Was doing a photo shoot with some other Evos and a guy with a Taurus SHO comes over and asks, "What kind of Subarus are these?"

 

Was it at least the old-school SHO with the Yamaha engine?
Or was it the new POS that weighs 4400 lbs and takes up a lane and a half on the highway?

 

Lol did you guys at least enlighten him?

 

Had a guy at the gas station comment on my car. He go's nice car man. I reply thanks bud. Then he says I love those dsm's.... I just said yeah.... Me too. Lol

 

Guy at carmeet: i like your volks
Me: hey thanks man
Guy at carmeet: those are clean. Are they legit?
Me: uhhhhhhh yeeeeeeah

 

Another guy asked me why i went with 265 tires instead of 215? Wtf?!!!

 

"what does the X stand for?"

"what does this button do? *presses s-sport mode*" Grins

 

lol this thread made me laugh +1

 

"Does that thing have nitrous?"

 

Buddy points at my VG and asked if that was for shark week

 

Every time my father comes to town and takes a ride with me (granted, I have more HP every time he comes) I have to remind him it's a "two liter four banger". He has a 68 El Camino with a big block v8 crate engine. He swears my car is twice as fast as his.

** And something was really bugging me reading through the first 10 pages of this thread - you guys with MRs who get offended when someone refers to your car as an "auto". Can someone explain this to me? I've never looked into the MRs because they only have 2 pedals, but at a glance there's a P,R,N,D and then a lateral movement to go into "manual" mode.

Call me nuts, but the general idea that you can put your car in "drive" and then just hit the gas most definitely implies "automatic". Am I missing something?

 

I think they mean it in the sense that it's not a normal automatic with a torque converter since it's a dual clutch tranny, but yes, it still "automatically" changes gears unless in manual mode.

 

Person " Why is your car so noisy?"

Me " Because it is fast"

Person " But it sounds broken"

Me " Some of it is broken, but most of it is still fast"

 

Both of these are 10/10. Hahahaha

 

I think he was predicting the future for the new evo XI lol
