Fun times though. I had another guy say "EVO?? I have an STI" and oddly enough a lot of people asked me if I owned an EVO. I just told them that I wouldn't have bought the shirt if I didn't...LOL
Did you get the shirt from revvwear.com? My friend designed that shirt He's got a sick picture of him wearing it in the foreground with his Evo in the background. revvwear is based here in Salt Lake.

I have a shirt that looks like a normal shirt (like Hollister type style) and has a picture of a beach and a vintage 911 on it. It says "Wanna go make out in my Porsche?" Needless to say it was awesome having it when I actually had a Porsche... The only thing the Subie has going for it is the fold down seats.

Saw a guy who got his Evo tuned right after I got the Subie tuned at the bar the other day. He said what's up and we chatted a bit. Funny how cars bring the world together (especially if you're the type that doesn't hate on other cars, and just loves em all).

I didnt read all the posts, but from what i can see, i have a sole job here as a child welfare social worker. I have to pick up kids and drive them around and many times in bad situations. I could probably take one of the government owned POS's around here, but i prefer to drive my evo (probably why it has 80K on it). It is great because it gives kids something when they are in a horrible situation to take their minds off of it. Some of the other people in my office have had kids run when they found them and tried to get them to go with them, i have never had a kid run on me.
The best one though came from one of my coworkers kids, I gave them a ride one day and she said that for two days he compared every car on the road to the evo saying "I bet his evo is faster than that car" Drove her crazy.
I also have an evo model in my office and all the older kids come in and ask if the one in the parking lot is mine. Most of them still hate me, but they are always willing to go for a ride. Unfortunately, i cant really get on it with these kids in it, but it makes all the right sounds and you dont have to go real fast to make the blowoff valve go.

I went to revvwear's website to find it because another friend of mine has a white t-shirt with the same phrase on it. Needless to say, I went to the website and was unable to locate the shirt. I ended up Googling the phrase and I found some off the wall site that had it. I paid $21.00 + $6 to ship it to my front door. Unfortunately, it's just a plain grey Haines t-shirt with the phrase on it. Oh well.

Congrats to your friend though, it's an awesome shirt, I got it in GG to match my car

My girls was driving the evo and while getting into the freeway some car pulled up next to her and a bunch of guys stuck their heads out the window saying something to her. I wasn't with her when this happen. I still thought it was funny.

Seriously! i don't know what the deal is. My girl tells me all the time "why even waste your time." My girl and I were going back home after grocery shopping on a friday night ( I know really on a friday night. I'm 22 for crying out loud) and some civic downshifts and is reving high right next to me. I tell my girl "man! I have eggs in the back seat" I look into the civic and see a girl sitting in the passanger seat ( I assume his girlfriend ). After the civic wouldn't let off my girl finally tells me to just leave him because it was annoying her. i do a quick pull away from him and quickly slow down after i've made my point. My girl tells me that pull felt a little slow. It turns out my avc-r was in a setting where the boost was at limited to 14 psi. and i still destroyed him and the eggs were unharmed. I wonder what the girl in the civic thought.

Funniest story for me was when I was driving through texas heading towards louisiana and I stopped in a small town gas station. Couple of guys came out asking questions about where I got this kit car.

They just design and custom make the shirts, they can do any phrase on any shirt along with other things, the girl that owns it races bullet bikes and has a pretty sweet maxima.. Dunno how much it is to get em done.

GG matching your car is probably pretty sick!

I had a school bus full of young kids scream out the window and all getting excited passing by and at a stop light. I realized one of the kids was my little cousin bragging to all her friends saying, "that's my cousin in that car!"

Lol It felt nice to make her seem cool I guess.

lol, when I got my car back from the shop, I drove to 7-Eleven the next day...A teenager is a honda cr-x with stock rims painted black and a gutted interior said, "Wanna race?" I laughed and said, "Wanna lose?". He laughed and walked inside. When he came back out he said, "Wanna trade?", I said, "No thanks ". He then persisted to say, "Come on, it's somewhat fast.." then I ignored him.

About a week later I go to the same 7-eleven this time on a Saturday night at about 10pm. There wasn't anyone else besides me. When I came out of 7-eleven I noticed about 5 different cars had pulled in...One of them was this guy who is just as old as me (21) who souped up his POS yellow cobalt LS, and asked me when I was "guna run that thing". I said, "Considering it was in the shop for the past 3 months getting a new transmission, I don't think i'm going to race anytime soon. Plus I like the cheap insurance on my own policy." So he agreed with me and said he's getting a K20 motor put in his yellow cobalt LS, I just LOL'd.

Oh yeah and he has that car because he did a lot of street racing and has massive amounts of tickets thus cannot afford anything close to an Evo. Insurance would eat him alive.

Yeah my son thought every car with the mitsu logo on it was an evo. he is 7 now, and he can tell almost all awd cars, and almost all hondas apart. he even now knows many different platforms. My son will be a tuner when he gets older. His fav is the toyota supra. He keeps telling me about how a supra would smoke my evo. Then when i first got my evo, he always said daddy i think chris's evo is better then yours. Lol that got old real quick, then i told him my evo was as fast as a space ship, and my friends evo was slow lol. He now backs me up lol.
