nicer interior with heated seats, better than 10mpg, and a non-heavy clutch now that covid is 'over' here and traffic is back to learning to drive in the snow again.

This better be my last kitchen fridge.
Is it cold enough in your garage for milk to keep?

It's been snowing here in CT for days... I'm taking ground school remotely so at least I'm not flying. I managed to dig her car out at least during my lunch break earlier. We have access to 1/5 vehicles that live here... It's snowing again. Feels like the 90s having real snow in the actual winter and not just October LOL
