Im at an intersection, first in line, and i see a bew modded Sti to the left of me, - younger kid mabye my age with a hood and aviators. He gave me a look and took off full speed, I was trying to kill time before picking my girlfriend up because i knew she would be late.


I passed 2 cars out, and sped ahead to finally catch up to him. I was right behind him and we both passed a car, speeding ahead on a main road. We cought up to a light , and put the blinkers on right off the main road onto some back roads. I turned traction control off and started revving the engine.

Light turned green and we both started off and made a quick right turn. His all wheel drive gripped nice as we spun out on some sand, My car was almost completely sideways with the tires spinning, I let off, straightened it out and punched it again. He was about 4 car lenghts ahead of me, and i cought up to him by third, We were doing about 90 on some back road, and i slowed down a bit, and he kept going.

We came up to a corner, I came around doing about 60, he must have been doing 70, i saw his wheels smoking and heard his tires screetching. he was mabye 3 or 4 cars ahead of me as we came up to a slight climbing straightaway, I dropped down to third and floored it and caught up to him, however i wasnt feeling risky enough to pass him. We came up to a nice jetta GLI, and the Sti tailgated him pretty bad. We then both passed him and he floored it also. we were coming up to a red light, and we all started to slow down right as it turned green, and we floored it. The intersection had a bump right before the 4 way, and the kid went RIGHT over it. ALL 4 OFF THE PAVEMENT. - Probably one of the coolest things ive seen on the road. Most dangerous also, and i slowed down and went over the bump not so bad. The Jetta was aproaching, and i wasnt going exsessivly fast, as we approached the residential area, STi kept bolting ahead, and gave us the:buttrock sign. I was now about 15 miles out of the way, but it was definetly worth it.


Also, I LOVE those Stis. I think they are pretty great cars. Also, hell be driving around in a foot of snow when my m3 is nestled under the car cover in the garage as soon as the first flake of snow comes down

I definetly could have passed him, but didnt want to total my new m3. Sti definetly did well in the twisties though.

Why do you have an covered STi in your garage when it's snowing outside?! Go and drive your 300hp snowmobile!:D

Besides, the stock tires are terrible in the snow. I wouldn't risk my car in the snow just to do a few donuts. Hopefully the snow holds off here until I can afford a new winter tire/wheel combo from the Tire Rack. Otherwise I don't know what I'm going to drive since both my cars have summer only performance tires. :nono

Sounds like a fun race. If your gf was with you, be careful! I got into a horrible accident with my gf in the car and she was ok thank god, but I knew if anything bad happened to her I'd never forgive myself :(

So I make sure not to race or performance drive while she's with me, although she likes it when I do it (h)

yeah, my girlfriend wasnt with me, she was taking too long to get ready and i was already on my way so i had a few minutes to kill before picking her up- I never drive overly fast with anyone else, and definetly not my girlfriend in the car.
