Wagon Wannabee
I was driving from Millilani on H2 and some guys with dreadlocks in a dark wagon were trying to coax me into a race. Not once, or twice, but over and over. First of all, I don't have a lot of patience, but I resisted any temptation. Lately I've been getting revved on and "called out" on the street. Please take it to the track. I honestly wanted to drop it into third and add some oil to my catch can. But I didn't. The holidays are here so be even more cautious than usual.

I
think it was an FXT. I wasn't really paying much attention when he started playing games, and even less after that. I've held my own with STIs at the track, FXTs certainly don't itimidate me (no offense to them though).

I've never been called out in the rex...maybe cause everyone around here is old, a tourist, or an old tourist
EDIT: scratch that, I'm stupid.
1) people always drive past us at our meets, go a ways past us, stop, rev, try to peel out, repeat
2) nutty englishman in a brand new STi asked if any of us at the meet wanted to race for $1000 (turns out the bastard was a pro driver)
3) Mustang drove up to us, teenage girl driving...
Her: "do any of you guys race?"
Me: "haha, not mustangs"

It
wasn't anyone I know, and he obviously didn't know me, as most who do know I have little patience. I don't know about a rastafari hat, but there were some meticulous dreadlocks dangling.
