stage 15

 

things from memory....

kid at gas station runs up and says "you have the baddest ****in car in town"...he was driving a minivan civic si.

gangsta black guy in caprice wonders "how'd you keep up with me." and those lights are bright.

"did you buy it like this?"

"is it as fast as it was in that movie?"

 

I work as an auto technician so most of the other guys in the shop knew what my car was, but one of the parts guys went to look at it, and he was asking me some questions,

"What kind of horsepower and torque?"
"276 hp and 280-something torque"
"Really? What kind of 1/4 mile times?"
"I think Road and Track ran a 13.6 or so"
"Wow, mid 13's on a stock front wheel drive car?"
"... It's not front wheel drive..."

Of course, this was the same guy who thought the new Pontac GTO was also front wheel drive, so...

The first time my mom rode in my car, I let it warm up, then gave it about half throttle in third gear (about 3k-5k rpm), and she almost immediately told me to slow down.

 

Yeah I took my buddy who's in the Air Force for a little road circle near my house. Took a nice corner going fast and he was saying "Now watch this corner, it's tight. (louder) This corner's tight...(louder still) TIGHT. (Yelling) TIIIIIIGHT!!!!" as we hug the corner like there's no tomorrow.

When he got out of the car, the "oh my god bar" above his head was dripping with sweat. That made me laugh.

 

Mom: "I think you have a nice car but the exhaust is too loud and you drive it too fast."
Me: "Then it's perfect. Thank you."

 

A few months after I got my evo i was at a family b-day party and my new ride was a hot topic of conversation. My cousin, who's a cop finally shows up at the party and asked me if he could check out my new car and go for a ride. We cruised around the block and I managed a nice little taste of boost from 2nd into 3rd. As soon as we park we wips out his wallet and proceeds to fill out two F.O.P. cards and shakes his head and says i hope they help.....

 

2000-ish Honda Civic with a 2000-ish MUSTANG FRONT CLIP! Not to hate but, I just dont understand.
RAW

 

whats an F.O.P. card?

some guy at a gas station got out of his car and started recording mine lol.

my mom told me her C240 was a bit slower than her lexus sc400 so i let her drive my car. she went about 20 feet and said its too fast and uturned.

 

I pulled in the gas station with my 05 RS. As I'm pumping this car full of 4 guys pulls in right next to my car slows down and just circles my car very slowly, every guy in the car was speechless it seemed noone said anything they just stared at my car with there mouths wide open then took off. It was odd. What I was impressed by is I have no wing and my car still caught there attention. Another story is an older guy was amazed with the wing on my old evo and he wanted to take a bunch of pictures of it because he wanted to make airplane parts out of the same carbon fiber used on the wing.

 

Isn't that called the Oh sh*t bar? My passengers always say oh sh*t when they grab that bar.

Funny thing happen to me was these 2 young kids in a neon comes flying up next to me, I looked over and the passenger guy was holding and point to this little hot wheel or little radio control yellow Evo and waving at me. It gave me a funny feeling that I own the car they were playing with.

 

I don't own one yet but today in math we had some extra time so the teacher asked the whole class a question, the question was what is your dream car? So you probably knew what I said, A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The whole class looked up and looked at me as if I was stupid. And the kid next to me looks at me and says "You cant make stuff up" I was like wtf. Does nobody know what it is? Just a funny story.

 

"duuude, that sounds like a jet engine when you take off!"

 

*vroom vroom* ....that thing got a hemi?



just kidding

 

The amusing thing is, like most modern cars, it does.

 

I get "nice car" 2-3 times a day usually.

does that wing come with the car?

how much were those rims?

what kind of paint did you use on your calipers?

and after I beat down boosted Qval Mangusta (or whatever they are, the italian cars) the GIRL chased me down and asked me what kind of car this was etc, ended up getting her #.

cop pulled me over, clocked me at 118 in a 55 on i95 and we ended up talking about my car and I didnt even get a warning.. LOL.


Enough for now.
