Take a test to get an EVO?

My friend's boyfriend's little brother just got an EVO 8 and she said he had to take some kind of test before they would let him buy the car. Has anyone heard anything about this? She also said that you have to let the car sit for 2 minutes before you turn it off. That sounds a bit weird, too. Anyone know if this is true? Just curious.

Thanks,

Voiceofid is an unknown quantity at this point
letting the car sit is usually good for the turbo, so the engine will replenish the oil inside the turbo instead of letting extreme hot oil bake inside the turbine. many turbo cars buy a turbo timer (where it enables the car to stay on for a set ammount of time after you pull ignition) to do the job.

test.. never heard of it
