Chiropractor's love the EVO

I am abolutely amazed at the head turning, rubber necking and staring at my EVO. Today was a slow day, as I only got 3 honks and 1 thumbs up while I was washing it. Local Chiropractors have noticed an increase in neck strains as a result of EVO sightings.
What is your best rubber necking experience?

I've never seen one on the road either. My friends see them all the time. I guess when I get mine it will make up for all the time I havent seen one

Not exactly rubbernecking, but...

A friend of mine with an Evo was parked at his college without his parking pass. When he returned from class, he found a ticket under his wiper arm. He expected to get it, as a pass is required to park in the lot at all times.

However, there were no violations marked on the ticket. In the comment section it only read "Parking without a valid school pass/ID is grounds for a $35 fine. However, because this is an Evolution, I will let you off this time".

LOL, we framed it and hung it on the garage wall

I have yet to see another EVO in the wild. I kinda like not looking down a line of cars and seeing 4 just like it.... Although, I'm curious what an EVO looks like coming at you; must be pretty cool considering the looks it gets.

Other than my friends Evo, I've only seen one on the streets. I was merging onto the freeway, and when I looked in my sideview all I saw was this huge silver intercooler flying at me.

It was a tarmac evo, and b/c the day was overcast it looked damn stealthy. Course I gave the guy a

I've been driving a lot all around the Los Angeles area, but I still haven't seen another Evo on the road yet. Kinda strange, cuz the Evo's been out for a while now. I did get lots of head turning on the road tho... mostly from young people. This one guy with a loud *** fixed up neon drove passed my house twice this weekend when I was washing my Evo just to check it out.

I have not seen any other Evo's on the road either.

My car is silver and I have only gotten an occasional look...which is good... I am not that interested in people staring at me...My V8 914 gets me enough of that.

i had some people turn around on the freeway and follow me a couple miles on back roads just to talk to me and take pics of the car. almost spooky but cool. The thumbs up every where I go is encouraging as well.
