Hold onto your Fasts, because there's a cool story below, bros!
About a week ago I saw a local MKV R32, white with what looked to be black Khartoums. Nice looking ride, and a fellow MKV, so I gave him a wave, but, as is usually the case with VW owners around here, he ignored my wave because he was obviously a much cooler person than me with a superior automobile.
Anyhoo, a few days later I saw the same car behind me on my commute, as I headed up to the onramp to the highway. YESSS. I hoped he'd want to play. He pulled in behind me at a light.
Wellz, the light at the entrance of the onramp turned green, and I took it easy at first since I was entering an off-camber turn (plus I wanted to go slow to give him a chance to get annoyed with me going slowish) and the guy immediately stuck his front bumper to my hatch, tailgating the shit out of me. As soon as the onramp straightened out I rolled into the throttle and the dude stayed with me for a few moments in 3rd gear, then fell back a lot in 4th gear, then about a buslength into 5th, and further back once I went into 6th. I short-shifted at about 5k in each gear since I have had issues misfiring at 5,500rpm, but I still pulled on the dude pretty handily.
Well, thus ends the cool story. I beat the dude pretty hard, which felt really good since he had been too cool to return the love a few days earlier. :thumbup:
