So I know that theres a thread like this about the Evo guys getting funny comments from people about their cars and if they upgraded but stock and all that... but how about all you RA guys? Any interesting stories?

For me I guess a few days ago when picking up my little bro and all his friends were like pop the hood! The car was like surrounded I couldn't help but have a little grin I know its no Evo but come on a little attention is nice

 

Whenever my wife drives my car and it is clean, she complains that teenagers always stop next to her and ask her "what kind of mitsubishi car is that it looks sweet! She says "its my husbands station wagon and I hate it, what looks nice about a station wagon?" I always laugh at her and ask her if she hates it then why not drive her car (98 Olds Cutlass) and she says because your car drives fast! I think she enjoys the attention in my station wagon than in her cutlass!

 

Back when my ralliart was on the road, i Lined up with some acura RSX at a red light. he says "hey man thats a nice car, u want to race"

My response: "nah i don't waste my gas on honda's. Move along"

when i said move along, i did a little hand motion, as to "shoo" him away.

You should have saw the look on his face. Looked like somebody took his ***** away.

 

LOL that is awesome =]

i think the most common comment i get is.... "is your car lowered?" i dont know something about the suspension makes it look lowered to people

 

come on guys noone else has any stories they'd like to share?

 

some guy said: hey what kinda spoiler is that in ur honda?? i want to get one for mine too. (my evo spoiler)

when i heard that, i swear i almost got out of my car and beat the crap out of him with my flip flops

 

Alright I'll give you another.

I went to Auto zone a while ago. For something stupid im sure. well im in a rush.... I come back out of the store adn head towards my car and there is like 3 kids around it. they say hey man thats a nice car whats done to it. I say Want to find out? or something.. I was not interested and was in a rush.. The kid said yea sure i got an SRT-4 I'll line up with you.

I say aww thats cute, my mom used to have a neon. Until she traded it in on a PT cruiser.

 

I don't like the SRT4s either but have to admit they are really fast for the price they can be gotten for.

 

i see soo many srt4s running around thinking they can outrun alot of us... i would love to show them up but im not turbo... yet....

 

meh....nothing too funny. Just people saying "Nice Evo", and me telling them it's not an Evo.....the engine in this one is bigger. You get a lot of WTF? type looks with that answer.

Aggravating story: trying to buy parts from retards at AutozonepepboysNAPA that constantly try to sell you Evo parts, even though I specifically say "NO EVO".
i.e. incorrectly gapped spark plugs.

 

The part-tards usually try to sell me 4G94 parts. The worst is when I go in for a serp belt. I state "I need **** size" they ask "what car?" me: "Doesn't matter, I need **** size, car has underdriven pulley" them "uhh, we can't look it up without knowing the car"

 

Got that same answer the other day, seems auto parts shop can't find items any other way they search by car make or having the exact part #

I tought I was speaking japanese when I asked for a 1.8m X 6 can belt, and I've been to 2 places 'cos I tought first place where morrons to not understand what I was asking for!

 

Ok, dumb question..... I know the old lancers are fwd, are the new ones awd or fwd still. lol

 

Solution: Find the oldest guy that works there, tell him the part # you need or size. He may actually just go back and look at the belts to get you the right size / part number!
All that without using the computer!!

Can you tell that I found my "old skool dude" at my parts store?

 

the GTS, DE..etc. lancers are still FWD but the new Ralliarts are AWD
