You know you drive an Evo when...
  • You park miles away so you don't get any door dings
  • You check constantly check on your car to make sure it's okay
  • Take a 10 minute break at work to look at your car
  • Take a lunch at work just to drive your car
  • You get stares
  • People ask why you dropped your car if it scratches everywhere
  • Reply with "Because Racecar" when people ask you questions about your car

To supplement Sev, I had this conversation yesterday.

"why would you spend $10,000 on an already fast, good handling car, with a nice factory audio system?"

"Because racecar"

"oh"

when your redneck coworkers ask you why you spent 30k+ on a compact import piece of **** (true story).

when you beg said coworkers to meet you at any racetrac, dragstrip, abandoned road, anywhere with their camaros to race your compact import pos and they act scary.

1. when your mom is confused as to why you spent 20k+ on a car from 2005 when you could have bought a brand new civic, and then you let her drive it... needless to say, she didn't question the decision anymore after that

2. when you have owned it for a month and a half, and are already having transmission/clutch issues

3. when you are driving down the interstate at 1:30am and and SUV pulls along side of you and gives a thumbs up

4. when your 50 year old female co-worker tells you that she thinks "that wing on the back of your car" looks great

<grin> That would qualify as, "You know you bought a used Evo when...."

You know you drive an Evo when...

...coming out of any store, any day of the week, any time of day, you're always ready for at least one individual standing near the car waiting to ask questions.

- when the easiest explanation of what car it is to others turns out to be, it's a lancer on steroids.

- when you know more than the sales man at the dealer about the car.

You know you drive an Evo when everybody is staring at you as you drive.

you know you drive an EVO when...

-you hate going to the store with your wife/girlfriend because she gets pissed off that you insist on parking at the back of the lot

-you frantically press the info button "PAST" the MPG section

-your not nervous pulling up to a light with a V-8 (insert camaro or Mustang) in the next lane...and then smurk as he peels off because your OK with your ego

-you hand pick leaves off of it immediately

-you go into debt on touchless car washes and cleaning supplies after each sprinkle of rain or go through pooled water (I have PB)

-inspect your side skirts after a girl goes for a ride (they dont read the "Dont step on side skirt" warning which should say "No Heels")

-becoming a meteorologist a week before a snow storm (predicting/hoping for the worst)

-you can't wait to leave for work, then for lunch, then for home, then make excuses to run to the store!

-you tell your wife you had to get the GSR because the MR was too expensive (sorry honey, its a manual..no driving for you)
