If they write down the wrong car I'm pretty sure it is no longer your responsibility

Just today.....

Co-worker - Is that a Racing Steering Wheel?
Me - Something like that.
Co-worker - Did that come stock?
Me - Yup
Co-worker - and these racing seats did too?
Me - yup
Co-worker - unbelievable

I'm like damn, it's an '03, not exactly something new that just came out. He's astonished that a car was ever made like that from the factory, lol.

Just the other day this happened, FYI my car doesn't have the stock high rise spoiler, it has the small Ralliart Spoiler from like an '05 ralliart.

Guy...is that a regular lancer
Me....no it's an evo
Guy....Oh I couldn't tell because of the small spoiler
(FYI, It says EVOLUTION VIII across the trunk, retard)
Guy...I used to own one, but I sold it before PCS'ing here to Germany because of the insurance being too high
Me....you sold it only because of that reason?
Guy....Yea, people wreck their EVOs all the time just so they can total it out and buy it back for cheap and then mod the crap out of them, so the insurance companies jacked the rates up just for EVOs.
Me......*confused look*

1st off, you would think if he owned a Evo at some point, that he would be able to tell what mine is regardless of the smaller wing.
2nd off, no one that owns a Evo would blatantly wreck their EVO just to mod it. WTF?

A cop at a local Subway was talking to his fellow officer and I over heard him call my car (Evo X GSR) a "Ricer Burner" >.<
