Funny/stupid things people say/ask about your Evo!
Parked next to an Evo 8 at a car show, and his buddy who seems to know what an evo is asks me hey is that the railliart?... Really dude, I took offense to that, I think it makes itself pretty clear its an evo with the wide body, aero kit, brembos, EVOLUTION badge, and large rear wing...
There are some people who shouldn't like cars.

My parents don't know diddly squat about an Evo and call it a piece of crap junk Asian car. Pisses me off. I wish I didn't have ignorant parents.

A guy I work with asks me if it's turbo so I tell him it is. Then he asks if it's twin turbo so I tell him no it's single turbo. So he says "single turbo is alright, your EVO will be almost as quick as my twin turbo galant I had. Which was a 1996 2.5l v6 tt. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The other day I was at a gas station and a guy pulls up in a 240 (not even a clean 240 cuz clean ones with front end S15 conversions are sick, this was one of the s14s with the highpitched exhaust and the cracked up body kit that wasn't even painted the right shade of white)
240guy: "nice car man, I'm looking at getting one of those but nobody has them in automatic..."
me: *crying inside "oh yeah? good luck with that bro"
(apparently i shoulda tacked on automatic to the failings in the above description)

To add to the little kid stories...
"Mommy! Its just like my hotwheels!" -facepalm
or
"Shh! Mom be quiet! I want to see if it transforms!"
and my all time favorite...
"Dude, sweet Sti."
If it weren't for the fools and ill-informed, I don't think owning this car would be as much fun

I have so many "car guys" who see my car and are like yeah, Evo's are so cool etc... I love them... and then next question.
"So...... are these things Rear wheel drive or what?"
I just laugh.
But. My favorite thing anyone has ever said...
We were all playing a drinking game and talking..
guy 1: "so I heard _____ bought a new Lancer Evolution" (although, I personally doubt this)
guy 2: "yeah, I think he did...."
my girlfriend: "YEAH, Well Mitch has two! HAHA"
