apparently nissan is so impressed by mitsubishis lancer evolution they decided to make a variation of it. the nissan lancer evolution. i dont know when it first appeared. maybe the local NAPA salesman could tell me.
i went in to get a universal engine block heater. (since my beloved has to sit outside in sub-arctic temps) anyways, he looked around for about 10min trying to find this damn thing and finally got it. then when im paying for it, the conversation goes like this....
salesman A- what car are you using this on?
me - a lancer evolution.
salesman A- oh ok.
salesman B- whats it going on?
salesman A- a nissan lancer evolution.
salesman B- does that have a metal oil pan?
me - yes.
salesman B- cuz you know some of these new cars have plastic oil pans.
me - no its metal.
salesman B- is it steel or aluminum?
me - does it really matter?
salesman B- well it might not stick as good to the aluminum. steels better for the magnet.
me - ok ...well if it doesnt work youll see me in the next 30min.
it went on for another 5min asking me if i would be leaving it on since some people do. but it depends on if the car sits low. which of course it does and i explained that to him and told him id be removing it before i go down the road. i realize not everyone knows what car this is but i had to hold back from laughing so hard when the guy said NISSAN. :2funny:
