Default 08 STI vs. Evo IX

I was on my way home frommy boys houseearlier today doing 75mph on the 57 freeway bored as hell[&:], when a brand new STI (still had the paper plates) hops on the freeway and immediately starts trying to race me. I wasn't really in the mod so Ididn't biteas he took off, I end up behind him both doing 75mph and about 5mins. later I see a white car just flying up behind me (scared the **** out of me I thought it was a CHP[sm=insomnia.gif]), turns out to be an EVO XI. Hepulls next to me as to race me but sees the STI and catches him instead, they scream back and forth for a while and finally launch at 75mph I was to lazy to downshift so I just left my car in 6th gear and got on it just to get a closer look at the action.I got to115mph (don't know what speed they went to)and the STI had the Evo by 1carI was about 4carsbehind the Evo, it was a pretty even race and both cars looked stock.

After I slowed down (back to 75mph) the Evo slows to be next to me, I look over and he and his buddy are laughing[sm=WTFsgign.gif]and looking over at me. I let it get the best of me so I look at him and point forward he nods and puts up 3 fingers, I nod back and he starts honking I launch at 6000K in 3rd(75mph)and instantly pull 1 1/2carsand pull another 2by the end of third before shuting down. Iwait for them but they just drive by without even lookingover[sm=laughat.gif]... It was a fun time[8D]

BTW, I was driving the Slowbra

I can't say it enough. I hate the new STI. F'ing hate it. I know they run good, but I just can't get past the station wagon looks.
