God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
There always seems to be threads "attn: xxx suby" saying "you're giving i-club a bad name". Well, there is no way every subaru is going to be rule abiding citizens. Not mention they rent out RS's and the tourists aren't always driving courteously either.

I hate the fact that was once a very small, close-knit community (which all of us at the time shared the same ideas about his and how to promote Subarus in a time where there were no WRX's or STi's) is now a very large one and there are more idiots out there who just buy the car and do stupid crap like that. Besides...Oahu is a small island and we'll eventually see the same retards again. Add to that fact, I really don't give a rat's a$$ to whoever knows how I feel...not to mention...Alex has said numerous times that this forum is not a place to post about street racing, and I feel that as a comunity we should act as responsible people.
Its great for you that you've done worse...I'm happy you're still alive and you should be too. If idiots want to go really fast in a piece of machinery, apply to the Air Force or Navy and fly jets...

Its great that you are involved in "SCCA activities", I think its alot of fun too..... As for the whole street racing thing, Im not saying I condone street racing but from the story you posted it doesnt seem like alot was in danger. Are you telling me that you NEVER floored your car (or exceeded the speed limit) on a public roadway? If so props to you and thanks for doing your part to keeping the roads safe. If not I don't see the point of such an angry post.

OH HELL NO it wasnt me. Im givin' Cliff a hard time. He is the only guy that gets more pissed off at street racing than me. Oh and I do take it to the track for the monthly AutoX, but instead of racing a Subaru, I race my POS 1987 white MR2. Maybe you've seen it out there...beating up on all but one STi..
Besides, Id NEVER buy anything after MY00 and Joe knows this...I'll post whatever crap to rile him up and he'll know it wasn't me.

Before the advent of the WRX and STi in the U.S., the Subie community WAS exclusive. There were 15 or so on island here and we ALL knew each other. Scubaru can help me on this...

Keep in mind that before the advent of the wrx and sti to the us, the subie community was small why???...because their cars simply had less appeal overall to the tuning crowd compared to what was available at the time. So if you're gonna complain about how Subaru's following got larger as their cars got more competitive and appealing then I really dont know what to say...

Dude...you don't live here and you don't understand what I mean. I appreciate the points you bring, but you don't seem to understand where I am coming from. You are missing my point. The guys here understand what I mean, but you don't. I'm not mad and I don't really care.
You are taking what I say out of context in regards to the Subaru community. I'm not a "Staff Member" on this site because Alex needed a grunt to monitor this forum...I've been a part of i-Club for a while. Besides...you continue to argue with my points which are irrelevant to this topic. I'm irritated at street racing (not "flooring your car on a street once in a while") and the fact he was a retard. That's all I have to say...

overachiever, don't take angry joe's comments too badly, It's just that he doesn't have a subaru to drive anymore...
It makes him jealous to see one going fast
Just kidding. joe.....
But really, It is sad to see so many people racing on the street when there are so little people who come out to auto x or superlap to really pound their cars...
Of course, It sucks to lose to a "seemingly" slower or outdated car when racing on the track due to lack of skill or experience....

Dont get me wrong...Im not trying to defend the wreckless endangerment of people's lives, my original point was that the situation you described did not sound particularly dangerous to deserve such a rant.
My bad for arguing with YOUR points that were irrelevant to the topic. I guess ill stop now hehe
