Alright I was under the impression this was a regular thing... if that was the case, you're running uber rich all the time! But yes, randomly backfiring will happen, mine happens every once and a while, and I'm cat-less running a test pipe. I'm not sure I shoot a flame though o.O

 

i was driving and it was daylight.. i honestly think the guy was over reacting when he was yelling out his window at me lol however i did enjoy the attension as honestly NO one around here seems to give a hoot about evo's to them i'm driving a $18,000 lancer. with an exhaust system, body kit and nice wheels lol

on another note if my car was on fire id have crapped my pants! i seriously was scared when he said my car was on fire. full out O.O crap glad he added "out the tail pipe" i'm sure it was just a small pop not like a flame thrower or anything .. lol like i said i enjoyed hearing about it from another motorist! almost want to put my go pro on the back of my car and try to duplicate it

 

Adv. Auto guy... Is that an mr?
Me... Yep
Adv. Auto guy... That's the one with the duel turbo set up right?
Me... Sure thing bud ...rotfl within my mind.

 

Wow...

 

guy "Oh is that a mitsubishi?"
me "yea"
guy "I didn't know they made a four door eclipse"

while hes looking at the Big EVOLUTION VIII on the trunk

 

eclipse EVOLUTION. transformer style

 

Along with almost everybody else I always get asked if its an MR. Usually just say no and walk away. But not this time...

Pull into 711 and get a coffee and some smokes and enjoy it before I gotta go back to work

Guy: hey man nice car. Is that an MR?
Me: no a GSR
Guy: oh looks with disgust
Me: just out of curiosity what's the difference of a GSR and and mr?
Guy: dude the mr has an another 200hp
Me: oh I see
Guy: what am I wrong?
Me: I explained the main differences
Guy: so what's the hype of the mr for?
Me: that's what I'm askin you

 

Lol

When someone asks me what car I drive... I always reply "just a lancer". To which I usually get the response "oh they're nice cars"

 

At the local car meet:

Idiot walks up to me and my buddy (who drives a WRX):
"Hey what up, yo are these cars boosted?"
I say with an irritated tone "These cars come boosted"
He's like: "Oh ok cool, aight" He walks away
I shake my head in disappointment.

 

I love it when I pull up around a bunch of JDM guys and they ask if my car is awd

 

I was leaving class yesterday someone saw my IX, and said, "Thats a nice STI''

sad thing is I still have the evolution badge on it lol

 

OMG this pisses me off to no end.
Pull up the Nissan dealership (2nd time I'm posting about them) for my wife vehicle
Salesman: GSR or MR
Me: GSR
Salesman: tssssk
Me: why?
Salesman: I wanted the faster one but couldn't afford it.
Me: [long stare and walk away] O_o

 

About a month ago I was at the park down the street from me with my son and some kid who couldn't have been more than like 12 decides to talk to me about my car.

Kid: Hey, nice Lancer.
Me: It's an evo.
Kid: Yeah, I know my buddy has a blue Lancer.
Me: Yup, that's my neighbor.
Kid: How much did you pay for it?
Me: Almost 30.
Kid: Oh, that's it?

I'm sorry how much was I supposed to spend? haha kids crack me up.

 

12 year old has buddies that drive?

 

A guy who lives in my neighborhood followed me from the entrance to my house, a good ways, in his beat up camaro:

Guy: The car looks awesome man. You got to sell it to me..
Me: Hmm.. Thanks.
Guy: It's twin turbo'd right?
Me: Uh, no.. It's an inline 4cyl.. Single turbo.. (trying to end the conversation and go inside)
Guy: Oh, you should definitely get another turbo.. It adds like 300hp!
Me: Uh-huh, ok thanks. (still trying to walk away)
Guy: Well let me know before you end up selling it.. I'll pay a lot.. Like 15k!
