mistaken for an evo?

have any of u guys had your car mistaken for an evo? i have an 04 OZ and i know some people, mostly people who know nothing about cars, have thought that my car was an evo. i also have eyelids on my car to so that is kinda understandable. but it's just funny. i went to the car wash today and i guess they think my car is an evo cause of my exhaust and eyelids, so they cleaned it really good, and they stare at it. lol makes for a good car wash.

people have thought my 02 es was an evo. ive even had people catch up to me to see if it was really an evo and they took one look at the front end and was completely disapointed. i laughed.

my old es looked like an evoVII, it had the evoVII spoiler, evo8 clear tails, but I had konig rims that looked very similar to the enkei rims (not purposely) and I had an evoVII grill with axel back exhaust, people would stare at my car and give me thumbs up, it was a pretty good "wow" factor.

Also every morning I would pass by these lil kids waiting for the bus and they would just point and stare and smile, made me feel good inside.

Now I have my stock RA, they dont point or stare... ... time for some go/show mods, hehe.

rigo aka lookslikeanevo, by far has the best looking lancer (you have to see it in person)... it really does "LOOK LIKE AN EVO".

Yeah, people always assume that my car came with a turbo from the factory when I talk about the turbo I have in it now....gets kinda frustrating when I have to repleatedly tell people the same thing over and over...
