it cus there car will shut off if they dont rev it high lol i get it all the time with my lancer

 

Engrish?

 

i) Comment my girlfriend got:
"Hey I saw you over the weekend at Costco. Your BF drives an evo?"

ii)
J: "Nice car, does it have a turbo?"
Me: "Yeah"
J: "Does it make that pssssh sound?"

iii) "What?? Lancers have all wheel drive?!!?!?"

I debadged my car now
Most people either think it's a regular lancer or an evo-
If they think it's a regular lancer, I zoom by them and they think it's an evo
So either way they all end up thinking it's an evo

 

i got this the other day.

" i didnt know that Mitsubishi made the Scion TC"

 

I got Evo'ed twice last week within like 2 days... really thinking about getting a personalized plate that says NOT EVO.

You take now!

I used to go to this chinese restaurant all the time and I didn't know what he was saying. He never once tried to speak chinese to me even though we're both chinese. This one phrase he would say to me when I left came out completely butchered and I thought he was saying "DIE NOW!" (because he had a really abrupt way of saying things).

So I spent like 3 months eating my take out in fear until I realized he was saying "Bye now"...

 

i was thinking of buying a custom license plate saying "NOT EVO" but it just gonna attract alot of police attention which I don't need especially with my cat gone bye bye!!

 

LMAO!!!! Dude I was thinking the same thing but i'm not gonna do it cuz it's going to attract too much attention to cops. its bad enough my is exhaust is a bit loud.

 

when i got stopped. The police officer said "nice car this is the direct competitor to the WRX 265 right" me: [in shock] 'yeaah.' then he gives me my ticket and I'm off.

 

I was actually pulled over when a police officer recognized my personalized plate. He even told me that he was going to let me off but he remembered me.

 

Yeah that is a huge downside to personalized plates. Fun and easy for you to remember, but the same goes for other people who may want to cause you or your car harm.

All I get is "That's a nice car" "that car looks like is fast" and the ever so popular "Is that an Evo"

When I went to the track a while back I actually raced a GTS and everyone thought we had the same car until I ran a 14.3 and he ran a 15.1 (My car is stock).

 

I think this car is really starting to get respect around town. I have been seeing more and more RA's on the road. The best part is that a few aftermarket companies have been beefing up their project RA's. Last month I went to the dealership to get my recalls done and I asked the sales rep "Hey where are all the RA's he said: There all gone we sold them" I was like wow who ever said their is not enough RA's on the road.

I mean really even by just reading this thread alone gives me the chills. I think we have the best looking car out of the sports sedan market. I get looked at almost everytime a person walks by or even drives by THESE GUYS NEED TO STOP LOOKING at my girl. lol

I LOVE MY 09 RA.

 

So I'm in the driveway yesterday, swapping out my stocker wheels for my winter setup (pics to come later)...and I see this two tone bronze/white ricey looking lexus (2000-ish ES) drive up and down my street, three times.

They pull up to the end of my driveway, there's three 19ish year old kids in the Lexus, and the kid in the passenger seat shouts "Hey you wanna race that thing?!" My dad who was in the garage busted out in laughter, and I replied "I'll only race on a track man." Kid goes, "I've got the twins!"

me: "Twins?"
kid: "VR-4"
m: "Ah, yeah. Nice car." - I start turning around to get back to putting my wheels on
k: "That's an Evo right?"
m: *facepalm* "No, it's a Ralliart. Not Evo class but has awd/turbo too"
k: "You putting those wheels on?" Points to my winter wheels.
m: "Yep."
k: "Nice wheels man, sweet ride."
m: "Thanks." and we bade farewell and they drove off.

Highshoolers. Chaldeans. Bad combination. The kid talked with this condescending attitude, as if he was implying I was a pansy for not street racing him. Hence my one word answers, heh. Sigh, Chaldean ricers.

 

What's funny is the comments that actually don't get made. I was getting gas yesterday and I had a couple guys peaking around the pumps to check out my car. When I was done and fired it up (I have UR catback) the same guys almost broke their necks to see where that sweet sound was coming from. As I was driving away you could almost see drool dripping off their chins. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

 

i received a few comments lately.

1st. hey is that a evo 9. im thinking to myself " u idiot"
2nd. i get alot is that an evo?
3rd. i had a father and son admire my car at the wawa. they were asking me tons of questions about the car. (i guess to test my knowledge cuz im a girl) but they were shocked i knew my ****. the one guy says " oh i see u got a manual" i said no its an automatic. then they say " u sure?' i go " yup im sure u can check"
