Last time my wife and I went on a drive, a guy in a 70's camero with different color fenders took off from a light (expressway, 3 lanes each side) and does the most dangerous moves between traffic to take off. My wife looks at me and says, "that was for us, huh..". I say yes shaking my head. I do occasional get good. I guess I should mention those too. I understand it is a rare car, and people are interested. I had a guy in a GTR stop next to me and talk the other day. One of the best was a mini van with about 4 young teen boys. Mom was driving. It was on the freeway. They all had their phones out filming. They were egging me on to jump in it, so I downshifted a few gears and jumped on it. They were all smiles and thumbs up to me. I waved and took my exit. I did it safely; no one around. |

Had a video recently go pretty viral on social media reaching around 10 million views. It was me painting my wheels with dish soap. Had a kid with a STI "build" which consisted of basic coilovers, wheels, and that was basically it. He decided to call my build, "Mid" which couldn't be further from the truth. It is mainly a drift car. Boosted, welded diff, angle kit, dual caliper setup w/sikky hydraulic handbrake, gutted interior, lexan windows, and the list goes on and on. Currently undergoing a K swap. I asked him which type of coils he had to which he replied, "BC's bro." I said, "Well I hope you got the swift spring upgrade with them?" He's like, "I told you they are BC's" Which instantly let me know he didn't even know what tf swift springs were. I explained to him that he can't call my build mid when I literally have better versions of parts that he has. Continues to talk all this shit on how slow my car was blah blah blah. He didn't live far fom me so I challenged him to a run. I said, "I can already see the title of the video now *Shit talking STI owner gets WALKED by a SLOW BRZ*" But he didn't want to run. Had every excuse in the book on why he couldn't run me when at the end of the day, he just didn't want to get beat by a brz. Something about losing to a BRZ hurts so many feelings and thats my favorite part about owning a boosted one. The amount of feelings this boosted k24 is going to hurt is going to be even better.

I had a fun run in with a STi on my commute home from work. Saw headlights appear rapidly from behind after exiting the highway. Had my skinny little winters screaming as I got the tail out on a roundabout and he was on my ass with loads more grip. Accelerated up around the speed limit and moved over expecting him to blow by but he seemed more amused and sort of just cruised around me after that
