Shoot, I'd rather have the mom. Then you get the Benzo, Crib, and the sugar mamma that brings it all together.

So I flipped it and at the next "closed course" light we hooked it up and the extra 60 horses made my mom scream and the vette owner cry... The best part was we were in Detroit home of Chevy.

It was a bit weird with my mom in the car. She loved it. I bet my step dad got a BJ that night.

Lets just say my mom barely rides her bike fast enough to keep from falling over...last thing she needs to ride in a ~400whp Evo

My dad always asked for rides...he's a F16 pilot, so its SLOW compared to what he's used to "driving".

Yep, I totally did last weekened. I had to drop off my mom's drunk *** friend and my mom came along for the ride. She kept rambling about some bs and I got pissed so I launched the fawker at a redlight, wow that was seriously fun for some reason. I kept punching the car on the way home and she was silent the whole way through. I don't think she approves of my car, she wanted my *** to get a hyundai!!

Yes, I had the opportunity to drive my mom after she dropped her car at the dealership for service.

I floored it and went through the first three gears, and her only comment was, "Do you control of the car when it does that" I laughed my *** off and then proceeded to drive-off boost the rest of the way home.

lol...ya my moms pretty cool... she was reading about the evo and she was the one that brought it up...i would have never guess her and my dad would approve... i was originally looking at a 545i.. my dad use to be cool... he had a porsche turbo be4 with the x50 package... he's getting old now so now its a range rover... he's thinking about getting something fun, he likes the idea of cheap parts to go fast. porsche parts are ridiculous.. everything is 4x more and can't install anything yourself except an intake or exhaust

cheers

when I went WOT with my mom in the car she started slapping me and hitting me on the head.

At that moment I thought I was gonna loose control and crash if she didnt stop.

My mom let out a big scream , and told me to not to do that, becuase she got scared...Oh well, i guess mom didn't like the speed, but she does like how it looks, inside and out.

my mom beat the **** out of my evo the day i picked it up. she took it on the twisties in the back roads of my town. but i shouldnt be surprised, she drives a 6speed 911s. she called me about a month ago to brag that she got out of a speeding ticket,clocked at 75 in a 35 zone.

I gave my mom a ride in my galant when it had 450hp. She was holding my laptop bag. I gave it a good 2-3 run through she didnt say a word. I grab my laptop bag after she got out the top of it was all wet from her sweaty palms was 2nd funniest thing ever.

Best was when I gave my older sister a ride.. She nearly **** her pants. Started screaming it's way to fast lol that was the best.. Im lke just wait till you take a ride next time shes like **** that im never getting in your car again.

i took my mom with me once on an autocross run. she said that she didnt breath the whole time and she said that if i ever wanted to do the sport again i better not ever take her for another ride. but simetime when i go down to my garage i notice that there are a little extra miles on my car because my mom likes to go joy riding in it when im not home lol. and my dad got a speeding ticket in my car a month after i got it when i wasnt aware that he was driving it. i guess he got going 90 at the end of a freeway onramp and got pulled over. funny stuff.

haha i know an F16 pilot as well...when i floored my Evo he had no expression on his face....kinda offended me actually but serioulsy these pilots are nuts, they probably wont twitch a muscle till they're accelerating in a 500whp+ car...

some funny stories here hahaha

My ma has been was in the car the first day I bought it (stock). She said it was nice but slightly uncomfortable. 2 weeks later was X-mas and ended up driving down to chicago (lived in WI at the time) So on 290 traffic is moving quite brisk so I decided to stretch the Evo legs since I ws finally past my break-in period, she didn't bat an eye since Im sure she was in lala land.

Fast forward a year when I finally start playing with the car. I had to take my mom to the airport and she was running late so I had to double time it to get her there in time, so good ole I-94, got up to about 6k WOT and I hear this shreak, she starts screaming at me to slow down. And were talking about a little usually soft spoken german woman. Also one of the first times I heard my mom swear.

Fast forward another year. I told her I was heading to the drag races and she actually wanted to go, so out came the laptop on her lap and Im not sure if she finally got use to my driving style but she a good co-pilot and data logger for me.

Right before I moved to FL I had to drop her off at work since her ishtbox wasn't running. Now me being me i had to drop her off right in front of the valet shack, so I get this 18ish kid walking to my door, my mom jumps and and says "Good luck trying to get those keys." I hope I ruined the kids day.

She hasn't been in it with the 30r yet. But my dad will feel the full wrath come next week. First off about him is he's a retired officer and he pretty much played by the books with driving. He's been in the Evo once while it was fairly stock. This should prove interesting.
