Funny/stupid things people say/ask about your Evo!
This actually just happened on my way to work today. Had a guy pull up next to me at a light in an old Lincoln Town Car:
Guy in Lincoln- Hey man nice car
Me- Thanks
Guy in Lincoln- Do you have any mods on it?
Me- Just a few bolt ons
Guy- Does it have a blow off valve??
Me- Yep! (trying not to laugh)
Guy- Well let me hear it!!
Me- Ummm... We're at a stop light... It doesn't really work like that

But since you want to play this game fine. Automatic and Automated by definition do relate, but in reference to TRANSMISSION's they are 2 different things. You also ignored the "MANUAL TRANSAXLE" part.
An automatic transmission is different then an "Automated Manual Transaxle". I can agree that SST is not a TRUE manual because its not, but it also is NOT an Automatic.
CLEARY states it is NOT an automatic. Go on find something else stupid to use in your argument. 100% you will not use any useful information because you have no useful information to use in this argument.

You know what's actually funny is that you completely ignored the information presented.

BUT on to the stories.
My neighbor has an Evo X that is usually always in the garage but on this awesome sunny day which we hardly get in Columbus he had it out.
Anyway so I was walking the dog and another one of the neighbors say hello and starts talking about that "Awesome Lancer" and then he said this:
Joe: You see that lancer? I was thinking about buying one of those.
Me: Yea they're great cars.
Joe: I wonder why he put those rims on it though, must have cost him a fortune.
Me: I'm pretty sure they're stock.
Joe: No way, only those Evolution cars come with those big rims.
Me: Simple math my friend, simple math.
Needless to say he felt like an idiot and ran off because he was "busy". Poor guy he meant well lol

A dual clutch transmission is in fact a "semi automatic" by definition a strict automatic is a single clutch gear box that handles all gears automatically at all times manufactures of all types have been sporting manual modes in automatic transmissions for quite some time to make the car feel sporting and fresh but it doesnt it makes acar feel sluggish. Its no different from shifting from low too over drive in normal automatics dual clutch transmissions how ever have been used in all types of racing its basically what makes the gtr so responsive. With a dual clutch you can hold and shift gears faster than a manual gear box. Not to mention retaining full focus of the road . Its like powershifting without the lag of clutch and row and the fear of missing a gear or blowing youre trans. Gsr owners bash ralliart or mr drivers but the truth is you got stuck with 5 gears which youll row through all 5 in the1/4 mile in stead of 6 gears this generation. My problem is youre like Wikipedia any one can post to it. But there arent always.truths on the site. There is a huge difference between a dual clutch.semi automatic transmission and a standard single clutch automatic. Its like saying a rotary motor is no different from a regular motor or a boxer is noddifferent from a standard inline 4 while they achieve the same over all goal they are different animals all together and to deny that is a horrid deal on youre part if you like a manual car thats fine but dont belittle people that favor a nother method of transfering power personally id prefer a manual if iwas driving back roads but im in the city and deal with rush hour so a dual clutch is what id go for due to rush hour id rather not shift between 1st and 3rd back and forth to work every day

After reading all 119 pages, I have concluded a few things.
If people had bothered to read the thread, they would've seen everyone else saying the same thing over and over already. Yes, people think we drive Subaru's. Yes, they want us to do burn outs. It stopped being an entertaining post after the first few pages.
Instead of looking down on people who compliment your car, even if they are misinformed as to what exactly is is they're complimenting, say thank you, and maybe politely inform them of what they are complimenting. You drive what they call a "niche" car. The general population has no idea what it is. Why not educate them instead of "/facepalm" every time someone has a misconception about the awesomeness that is the Evo?
Maybe I'm crazy, but come on...

WELL DONE
Should've posted something. What's the worst that can happen? The people posting the same nonsense constantly get upset? Your other argument was one of the only entertaining things in the thread
Glad I'm not the only one!

Sorry about my response, i didnt notice you guys moved that to a new thread. I know what its about and i enjoy seeing all the funny stories every morning. Bump keep these stories coming
Something funny I did recently.
Was at the local Wawa parked next to a stock looking Mazda 3. We both got into our cars at the same time. Another guy walked in between us and I heard him say "hey man. nice car." So I look over to give the guy the courtesy nod. Then I realized he was complimenting the Mazda 3. My head was down in shame.
