When I first got my car, I was sitting at Taco Bell, and the kid at the window asked me what trim Eclipse I had. It was stock, so I thought noting of it. So I said I had a GST. And he said AWD that's cool, mine is a GS. To which I responded, no mine is the FWD Turbo model. He called me an idiot basically and told me there is no turbo FWD version. That the car came with 2 different setups, AWD Turbo and larger displacement torqueier non-turbo FWD.

To which he then pointed out to his green 95-96 RS (not GS) which was busted and raggedy and made me feel like it wouldn't start. I just nodded and said I was new to these cars, my bad and left.

I had pulled onto Route 2 one night, right after the Lancer was introduced to USDM (not the Evo, which hadn't been introduced yet, just the base Lancer and OZ edition). I pulled up to a red light and this kid in his brand spanking new daddy bought Lancer with his smoking hot girl pulled up on my left. It was a nice October evening, and I had my window down and music louder than it should (just got the car give me a break).

He rolls down his girls window and tells me it's time to get a new car, and stop driving old little girl Mitsubishi's. I am like Double Yew Tea Eff mate? He told me he was gonna smoke me, and that is why fine young ladies such as his would never get into a beater like mine. Hrrrmmm? He said when the light went green try to keep up. I am 19 at this point, and do not any longer condone street racing, but people grow and change.

So I said to him, if I win, do I give her a ride home so she can make it by curfew? This made him mad, but not as mad as she got by it. So the light turned green and I just drove like normal and he in all his one wheel wonder burnout glory of no traction guns it and finally hits traction in mid-seond gear and takes off. At this point I pull up to the next light to their taunts. I said, oh that was you trying to race? I was confused. In that case, re-match? My ride home offer to your female friend still stands. He roles up his window and the light goes green, we launch, both on stock suspensions and tires, spin tire all over the road, and finally get traction, to which point I pop the middle sole digit finger of my hand in the driver side window as I screwed past them.

Next light, he was not so talkative. However, she was definitely checking out my little red headed lady.
 
Haha, was that taco bell on Bald Hill?

If it is I know the car your talking about....its a green 2g RS with a spray painted body shit, i mean kit. :D

People who have no idea what our cars are.... make driving this 12 year old POS worth it.
 
At the place where i was working, long time ago, one guy come through and said he had a 2g nt automatic. I was like okay, mine is in the build for now, and then he told me that he beat some chick with a talon on the highway. the thing that got me was that then he said that having a turbo on the car is going to ruin it. I did not say anything at that point, I was like ok, whatever man. then he proceeded to tell me that he was thinking of getting a civic, to which i was like, good luck man.
 
I thought so...maybe I am the weird one of my friends, those Honda guys usually wear extra down there, like Depends. I guess this is because they are so use to crapping themselves when they hear the low rumble of a 4G63 powered car approaching.
 
I had a stranger pull up to my house while i was outside messin with my car and say, "I'll race you for pink slips if you take off the turbo and race me."

Needless to say I ignored him for 5 silent minutes till he drove off. LOL
 
Got a new one.

An old jerkoff roomate of mine from back in the day (NEVER paid his rent!!!) pulled up next to me at a stoplight a few months ago (obviously before my car was down for her engine swap...stroke it baby...as in my new engine is stroked :p) in his "new" ugly little civic hatchback thing. He rolls down his window and starts talkin' smack about how I never could hang with the "big boys" and how I should have stuck with my POS Protege (never tried to race it...just a daily. That was way before I was into cars). All this time he's revving his ricebox at me.

I haven't said one word at this point. Just silently listening to him rant.

Then he says it. The six words that just get under my skin and make me absolutely insane. "Girls don't know $hit about cars."

All it took was one rev to about 6k, enough to spool that 747 of a turbo I have a little (I effing love you Justin!!) and pop the BOV...dude looked at me like I had just pulled a giant penis out of my pants and smacked him in the face with it.

He just puts his "gangsta' " hat down a little bit, sunk down in the seat and mumbled "great." And rolled up his window with what looked like the ghost of a mushroom stamp on his forehead.

Never said a word then entire "conversation." I just let my little Bishi do <i>ALL</i> the talking. :D

Your stories blow my mind. Seriously. I can't believe how much shit you get for being a car-chick. Me and any of my friends completely embrace a girl who likes cars. Some of us, including me, have girlfriends who are into cars.

Haters, I guess.

I guess. Even my "boyfriend" (whom my fiancee, Jusmx141 hates:p ) gives me tons of shit about my car. But then again, he doesn't know what an o2 dump is for...I got one from the love of my life and he thought it was some kind of intake manifold attachment. WTF
 
I went to home depot with my wife... I needed some help loading some stuff into my... errr I mean my wife's truck. When we leave the guy that helped me load sees my wife get in the driver's seat and says:

Guy: "Whoa whoa wait... you let her drive??"
Me: "Yea, it's her daily driver."
Guy: "Well then, what you you drive?"
Me: "91 Eagle Talon"
Guy: "Anything done to it?"
Me: "A little bit."
Guy: "Oh, I drive an EVO. It runs 11's on NOS and has diamond plate floor mats!! I was going like 150 on the highway yesterday!"
Me: "Cool... :rolleyes: I gotta go."
 
Wait, doesn't everyone with DSM's do that?

All I know is, when that turbo spools, I need to change my pants. I guess you have yours out so you can have something to do while you wait 10 minutes to get up to speed.ROFL

Naw, my car's so pretty I usually have someone to do that FOR me.

Oh snap : )

And LOL, the NT jokes never stop do they?
Atleast it's 2.0
 
Are you sure it is the air brakes? Some of the buses from here have turbos on them, and I bet they are massive.:rocks:

diesels dont run bovs, theres no throttle plate. thats why they dont pull vacuum.:dsm:

Do you come is stores??? Where can I find Women like you??? I am in need of one aha ROFL
 

OMG there are way too many good RETARDED quotes in that...

"12's if you got it tuned right... And you're runnin high octane."
"Evo 9... 13's... it's supercharged."
"They put an aftermarket BOV on it. After that it started to run like shit."
"He used to have Turbo NOS then he switched to the supercharger!"
"Race his ass, Don't be all ####y... Come on!!"
"On a muscle car I'd rather run a supercharger."
"He has really bad supercharger lag though."


The guy in the white shirt talks like Napoleon Dynamite!!
 
I got this one today from a coworker. "You know how turbos come in stages right? Which stage should I get for my car? (ford exploder). He then started blabbering about buying a honda and putting a turbo AND a supercharger on it. Same kid who's jaw hit the floor while giving me a blank stare when I told I've easily got 15+ hours of research for every hour I've worked on a car.
 
ive had too many people come up to me and ask me about my car and tell me its a pile cus its primer and they all have a friend that runs twin turbo civic or ask me how come i dont run twin turbo on my car cus one turbo wouldnt be enough for his stock v-8. ive even had people tell me that their 4.6L dohc has a (1) timing BELT. there is a kid that drives a mistang around town and i swear to you this guy would put nos on a lawnmower if he had half a chance to. ive had a guy tell me that i should swap a new eclipse gt head onto my motor cus it would hold up better than the 1g head i got... i was like wow where do they breed these people?????
