a early morning run w/ STI & Legacy GT

i had to get up early in the morning on saturday becuase i had to take care of some business in seattle.. after i worked for about 3 hours, i took off for home at about 8 o'clock taking I-5 and switching onto I-90 (dont know if u guyz are familiar with these highways.. I-90 has a 3/4 mile long 4 lane floating bridge) and when i switched freeways, this Blue STI pulls up behind me and starts tailing me.. there was no traffic, the sun was out, and i said "why the heck not?" and i stepped on the gas a little more agressively.. The STI though pulled to my right and started lining up with me while we where going about 70.. i punched my CL and we where off.. i gained about 1 car length from him, and in no time we where at the bridge.. THE I-90 BRIDGE.. (so perfect to speed on.. no traffic)
here is a pic of the bridge:


half way across the bridge, i was going about 110, and he pulled in front of me.. (so he mustve been going like 130 or something!! i pulled a granturismo move by following close to him so i could gain more speed.. i passed to his left, and i had the lead!! after we crossed the bridge right infront of me was a white Legacy GT... no plates... it was brand spankin new!! anywho.. he started to run with us.. so me, STI and Legacy where going about 130 the whole way weaving through empty lanes.. haha.. i wish someone had a replay camera..

i dont really know who won the race.. STI and Legacy both got off the freeway before me.. so technically I won!! LOL.. IN YOUR FACE SUBARU!!

anywho.. it was really fun..

im looking forward to meeting those two again one of these saturday mornings

edit:


except white ^ and not european.. lol

The legacy looks sooo much better than the STi. Take away the STi's engine, and you have a weeny lil 4dr with ugly wheels and a big ass spoiler.

However, I saw a black STi with diff wheels the other day, it was pretty damn good looking except for the fact it just got rear ended by a Land Rover.

He wasn't racing you after he passed you. Good job using the NASCAR drafting technique though... like that'll help you catch him while he's going 20 MPH faster than you at 100+.
