evo is a big hit at block parties

so im home from college for aweek or so, and tonight just so happened to be the yearly neighborhood block party which just so happens to take place on my part of the street since we live in a circle. well im a lot older than any of the other kids but the parents are all pretty nice people so i figured Id be a good nieghbor and show my face. well my evo was parking in our upper driveway so it was visable from the party, and a lot of people were asking my father about it not knowing wht the hell it was. so the next thing i know i have a group of kids and their fathers all eyeing my car. so i do what any of us would do, i offer them all rides. well long story short i start doing laps letting people take turns getting a ride going waaaay to fast just to show them what it can do. i think i thrilled a bunch of them and scared the sh*t out of the rest. a quarter tank later all the car guys were stunned and wanting to show off their s500's and a8s.

Interesting...I had a block party today close to my house...people saw my car and didnt say a darn thing even as I chatted with them.

I actually get relatively few looks/comments. Its like im drving a taurus or something.

I never could find out who was driving that car. It's not like its a big town or anything. I might come back up during the winter break. Will you be back home then too?

I live in Vegas and I have been next to a couple of evos with no response from any of them. I guess thats why I dont "hang out" Other then that there are so many ferraris and vipers that I look like Im drivin a pinto. Maybe I should move back East.
