are Evo guys different?

To spend so much time on small 2 litre turbo cars, I see most here are DIY people doing stuff not normally done by the general public, most young guys don't know how to work on cars let alone perform tunes and change engine parts. And most older guys are usually driving around in some family type 6 cylinder soft sedan.
So as an Evo guy do you feel different from everyone else you know?

LOL.

I get some dirty looks when I pick up the kids from school with my exhaust dumping out of my front bumper. The other one is that car cannot be street legal .

DIY is what separates the car people from the posers. Ferrari, evo or a scooter it makes no difference to me. if the person doesn't do they'r own work i couldn't care less what car they own. That was never impressive to me.

However someone spending years to build a crazy street machine takes not only money but commitment, skill and time. This is what I love to see. It really isnt about the car. So no, "evo" guys arnt any different than other car owners. It's the owner that defines the car, not the other way around.

The legit owners are easy to Spot too, it's the cars you rarely see, maybe once or twice if your lucky and they don't soak in stares as other drive by. Then you have the poser who drives every day, taking constant Instagram pics just to boost his/her esteem. These people are laughable.
