I had a guy tell me that. I felt like telling him "dude its not a Honda" im not bashing on Hondas it just that some honda owners think nitrous is the solution to everything.

So far I've never heard of an Evo running nitrous so lets keep it that way

Me: I just need the code cleared in my car. My tactrix cable is at home.
Autozone guyafter checking code) Oh that cant be cleared.
Me: Sure it can.
Autozone guy: Nope that's a rear O2 sensor code. You can't clear that, you need a new one.
Me: No I don't. I have a test pipe and I don't have one. It pops up when I blow the EGR hose.
Autozone guy: If you dont have a rear o2 sensor then that's why you have a CEL you need one.
Me: Look, just clear the code please.
Autozone guy: Whatever you say. This is a nice Galant though.

Few of those have been mentioned in the thread.... Still I feel the best is

"My boy has a honda that runs (insert insanely fast 1/4 time here) and will stomp you car, but the motors out of it right now"

this elderly lady at the gas station walks up to my evo, starts massaging my vortex generators and the asks, "are these just for decoration?"

I say no and breifly explain their purpose. she nods in approval and says "hey... makes sense to me!"





just yesterday a guy in a really old suburban towing a lawn maintenance trailer stops next to me at the light. He motions for me to lower the window. When i comply, he says "when the light turns green, I'm going for it. he was dead serious
