Was a gray EVO X at 54 and Starkey, I'm assuming he lives in the greater Tampa Bay area...

I hope he made it home alive to be honest...
I'm telling you man, gray is the new red for aggressive drivers. Its also the color with most accidents/totals on the forums.

BTW, you should've got his plates. We could have publicly shamed him.

In other news, I drove like a ***** today since I was late for an important meeting.

Should you drive like a lunatic a-hole all the time? No, but that is how my evo made me drive and one of the main reasons right underneath operating costs as for why I no longer own one.

It's a Jekyll and Hyde car. It will make you drive like an *** and you become very impatient with people who are going less than 90 mph.
so true!!!

I've owned an evo 8, my 53yo mother drives it now...
I've also driven the evo x... Yes they do handle well... That's not the point though....

I'm not going to comment or speculate as to WHY he decided to take off and drive recklessly... All I know is it was just that, reckless.

I truely hope for the well being of myself and others that none of the member here follow his bad example. It's very unfortunate to see that kind of immaturity behind the wheel... I don't give a **** if he was faster or if I was. I'm not in high school anymore trying to impress the blonde cheerleader... Why drive like that???

Probably true of any 'affordable' sports car. I never street race but I've had kids in E30's eyeballing me. Puhlease...

I can now say my story- I was driving one night on 287S 65-70mph with almost no cars on the road, when all of a sudden a chevy cobalt with a big wing pulls up next to me honking. He was trying to intake me in a street race, I of course denied his stupidity and just kept my speed, he then started going wot for a couple seconds, then slowing down to my speed trying hard as he could for me to bite, but I still didn't especially knowing that some speed traps were about to come up and I'm not that dumb (never once in 5+ years did I red get a ticket driving my evo) so he decides to find another sucker and goes wot again, guess what happened then? He just went wot passing a state trooper with me next to him. I'm like mother ****er were both gonna get pulled over because of this ****ing idiot for street racing.... The officer went straight for the cobalt guy.

Never blame the car, always blame the idiot drivers.

I had a cobra come straight off a exit ramp and ride my *** and then floor it around me tuesday...

Too bad he didn't spot the cop behind him
