Re: I Wish I Didn't Care About My Evo.

I had this happen too! Damn, I guess it's life. The same day I had bought my '93 TSi I was cruising town at night after a car show. A subie hatch/wagon with big Factory Subaru decals on it came behind me all fast engine-braking as soon as he'd get close, etc.. I didn't play with him in town, I took him out to a straight in the country, let him catch up and get beside me. I was new to these turbo 5 spd cars too, so I was in 2nd about 20mph and just hammed on it. He floored it too and I already had 2 cars on him in no-time. I was going about 110 and shut down. It was night out too so I was kind of scared being a small guy and all. I then made a U-turn and was about to drive away. The driver had his head out the window and was saying something. I ended up bottoming out a bit and ripping off a shield for the downpipe, he drove side-by-side and helped me find the shield. He said he didnt to get on it because he had 1-of-a-kind stickers.. I was scared because he was clearly an old man in his 30's and I was ~18 @ 140lbs.

It turned from being harassed, to a street-race, to being scared of getting my ass kicked from a old man, into helping me find my shield.

Your story was scarier though, (Original Poster Dude). I think if I would have tried to peg it and get away my car would die and I would be laying under a bunch of ...dudes. Or using the aluminum baseball bat in my backseat.
