I have a Blue SE, so it it pretty non-descript without any crazy bodywork or a wing. People at work think it is just a four door econobox. I even have a car seat in it and the family stickers in the back window.
I had to go the Baltimore Convention center for work. I got there late and they were stadium style parking cars
. I have never valeted the car for just that reason. I was pissed but I had to get in there for work.
When I got done that afternoon, came back down and the attendant asked me what car I had....i said "blue mitsubishi". He puts on a big grin and says 'ahhh, the EVO'. It was right in front of the attendant's booth with nothing else around it.
I thought that was pretty cool, later on I had flashback's of Ferris Beuller's Day off in my head.

"How fast is it?"
I see a lot of people get this one...Does any body know how to accurately answer this question? There has to be some kind of formula or something...My poor town is crawling with ricers, and I get this question from them at least once a week...I usually just say "Yes" and walk away...
Also, my friend has a slammed gti and took his car to STS, the mechanic points at his intercooler and says "your radiator is real low to the ground there..." He's since found a new mechanic.

One time this girl asks me "You have a nice car what's the name brand?" I'm like its a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. She was like wow nice I have a Mitsubishi refrigerator at home. I felt like face palming myself.
This one other time while I was warming up my car, I see this little boy walking with his mother and as they walk by my car, he tells his mother "Mom look this car looks like a toy."

The other day I was talking with some guys at work about cars and someone said something about Chryslers being junk and we all laughed and this happened:
Coworker 1- (looks at me) You know your car is actually a Chrysler.
Me: Ummm... I don't think so man.
Coworker 2- Well it's got a Chrysler motor in it.
Me: (With a look of amazement) Maybe you're thinking of the old DSM relationship which I don't know a lot about but one thing I do know- the 4G63 is definitely not a Chrysler product!!
Coworker 1- Well probably, but it still has a lot of Chrysler parts on it.
Me: No (end of conversation)
