Being as how TSL loves to tear apart war stories and I just have to share.......
Had some play time with an STI today over lunch, was just headed home to make a hamncheez sammy when I came across Mr. Monster energy drink himself. I was in my 2002 viggen running my stage 3 tune.
At a stop light, left turn lane there are two lanes. I'm in the inside, STI is on the outside. I pull in just a tad behind him so he cannot see my face without having to twist his head back, and I notice him looking. **Disclaimer** Dude is major bro-tastic, full on bright green monster hat, monster stickers (huge ones too) all over the rear window at a 45* angle and the most annoying monster mud P-flaps. I bet he even had them annoying green monster shoes on all the little bro-dudes wear these days. Light turns green and we make the turn, I just shift into second and hear him tease me a little. I let him get up next to me and give him a head nod to accept his challenge. We both gun it. I'm in second and he stays right on my rear bumper until I try to go to third and grind grind grind away....dammit! By the time I get into third we have changed places and I'm on his bumper now. Give her the beans in third and there I stayed on his bumper until about 90 when I thought enough was enough b/c of speed and upcoming traffic. Dudebro kept on it though, ran the red light and nearly crashed into a semi.....:flipoff: what a douche, gotta maintain some aspect of safety even in Mexico.
I wish I knew more about these cars to tell the exact year and maybe guess at mods, but my quick wikipedia'ing shows it was probably a 2008 STI. I doubt he had any mods, as I assumed he was gonna smoke me anyways. I was also hoping he was going to stop at the light he blew so I could ask him about his car.... maybe he was ashamed about his performance :th_SmlyROFL:
