The one thing I didn't miss when I sold my last Evo...

Being harassed by idiots.

So I'm driving over to Best Buy after work, and some idiot in an Altima comes flying up to get beside me at a red light, starts revving his engine loud, and of course decides to floor it when the light turns green. I let the guy go, don't even put it in gear as he is spinning his wheels and taking off. I roll my eyes and shake my head as the guy darts over into my lane.

Of course, it happens to be that he's going to the same parking lot as I am. Luckily, he isn't going to the same area. So I park my car in a secluded end and here comes the idiot not 50 yards in front of me and proceeds to do donuts while looking over at me. At this point, I'm wondering if the guy is going to come over and say something or worse, try and pick a fight or god knows what. So I put on my suit jacket, go into Best Buy and watch him as he slowly drives by the car and exits the lot.

Ugh. People are idiots and unfortunately even the new "mature" Evo is a magnet for them.

I know how you feel. I currently have an IS 350 (waiting on the MRs) and got so tired of people revving on me at lights, I rebadged it as a 250. Haven't been revved on since.

I have been getting more attention in my new X. In my 400awhp EVO 8 no body would even mess with me. Now I trucks messing with me.

Nope, small spoiler. I chose it because it would be more discrete.

it's an everyday thing with me on the way to work- any evo is a target and I don't care. I don't need another ticket because of an idiot.

i have not had to many idiot encounters yet. just an older guy in a newer mustang gt at a merge lane. let him go first then i got on it a little and put my front end in front of his just to let him know to stop wasting his gas
oh and a guy in some 1997ish v12 benz, that couldnt belive i only had a 4 banger in it

hondas and rednecks just cant help but harass me... I've come to accept it but it is one of the only things I miss about the Ralliart.
