Pulled up to an Sti........

and it had some middle aged nerd driving it with grandpa sitting in the passenger seat! Man, I was looking for an a$$ whooping, but no dice. First Sti I have seen on the street, and I wasn't impressed. Looks wise that is. The scoop is just a little too big and the rims on it looked small. 16's, 17's maybe with what looked like a 55 series tire. I dunno, just didn't look right. Thought I'd share

It might be because the middle-aged 'nerd' could actually AFFORD the $31k pricetag of an STI.... oh, and it also might be that the 'nerd' didn't want to play since he knew that you would have been OWNED quite badly.

It's like when I'm at a light and a Cavalier or Galant, etc. wants to go... man, I just laugh and drive on... NO REASON to waste gas.

those STi's are mean cars. 300 hp in a fairly small car will own most of the cars out there. they hit 60 in like 4.8 or 4.9 seconds. very, very impressive - i'd love to race one just to see how fast it is in person though. i'd be like running against a porsche - you know you'll lose, but its so fun to see the other car go ZOOOOM!
