does the X get the same attention?
yep, I got mine for its potential and not for looks. I still like how it looks though so as long as I like it, i'm good. And yeah, girls like the look of the expensive makes, most of them just look at the make and not the model... you could be driving a 325i bmw and even though it costs less than an evo, it's still a bmw and it carries prestige with it. It's funny

Dude you bought an Mitsubishi evolution, people are going to want to race you and it does not matter if they drive a peice of crap. 1/2 ton dulles, ricers, big rigs, mustangs, mx5, neons, minivan, corvette, ice cream trucks, porches, bikes, civics, z28, sti, lambo, bmw, tricicles, whatever, your driving an evo, they know your fast, they want to see you go fast. if you dont like people reving their rice rockets at you, dont buy and evo, becasue its not the car for you.

But seriously though, I don't think anyone said they're disliking the negative attention.
Yep! I don't know about previous Evo's, but the X gets tons of attention, both good and bad.
Usually I get at least 3 questions a day, which pretty much consists of, "OMG, IS IT FAST?!" , "OMG, IS THAT THE NEW ONE?" or "OMG, HOW IS IT?!?!"
Then about once a week: stopped at a light, G35/7 pulls up (almost always a G35/7...seems they're the most gloaty or something), revs, rolls down his window, "let's go." I nod, in agreement. I rev a little, light turns green - they shoot off (while I'm pretty much still in the same place - I don't race
.)
Maybe twice a week I get the occasional thumbs up (usually from Civics).
And then maybe once a day I see another Evo, and we throw peace signs.
And the non-direct attention: I get people cutting me left and right. It's annoying, but whatever.
Anyway, yes, lots of attention!

sounds like a stretch, we have a name for guys like this at work....Topper
(Or maybe you're just not familiar with Los Angeles?)
And anyway, I really have no reason to stretch the truth, I'm not trying to impress any of you...we drive the same car!

You guys must be tripping over each other over there. Doesn't sound like a stretch now. I live in some burbs outside of Philly.
