Default My car SUCKS

So I'm coming back from Tahoe down highway 50 and this weak ass 1st gen DSM non-turbo pulls behind me. It was lowered but on stock steelies and missing a hubcap and complete with chrome fender trim. I COULDN'T LOSE HIM. I tried god dammit but my car just wouldn't do. That's it I need more mods and better tires.

Well, you were going *downhill* weren't you? Even the mighty R32 has fallen to the AE86 in the downhill! Try again going uphill in the snow and see how much your car "sucks" then.... and that's saying nothing about looks. Chromed out 2nd gen (i'm guessing) Eclipse <<<< GC Impreza.

Was it Lime Green, with vinyl, and did the driver have sandy blond hair? I think I've seen that one somewhere before...

I said it was a 1st Gen. Sadly I was faster in the straights and he caught up on the turns. It's definitely my cars problem. I used to take that road more than 10mph faster in most places. It was black and driven by a mexican dude and had chrome dual exhaust.

Whoops... glazed over the 1st gen part. Usually it's the 2nd gen ones w/ the chrome wheel wells... (and the mad tight 3 spoke rims, y0!)

You sill have those Azenis Sports? They might be toast by now.

Nope only got my 17s now. I got ContiExtreme Contacts on them. Z rated but last time I EVER buy an all season for the RS. Oh and stock struts with almost 90k on them.

Thanks Matt, that's what I need bald tires.
