Sometimes I wish that I had an on-board camera to catch the expressions and reactions when I accelerate with a first timer in the car. I've had people flail their arms and try to grab on to things, I've had people yell swear words, I've had others tell me to slow down when I am doing under the speed limit. Its just all too funny when people don't have much of a clue.

The previous comment about the WW2 vet who said something about flying against Mitsu planes reminded me of a comment I got when I bought my 3G Eclipse... My friends Mom said I shouldnt ever buy a Mitsubishi because they(Mitsubishi) used American POWs to work in their factories. Kinda passed that 65 years later.... lol

 

I took a girl for her first ride in an evo and I just simply went to pass a car with a slow 2-3 shift around wastegate pressure (18 psi) and I swear if it wasn't for the seat belt she would have bashed her head on the dash.

 

Some guy at the car wash when i first got my car asked me if that was the new mustang lmao i just laughed

 

haha yea man. Off Topic, but same subject..

Before the Evo, I was looking for a Supra. Went to a Toyota dealership and asked the sales person if they had any used Supras or can get one in.
The sales person, very proudly and very confidently said that they have one in stock..now if I was a dog..my tail would have started wagging.

So, we are going around the lot and I am ever so anxiously looking around, so I can spot it out before he can. We get to half way through the lot and he says there it is. I am like WTF!!, all I see is 4 corollas, 3 mid 90s camrys and 1 black '00 Celica. I am like where? He points at the Celica and says "you wanted a Supra right, there it is?" I couldn't help but LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ROFL LMAO.. and respond with, "thats a celica man, not a supra". He said, "arn't they the same". I said, "HELLLLLLLL NOOOOO! LOL"
Then he said, "Well, they used to be one in the same".
I am like yea, back in the ****ing late '70s man, this is 2005. LOL
I had to pull out my phone, search up Toyota Supra and show it to him.
He was confused and said he never seen it nor knew that there was a Supra and said, "So, when did they separate them." In '86 man.. LOLLOLOOOLOLOLLOLOL..... Have a good day... LOLOLOOLLLOLOLOOLOLLLOLOL

I was dumbfounded by the fact that these sales people don't know what they are selling and it was confirmed when I was looking for Evos. But I still understand on the Evos because it was a new platform for the US market and they might not know everything yet. But come on.. Supra.

 

Lol man thats funny

 

LOL!!! That's right... I would have had to open a Big'O Can a Whoop-azz (and film it)

 

Pull into gas station and ye ol' redneck says "Man that turbo is loud as hell." I say "Yea brand new type called SRI you should google it."

I drive a NA oz....

 

So I go on a date with this chick and she asks me what kind of car I have, i tell her i drive a honda civic and she asks me why does it look like an Evo. I told her, if she knew what is was, then why'd she ask?

 

Brother's Friend: "Sweet Car man"
Me: "Thanks"
Him"Yeah I used to own a turboed 2g making 500 at the wheels until I blew the engine, you have a turbo in that thing, right.?"


Girl in the backseat:" Wow, you must have put a lot of money into your car"
Me: "No not really, everything is pretty much stock"
Girl: "Stock...?"
Me: "Yeah, I've put about 18 grand into"

Not worth the explanation

 

Vatozone clerk after pulling my codes: What is overboost? Did you put the turbo on?

Me: No from the factory ( with a WTF look on my face)

Some people just shouldn't be allowed around cars let alone try to help people with theirs.

 

some guy at work asked me "Is that a WRX" hahaha C'mon man

 

I always get "is that a 'real' Evo?" and my smart *** response is "no... i just bought a turbo, brembos, body kit and large spoiler to make it look like one"

 

when people get in my evo and they hear the wastgage they ask why do my wheels keep spinnin lol

two girls get in the car
girl one sits in thr front.girl two on the back
girl two say cool car what kind of car is this.
before i could answer girl one says its a honda. i stop make her get out and girl two sits in the front :-)
havent seen girl one eversince. lol

 

Something similar, but slightly different from me... I get people saying, "that's just an 8 with a 7 body kit on it!"

I never even warrant their comment with a response.
