    Homeless Guy droppin' EVO Knowledge

    So I was getting lunch today during work and at a stop light a homeless guy comes up to me, puts his sign away, and asked me for money...NOT! This guy started complimenting me first by saying Nice Evo brah! Then he proceeds to ask if it was a 6 speed, MR, and talked about how it does 0-60 in under 5 seconds. I was kinda blown away, haha. I guess I would do the same if I were in his position...I felt bad I had no cash to give him though.

    Wanted to share here since I figured you guys might appreciate this story :)

    Well, been homeless doesn't mean he doesn't like cars or could know about cars. With current economy situation and few bad decisions, anyone can be him too. For me wouldn't be a surprise due some homeless currently use Starbucks to get internet, read, see videos, and stay in touch with old friends. I hope the best who ever is under that situation. Nice to read this kind of stories

    keenooo - he was pretty young, maybe late 20s. but he did look homeless

    evo_jfa - no doubt man. It was a good reminder to always be grateful! I was glad to see he had such a great attitude as well

    mike - i'll go back and give you some change once you give me back my trunk! :P

    He probably owned an evo and it made him poor, you know with mods, repairs and such
