Wtf?

I was going to work at 6:30 am, highway was pretty busy. I passed Impreza wagon at about 130-didn't care much about whether ir's RS or WRX-I just wanted to have a coffee before 7:00 meeting. Anyway, this **** was going about 110 at the time.
I guess he felt threatened or intimidated by pretty much stock looking wagon, so he started to race me, tailgate me and block my way, when I was exiting highway. I can be rude too so I basically changed lane INTO him-I am not going to miss my exit.
I know Impreza guys read this board sometimes too-so the message is-why would you want to pick a fight with $10k cheaper car with 100 less hp which just minds its business?

BTW, I always get the last laugh-I believe this dick won't last through winter with road manners like that.

i would bet it has to do with sumthing like they need to feel big so they can justify that extra 10k

Yeah, like he said its in kph.
130 is relatively what?...like 80mph. So thats not too fast. I had to read it twice before I realized it was in kph.

Multiply mphx1.6 to convert. Vice versa. so yeah 130 is 81mph
