Guy was cool enough to roll down his window beside me and give me a, "sweet ride," nod afterward, eventhough I quickly started walking on him.

So is your FCM in yet? Was it a good deal? You need to fall in love with the Speed again and forget about Phenkus. The Speed is a good car it just needs TLC and a Mod fund.

I didn't know that Audi made a TT RS. I must say that it looks really nice compared to older TTs. I moved over for him to get past me and he slowed down when he passed me. After he passed I got in behind me. We were doing about 65-70 and I was in 5th Gear and he floored it as did I. Well I barley started to gain on him. If I had known he was gonna floor it I would been in 4th instead. I looked up the specs on the car late last night when I had remembered about the encounter.


I don't think this could have been a real TTRS because according to Audi USA's website it isn't available stateside, only in Europe. It could have been a TTS though.

Shit Chris you may be right. I just saw the TT with the Red Badge and an S. Looks like the RS has the red badge and RS. Either way I pulled in 5th on him.

Thanks for spoiling my kill. :(

He is putting down.

jimmy did it have the wing or not? that looks like the biggest/easiest way to tell the difference between the two models...

It had a wing. But I do not remember if it was the stationary wing or the retractable wing.

I get significantly fewer challenges in the wagon than I did in the RX8. I have no idea why.

You won't believe what challenged me today.

One of these:

Kia Spectra SX. Had a custom grille, and the dude was running a DASHAWK...WTF?

I started out from an intersection nice and easy and then this guy's motor revs high. His GF is looking over at me. I increase speed a little, he matches.

So I dropped a gear, floored it, and watched his GF turn and start bitching at him as I fly away.

Then I LOLed a lot.

WTF? It wasn't a teenager, either. Looked like he was in his 30s.

LMAO..... Today a guy in a WRX didn't want to try and run with me after he heard my BOV. GF in the car with him. I tell you the one day an WRX or STD, I mean I, is next to me and the road is open they decided not to play.

I usually always see several in a day and they are allways driving ghe opposite direction, I am next to one but not in the 8, or I'm in the 8 and next to one stuck in 5MPH traffic on the highway. Oh well, some day I will be able to check that box off.

Yeah, I won't be able to check off an STi for a LONG time. It's so hard to find one that's stock, too...

I still need to get in a run with a newer STi. Every time I see one it's the same as GR-8, I'm either not in my MS3 or we're stuck in traffic.

That's what I'm afraid of, one not being stock or close to. Like that older Evo VIII (I've decided it was an Evo not STI/WRX) that annihilated me.

I see STis all the time. I can never get a matchup because I'm hiding in an alley, hoping they don't see me.
