Funny/stupid things people say/ask about your Evo!
So this happened yesterday. I just got home from being overseas and my car arrived yesterday. I'm showing my parents the car got the hood up and everything. My brothers friend (17 yr/old hs kid) comes over in a 2010 Lancer with an aftermarket wing.
Lancer guy: Damn man you just got it.
Me: yea it just got here.
LG: wow it looks sweet i never seen a civic up close.
Me: yea well here you are.
LG: its nice man congrats
Me: thanks
LG: Yo man you gotta slam it down and turbo it and get a cold air intake.. its like a ram air.
Me: umm first its an evo its already turbo, 2 you don't "slam" these cars they are the way they are and 3 i have an intake its right there..
LG: oh i had no idea.
Me: yea i noticed... (closed hood)

guy in camry pulls up
camry guy: hey is the lancer MR just as fast as a real evo?
me: what do you mean?
cg: is the MR just as fast as the evo? was wondering because my toyota has 360 horses.
me: theres some sort of miscommunication. the mr is a trim of the Evo. its the six-speed version basically
cg: so its not as fast as the evo then?
me: (frustrated) actually because of the 6th gear it adds about 250 more horses
cg: i thought so
on our way home my girlfriend is talking about what to make for dinner
me: GOD THAT GUY PISSED ME OFF HOW STUPID HE IS!
my gf: you have a problem. now chicken chow mein or steaks?

Has any 1 been asked if your Evo is a Honda????
I get that alot...
The same day i bought my car i stopped to pump gas, and a guy driving an Altima asks me, "What year is your Honda?" <<<<WTF>>>>
Some guy stopped at shop with a 2g eclipse and says, "Is that an Evo?"
Me: Yeah
2g guy: "I was going to get a 2010, but this one had twin turbo"
Me: Oh kool....?????

Mazda, Nissan, and one guy knew enough to call it an Evo - a Dodge Evo! (said he recognized it from that car show.. Top Gear US, I think) 
And I've had several people compliment on my nice Eclipse, lol.
Around here, I'm absolutely amazed when someone actually recognizes it as an Evo, and has actually heard of the car before.

well had a nice one yesterday. I just got to texas took the car off the trailer and started driving around just cruising and out no where had a car comming really fast thinking he was gonna pass. instead he gets right next to me while i was doing 40 honks 3 times and takes off lol. I had a WTF look on my face. I think he was in a 06ish corolla.

Similar thing happened to me but it was a cobra. Everytime I got back up next to him he would take off before I could even drop a gear.
Been called a Subaru, sti, wrx, accord, maxima, and srt4. Why is it that more of the general population knows what a sti/wrx is but have never even heard of an Evo? When personally I think evos are a much better all around car

At my dad's shop we always come across funny things. One time a guy mid 20s came to the shop to ask price for installing a body kit on a newer model camaro. It was like a 06 model i think...well anyways my pops didn't know how to quote him because we've never been asked how much to install body kits mainly because we just do general mechanic work. So the guy says its not to hard to install, and says its pretty simple. My dad then asks him to bring the car with the kit so he can see how much work needs to be done. The guy then says, (thinking my dad doesn't know what a body kit is), "Its just like that mitsubishi." While pointing at my evo... In my head i was like, "I didn't know my car comes with a body kit"lol That's the beauty of a stock body evo
