Funny/stupid things people say/ask about your Evo!
This hillbilly guy I work with always loves to refer to my spoiler as a "whale tail" or a "surf board." Most of the other guys usually laugh when he says it. What he doesn't realize is that they're laughing at him and not with him.
On the way to my preferred aftermarket parts store today a lady in her late 40's early 50's was driving an 09+ Lancer ralliart. When I pulled up beside her (in my RHD evo 4) She looked at me, and gave me the nod of approval. Than gave the ralliart a little rip as she went past me!

i always just go with it, i actually start the huge wing jokes nowadays, when i get asked what kind of car i have i just say lancer, im not going to waste my time with someone who could care less and more importantly i could care less what they think. with that said the funniest/best thing thats ever happened was when i drove passed a little kid around 6-8, his jaw just dropped when he saw my car coming so i waved hi, threw some revs to him and ripped through 2nd. i know when i was a kid every time a sweet car passed my house i wanted them to do the same thing but never did, so hopefully he got a kick out of it.
I have done this many of times... It's funny because when I just say Lancer they seem disappointed or something. Like they wanted me to say Mustang GT or Camaro SS idk...
on the way home tonight. a guy in a rhd skyline.. not sure which model.. but he gestures me to lower my window.. so i did.. and he says .. "is that a real evo?" took me a second to give thought to that question.. i then said yes it's a real evo..
guy says.. does it have a turbo

Went to napa to try my luck at some parts for my VIII was they pull out one of the parts ( coil pack) I compare it to the one from my car, I said no this is wrong... they respond, its just a little longer(2-3")
I said no thanks...
Then they ask me what model I have, I said a 2004 lancer evolution... the rattle off...
Outlander, oz rally, DE, ES.... I was like EVOLUTION... then they repeated my options.... I said it is a Lancer Evolution...
They keep digging, 5 minutes later... is it at turbo? ...Yes... Oh!!! ...no we dont have any.
Idiots.

A coworker just bought his first "sports car", a Tiburon GT V6. And when a few of us went on lunch, I offered to drive the four of us to go out and grab some food. We packed in to the Evo, and he asked if it was as fast as his tiburon and if it's a V6 or V8. I gunned it in second, and blew his mind when I told him it was a four cylinder.
