+1 exactly what happens when I explain it to my neighbors

Mostly it's kids asking if I'm running NOS

 

Someone should make a thread for responses for the "is it fast" question. We need a good answer since it's asked so often.

 

Does a bear **** in the woods? Seriously, just tell them the truth. You bought the whole package when getting an EVO.

 

My senior year yearbook quote was a response to that... Lemme see if I can find it. Crap, I think it was in one of the newspaper issues, I swear it was in the yearbook... Anyway, one friend who had gotten a WRX when I got the Evo said "Evo? Who drives an Evo!?" My quote was something like "Of course it's fast, what kind of question is that?"

Dammit, I wish I could find it. It was so clever.

 

My 8 year old cousin told me that my car looked like sonic the hedgehog (because of the vortex generators).


About a week ago my friend called me while I was driving, and before I had a chance to put all the windows up so that I could hear him, he said:

Are you driving?
Yep. Hold on, I have to put my windows up so I can hear you.
Yeah I figured because all I can hear is what sounds like a bunch of pissed off yellow jackets.
(I have the Greddy Ti catback) haha


And the other day I was washing my car when an old lady walked by with her dog, the dog was barking at me, and she said (completely straight faced) that he must be barking because of the big wing! I just said something like "yeah it's not for everyone" wtf

 

Lucky bastard, had an evo in highschool. I had a .... well road.... bus

Riding in my buddies STI a month or so ago stopped at a light and some guy
pulls up in a civic and says "i'll trade ya"... We just laughed and road off.

 

My girlfriend and I took a vacation last year to Gatlinburg, TN. After running the Tail of the Dragon, we eventually ended up in town later that night. At the time, there was not much traffic. So we come up to a red light and there was a minivan sitting there waiting for the green light. As we pull up, I applied the brakes (Hawk HP+ Pads) and as always - they made their typical blood curdling sound. At that point the van full of kids heard them and starting screaming and asking their father if the noise was coming from the minivan. My girlfriend about passed out from the laughter. Once I became stopped at that traffic light I look over and the entire van of people were staring in disbelief. The look on the father's face was shear horror. The people reading this story with aggressive brake pads can definitely atest to this story and know exactly where I am coming from

 

I just got a little kid about 8 years old today while washing my car, staring at my car for about 2 minutes, came up to me and told me i had a tight car. lol. i just laughed and said thanks!

 

ive been getting more compliments about my car lately....

but today a guy driving a new eclipse asked me if it was a Jetta.....

then he said he wanted to turbo his Eclipse but it could only take 7psi....he asked if I was only running like 15psi......i said no more like 32psi....his jaw dropped.

 

little kids always ask me if its fast and that they like the wing. I always say yes but the 8 to 10 year olds arent the problem. An evo might as well be a pedobear van with free candy on the side. I dropped some people off at a fair in my town and i literally got stopped by a blockade of i say 13-16 year old girls ohing and ahing at my car. It was ridiculous. Also to back up is the evo fast part well a 35 year old corvette owner found out the hard way when he lost his manhood right in front of his wife. To two 19 year old kids me and a friend

 

@ 1. Doesn't suprise me Jon! Considering you can't go a mile without seeing those things in utah.. haha

@2. Reminds me of when my buddy, his little brother and I were little and walking around town with his little bro (maybe 4 at the time?) in a red rider wagon. We walked away from the wagon for a second and I see his brother stand up and fly out of the wagon cuz it started rolling and instantly blame my buddy for pushing it to make him fall probably a 'had to be there' moment

 

Just yesterday my friend Shawn (he has an Evo 9 MR, Silver) dropped off my brother at my house. The neighbor had his 2 - 3 year old son outside, he makes his way over to the fence as my friend Shawn is leaving (he has AMS TBE and some other goodies) and his son says "WOW"

I was leaving Rite-Aid the other day and two chicks getting out of an SUV just stopped and stared at my car as I was getting in it. Lol.

 

mostly ever were i go the kid wanna take pic of my car i think am start charging lol

 

My nephew and niece think that my evo is a race car...lol they get upset at me if I visist and I take my wife's truck.....cute

The other younger kids always whip there heads around, ask if I have NOS, things like that. I actually left the gym yesterday and a 7-8 y/o with his mom said "look mommy it's a evo." Then his mom says "I think it's broken listen to the motor" and then he says "it has cams mommy".
how does he know this

 

My son, age 3, climbs into his Recaro baby seat. We strap him in and go for a drive. I end up on the highway and have to make a pass. I downshift and push it hard to pass the morons in front of me. The APS BOV makes it's usual PSSHHHH upon shifting back to 5th to continue cruising. My son in the back is giggling and says "Do it again Daddy".

It almost brought a tear to my eye.
