man i thought i was weird for doing this

i have a swiffer duster underneath my seat even my gf makes fun of me for it.

you know you drive an evo when you go to a full service gas station and you don't let the attendant pump your gas because no matter how many times you say PREMIUM even the octane grade! they would still try to press that regular gas button!

Finally, a normal person. I have carried a bag of detailing supplies in my cars for years and years. People think I am weird, but there are airborne contaminants whether bird poop or tree sap that can ruin one's day. The good thing is that I passed this on to my son who now carries a detailing bag in his Evo. And, isn't it funny how birds seem to target nice cars?

back on the topic:
you know you drive an evo when instead of braking on corners, you step on the gas.

You know you drive an evo when your sitting at Taco Bell and either two things happen; Fat chicks yell out there Grand Am at you or little kids in beat up civics/accords stare at you and rev their engine...

Hey Sorry, I don't mean to go off topic, but where in Ontario do you do that???? I would love to try that, but being in Toronto... I am blind to those places

Thanks in advance

When you try to take an offramp at 90 because the Evo is a supper-uber-cornering beast, out of controll you flip your car, and then call your daddy to come fix things. Did I mention your 17 years old? :-P

YOU KNOW you drive an EVO when suddenly during dinner with your girl your mouth turns into an HKS SSQV BOV....and your pushing 30psi at the dinner table in public. All day. Running low 11's with your fork from the pepper shaker all the way to your plate with the BOV going off. Imao shoulda seen the waiters face....
