Had a WRX want to take me from a roll going down Wildcat in HR one night. Even if I didn't have the car loaded down with groceries, I still wouldn't have tried- for one, he'd smoke me, and two, I just don't do that kind of thing.

Surprisingly, when I was driving my Saturn with all my autox stickers on it, no one and I mean NO ONE ever challenged me. Even though it's a Saturn, it wasn't really "slow". It's faster than my Protege, I know that much.

I had some fun yesterday. A friend wanted to see what the speed3 was all about and after a short little ride, he was convinced his Nissan Altima was not in the same league. Funny thing was after we finished, a guy in a green VW Jetta wanted to play with him, but wouldn't play with me at all.

I hardly ever get challenged anymore... the last car that seemed as though he wanted to play was a new silver BMW M Coupe (330hp I6)... quick car for sure, I don't think he realized how fast the STI actually is.... either way, it was fun playing keep-up, but when he started weaving in between other cars, in a poor attempt to "show off" no doubt, I let him go, as I don't feel as though it's right to endanger other people at highway speeds just to play cat and mouse... although he pissed me off, I was keeping up with him just fine, but he didn't want to actually line up with me, which always disappoints me... lol.

No one wants to race me and I don't really mind it but I kinda miss haveing cars wanting to go for it. I think the last one was that MX-3 I tagged back in Nov-Dec.

Your windows are tinted too dark! Once people realized it's not a chick in your car driving you would probably get challenged more :D

Is it a guy with a silver '94-'95 stang with clear tail lights. There is one that works across the alley from me. It has a loud supercarger on it. I've been wondering what it will do.

LOL.

I'll run you... but I choose the terms :D

Here are your choices for the "terms" of our race that you may choose from:

1. RallyX. Which can be on either dirt, mud, snow or ice.

2. 1/8 mile drag, but only in the rain :D

3. Any type of race in the snow, drag, autoX, road race, from a roll, doesn't matter as long as there's snow on the ground :lol:


Those are the terms :lol:
