Let me give you all some observations after having this guy for over a month.

a) I've decided the Evo is a "HE" and will be addressed as such.
b) Talon has always been a lady
c) the SuperSport mode scares the H*LL out of me
d) Guys in Suburu's always give me the thumbs up
e) Lancer lads always ask "is that...is that...and I just nod like I'm the coolest thing"
f) My wife actually loves it (especially when I open the doors and help her in and out)

Overall, it's pretty Spartan for a car worth 65K, but I love it nevertheless.
Can't wait for the selective modding in a few years.
