You must be an attractive woman that drives an Evo...FTWx2

But it's epic fail when the people you talk to about your car have no idea what your talking about lol

A buddy of mine at work said my car smells like a go-cart. I didn't know what to think, must be the 1000cc injectors.

Oh well...4G63 FTW

Funny you mention that... Friends of mine, who are actually very knowledgable about cars always tell me car car sounds like a bridge ported rotary because of my cams.... "wop wop wop wop" He's call it the rotary powered Evo. Coming from a guy with a 302 in his '87 RX-7, haha.

Again, not kids but:

One time I was driving along with a friend of mine. cruising at about 45mpp when a mkIII Gti pulls up and matches my speed and I hear this kid yell "DO IT!!!".... Hahahah what? I reply "Do what?!"... again, "DOOO IIITT!!!". So I just yell "NOOOO!!!" and slow down.

Another time, again, crusing along at a nice 40-45mph. Same road, different day. An RSX pulls up next to me, matches my speed. Looks over smiles... and then, this kind of stareled me, he yells "TUUUURRRRRBOOOOO!!!!!" and drops a gear and takes the **** off. I won't lie that RSX was movin' pretty good. Sounded REAL nice too. I just stayed at a steady speed, laughing about him yelling "turbo" and shocked at how quick it was espeically for being NA.

I get a kick out of NOT racing people. It's more fun that way. An SRT-4 was going out of his way to try to race me. He kept trying to get beside me, and I just kept slowing down and getting behind him. He'd change lanes and I'd change lanes right back behind him. He finally got fed up with me not racing after like 10 minutes so he gave me the finger, dropped a gear and took off. It's so much more fun to NOT race, hahaha.

Evo's get some pretty "interesting" attention.

i had 272's in mine and ppl in my autos class said it sounded rotary lmfao..

and evos DO get alot of interesting attention.. not always good. but its even worse when your a female lol. its goten to a point that my headline on my myspace/facebook says, "yes im a female and i drive/fix my own evo. no i wont approve you..

its actually sad that guys think girls are "car ******" when actually alot of the guys i met are the exact same way. ive finally learned to distiguish which guys they are but its pretty sad lol

Who wants to buy my car?! lol

my wife reminded me of this one.... like a week after I got my evo x we were driving down I45 b/w Houston and Dallas, and in my defense i actually wasnt speeding but I drove past a county, who in turn of course pulled me over. The first thing he said to me was "what kinda car is this anyway?" but in a confused kinda way, then he asked for my license and reg. Looked at my registration and was like this is a Mitsubishi. I kinda laughed a little and completely pissed my wife off. Then he asked about the Brembos and other random things about the car. I asked him what i did to get pulled over and his reply was... "ummm, ummmm you were going over like 4 mph, but I'm not giving you a ticket, just a warning". And as he was handing me back my id and stuff he was like "I bet this thing fast isnt it?" The only time i ever liked getting pulled over.

HA I just read everything in this thread I couldnt stop laughing. I used to get all of this and plus some when I had my Evo, I have a story from when I picked my skyline up from a canadian gentleman in michigan.

I got to the meeting place where we arranged to meet so I could see and test drive the GTR before I bought it and while driving around it was around 4 in the afternoon and we were in town and I swear I have never seen so many heads turn to see what the car was in my life. We jumped on the highway for a quick spin and I had people literally getting out of the way just to let it have its running room and people trying to tale me. I had a s2000 follow me for 15 minutes and 5 or 6 people take pics of it on the road.

I loaded it onto the flat bed for the drive home and everywhere we went to stop to eat or get gas we had people stopping and asking us about it, we stopped in a mcdonalds in dayton ohio and a group of younger guys prolly 17-19 pulled up in like three different cars a RSX, a WRX, and a s13 just standing out by the flatbed waiting for us to get done eating, Apparently the WRX was following us from Vandalia Ohio just to get a better look and he called his friends to get them to come see it. I let em have a look around it and start it and give her a few revs lol. You would have seriously thought this was like a Bugatti Veyron or something all the attention it got. Just goes to show you how many people recognize the GTR badge.

I was down at H2O international this past weekend and every red light I got on the strip: "Hey does that thing have cams"
My response: "No just a vacuum leak"

I went to a 49er's game and parked next to my buddies truck and started tailgating...some kids and one of their dads were walking towards us and one of the kids ran over to my car and asked me if he could have a picture taken with it! I LOL'd, as did my friends, and said sure! The dad quickly took a picture of the kid and my evo and went on their way... :-)

Oh, the kids was probably 12 or so...

One day, me and the guys went to a meet, and there were a bunch of evos in the parking lot. These teenagers roll by in an integra, and the driver sticks his head out the window while shifting and makes a loud pshhhhh sound out his mouth. Funniest thing ever lol...not little kids but hilarious stuff

The kids always love the sound of the excess pressure coming from the external wastegate....funny stuff

Not really involving kids, but I was driving around San Diego and all of a sudden I hear this ridiculous car horn and a bunch of people yelling. I look in my rear view and I see one of these things coming up behind me:

"What year is it?!?! -HONK- -random hydraulic moves- -HONK- -yell-"
lolol
