your weird encounter stories etc....

last weekend my cousin was asking when the evo x come out. the mitsu salesman said they will get one in for jan for the preview. well before i went insde a group of kids outside 2 guys and 3 chicks. one of the guys (my age 19-21) just bought a 08 lancer. this is our conversation:

08lancerguy: ''is that the old lancer?''

lancer2show: "yup, its an 05"

08lancerguy: '' doesn't your car come stock with only 120hp?'' (him and his guy friend were laughing)

lancer2show: ''ya its slow i know, doesn't your car only come with 152hp?''

(the guy gets pissed off)

08lancerguy: ''well its faster than your piece of s***, my car comes with a 10yr warranty. why do you have 2 radiators for some underpowered car? does it add 10 more horses and does it cool your engine by -10 degrees or something?''

lancer2show: "no all together it adds over 100 with my turbo and i really doubt it cools my engine -10 degrees. the purpose of that ''radiator'' which is my intercooler is to cool the compressed air coming out of the turbo, as the turbo spins it compresses the air to get a more dense charge of air into the engine, as the air is compressed it heats up. The acts like a radiator and releases the heat to the intercooler which exchanges the heat to the air going past the intercooler. i guess you really dont know much about cars and warranties are for pu$$ys.''

*lets hear some of your guy's stories

i had one guy tell me he had a friend with a turbo lancer that had an AWD conversion kit and was making 400hp.
When i asked for details, he spouted a load of nonsense and surprise surprise he was making it all up.

I was at a stop light when a guy in his 95 mustang pulls up to me and says "is that a subaru cause it looks badass"

Thinking to myself (what the a subaru) either this guy is playing or is clueless.

So I tell him its an evo.

he says what's that

I reply mitsubishi

he says oh really is it fast

Light turns green I drive off

the end.

(I dont know about you guys but people think my car is a subaru all the time.)

Guys at Jiffylube looked really worried all huddled around my engine bay. I go out to see what's up.

Guy, "where's the turbo?"

Other guy, "maybe he took it off?"

me, "Maybe it's not an Evo..."

Another time I took my car to a mechanic and they didn't know how to get my car into reverse. I hopped in my car and reversed put it in first and drove to another mechanic.
