"How quickly does it accelerate?"
LOL I know that feel man I've gotten both of those. I live in New Jersey where people pump your gas for you and one of the attendants was like "What happens when water gets in there." I smiled and just said that's stock ask Mitsubishi.

"Whoa!!"

That's what my 17 month old son said the other day when I got on it in 2nd gear. I almost never go WOT with him in the car so that's the first time I've ever gotten a reaction from him. Priceless moment!!

I've gotten, "That's a sweet subaru you got there."
I looked at them and said,"you're joking right?"
I then explained the difference. Why dont people just ask what it is before they assume what it is. I get the same reaction when people look at my 1972 Celica. They call it a mustang, camaro, or challenger.
Now I had a starbucks guy ask if that was my car. I said, "why wouldnt it be?
Damn it America. Girls can drive Evos too. Then he told me about how he wants a subaru over an evo. I just walked away.

Pulled into a Toys r' us with my mum in the passenger seat. A little boy no more than 5 or 6 standing one stall over says "Nice Evo" as I get out. Couldn't have made my day more.

Tend to make appearances at every local meet around here at least once...

Go to this newly organized one(Bunch of highschool/20ish year olds) And I pull in, everyone there gathers around my car and starts asking whats done to it... (Literally everything that I could have upgraded in my engine besides the block itself has been upgraded/ported etc) I JUST get done mentioned my billet crank and my Manley rods etc. Then the guy asks... "so whats done to the bottom end?" Took everything in me not to say... "Do you know where the crank/rods are on a motor?"

Bring this back.

Gave a friend a ride in the evo today. His only comment was, I think your truck is faster.
(damn you throttle body shaft seal leak)

Why did you buy that massive wing? Why does it make a tornado noise when you start driving? Had numerous people ask me if it is faster than a STi

Oh forgot one thing. My buddy asked me why I don't have the stock gauges. I told him mine doesn't come with them to which he says: "Oh so this isn't turbo?" I go what do you mean? "You don't have a boost gauge so this isn't the turbo version."
