I just remembered a few more.

The guy that detailed my car last year thought it was FWD. He also thought I put on an aftermarket wing and bodykit and asked me if I went drifting in it.

This old guy in a chevy suburban told me I was burning oil because of the smell coming from my test pipe.

One of my idiot friends insisted the best way to launch the car was to drop the clutch at 3k rpms.

1. some dude waves at me to pull over to ask directions. after slowing down and stopped in the middle of the road(arkansas!) he asked me where I had my body kits installed. he wants one for his cavalier too.

2. showed co-workers pic of my car, another fella came over to look and said you have a lancer? I said, no it is not a lancer! it is an >"eeevooluutionnnn!"

3. most of the times, thumbs up or curiosity fills them as they slowly get closer to my car and jumps in amazement when it either starts by itself(remote start) or car starts alarming-1 meter perimeter sensor installed")

I get lots of comments working at my auto parts store.

Most common is:
"How much did the Brembos and BBS wheels cost you?"

I then inform the customer the car is stock.

Most irritating one was this:
"Well hey if you run out of gas you have that nice big handle on the trunklid to push with."

My favorite one:
"Why does your car have two radiators?"

I wasn't even gonna attempt to explain what an intercooler does.

Lastly a few dumb but super hot girls asked me if I bought my car from the Fast and Furious movie set.

The only one i've heard of so far was from a Hyundai Tiburon owner in his 50's who was obviously suffering from a midlife crisis: "Yeah cops love coming after fast cars like ours"

"I see you flying around the parking lot in your Honda."-my old boss.
"That's bigger than my house plumbing." My grandpa talking about the hks muffler/exhaust

"Nice wing kit" (wing is now off for a number of reasons)

"You paid how much for this?"

Then your usual ricer comments, and asking how much the body kit was...sigh

No lie... and this is hands down the best comment on this thread...

I was just at Pep Boys, and the guy was like "Evo? So you have the SRT-4 motor, right?"

And then he went to defend his stupidity by saying the 3000GT and Stealth have the same motor, thus the SRT-4 and Evo have the same motor.

I didn't even raise the point that there's a big difference between 2.0 and 2.4

Evo with 280 cams idling, "lope, lope, lope, lope"
someone I work with, "Whats wrong with your car?"

Someone else I work with, "Arent you a little too old to be driving that kind of car?"
me, "Hey you drive a mustang and you are older than me"
them, "Yeh, but it is ACTUALLY fast"
me, "If your bone stock 03 GT mustang can beat my built Evo in the 1/4 I'll burn it to the ground on the spot!"
them, "haha, sure"
(he has since then rode in the car and has done nothing but praise it since)

A few people (ricers) in town responding to hearing my turbo spool up. "you have a belt loose I think" .... riiiiiiiiight

some rednecks walking out of a restaurant while I was in the drive thru "look that guy fixed up his neon too"

Ive also had the "yours cars still running" .... thanks dick tracy
and the "fast and furious" comments.

I think I get it so bad because I live in a smaller town and there has never been another evo in town, so noone knows what they are
