does anybody out there have parents that are into dms? i think that would be awsome. some old guy comes to my work and he has a 100% stock 2g that the only drives like 1000 miles a year and puts like 1000$ or more of oem parts in it every year to keep it fresh.

 

my mom gets scared when i am doing like 40 in the evo which is funny cause i own an evo with over 400 and my brother owns a 1g with about 400.

 

My car is the only car that my mother buckles up in

 

My 72 year old uncle calls me all the time and wants me to drive him in the mountains just out side of boulder Colorado and he loves it.. and i dont go SLOW thats for sher lol

 

For some very odd reason, I thought the thread title implied that your dad was ripping farts in your Evo.

 

After I let my dad take it for a few spins he couldn't believe the "thrust". he said the only faster feeling car he'd driven was in the 60's and that was a real AC cobra 427...which could easily break the tires loose in any gear. I've actually caught him checking out used modified evo's online a few times now

 

when i first got my car, my father was saying 4 cylinder this, 4 cylinder that.. blah blah blah. the typical push rod v8 lover comments. after i took him for a ride he changed his song and dance awfuly quick. now he loves it when i ask him to come with me to do logging runs on the highway. haha hes amazed how the car comes out of the hole when i launch it. hes addicted!

 

My mom is 64, and I let her test my Evo. She liked it a lot! My wife drives it once in a while - and my kids get a kick out of riding in the backseat - sure beats riding in the ol' minivan.

 

 

ha, thats whats up..how old are the kids?

 

My dad just whines about how nice his 93 buick century rides and how my car is a death trap. This coming from a guy who used to work on race cars back in the day. The only time he was ever out to help me work on one of my cars was my Camaro. He absolutely HATED my DSM's. My grandfather loves my Evo though, says its like a plane taking off, lol.

 

yea a girl was in my car and said the same thing^^ like a plane taking off. so sweet

 

Yea my mom loves driving my evo, and she wanted to get one for herself. But, I'm convincing her to get a 335.

 

My wife and I were moving. We went to pickup the Uhaul, which I drove the Uhaul back to the house, she drove my car. She disappeared on me and came back 20 minutes later looking like we had been...................

All she had to say was "Now I understand"

 

i think the thunderbolt is the best muscle car ever built. even though that was a little bit before the true muscle cars started. my old man looked at one in '64 but didn't buy it because it was to "stripped down" or some lame excuse. he would be sitting on a gold mine if he had that now.
