The "Bro Code" demands that we wear our baseball caps at either the 12:00 or 6:00 position.

I would be offended if my Evo is listed under:
Fun Cars for Tough Times

Evos are a Badaxx specie. Nothing to do with "fun cars"

as much as i hate to say it they do make a good few points, we will never live down the hooked up econobox crap cause even with the X its just a step up from the ix but not much. it will not attract the ladies like a Z will, but as far as i am concerned evo owners don't care cause we want a superior car.

I respect the X as an EVO but I really hope this calms down some X owners because for no reason they thought that they were gonna be taken more serious then VII and IX owners by those outside our community, this shows that's not the case. This is a haha in the face of the few X owners that said the same thing about VIII and IX owners and called us boy racer's. Can we all be friends now please lol. We know that the real enemy r the Honda boys cuz of their frosted tips and sideways and/or upside down visors that we are seen this way. Its bogus that they take a shot at X owners but give props to the cobalt SS. My EVO is used to move my family around wats the wing have to do wit it? lol

Well to be fair they couldn't talk sh*t about the car, so they had to put the owners down. Basically went like this "The 370z is the best car for the price even though its slower than a 4 door AWD sedan that is more practical for everyday use and can be modified to your liking without raping your budget, but the owners are younger than you what do they know. So buy this slower less practical pos instead for the same price."lol f MSN auto's.

MSN auto isn't too fantastic, i wouldn't take to much thought on what they say. I mean look at this from their info on the Evo-X

The redesigned Lancer Evolution brings to market nearly identical styling and much of the technology first shown on the Mitsubishi Concept X at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show.
