You know you drive an Evo when high class/middle to late aged males check your car out and wonder what it is. (Applied to people who have theirs de-badged). These type of people seem to be attracted to wingless evo's with nice suspension/wheel setup

Mine is wingless and I've had people just stare and stare at the big red Brembos up front. Then they mention something about wasting time with a FWD car. Then I tell them it's AWD and they don't believe me.

I even had one guy actually look. He asked me to walk around to the other side of the car because he didn't know me and didn't want to get on the ground with me standing there.

So I walked around to the other side, he got down and looked under it, and then got up and said wow you weren't lying. Is it fast?

I still have badges... I just removed the wing to fly under the radar for cops. Wing = harassment in Detroit where it's a crime to drive an import.

So I drive a Ralliart but story is funny regardless.

When the 50 year old guy next to you on the freeway tries to turn around to take a picture of your car with his iPhone then almost crashes. When you look at him and laugh he immediately puts it to his ear and pretends to be on the phone

They *say* you can use it with a newborn, but it's a bad idea in my opinion. They do make an infant seat, but its not available stateside, and if you import it and get caught using it, you in for some trouble. Complete BS considering the standards its built to seem more strict than US. My first son is due this month. I went with an infant carrier that can be detached and brought inside without taking baby out, and will probably get the Recaro seat in a few months when it's time, but i cant stress the convenience of the Infant carriers in the first few months... being able to bring baby inside without waking him/her is great.

When you work at a bodyshop and see cars all the time with stuff just sitting on the dash and you wonder how the hell can anything just sit on a dash without flying off every time you take off...then you realize maybe they are just so HP handicapped its not possible.

^ Or, it might be the cheap hard plastic dash that the Evo has that causes even dust particles to fly off when you even start your car LOL.

So, you own an Evo because you have the cheapest POS dash known to mankind that would make even the crappiest car in the world look good by comparison.
