Typically when someone buys a STI they are enthusiasts who enjoy driving a little harder than your average 92year old grandma.
It's funny how people took what I said out of context, I never said I wanted this guy to go 100mph around hair pin turns around mt. virginia, I was just hoping to see the guy atleast accelerate through a turn instead of accelerate into the turn and brake out of it..... I don't drive reckless at all, but I still have fun.
And to the person who was making comments about not being able to push my car to it's potential on the street. I don't think it's a good idea to ever push a car to it's full potential, especially performance cars like ours, because once you are at it's potential you are already being dangerous. But there is still a huge gap between normal driving and it's potential, that is still safe but more fun.........
Also, the person who was asking how I'd like for my girlfriend to drive, I'd hope she can maintain control of her vehicle, she knows how to handle herself in her WRX. I would be pissed if she pushed her car to the limits, but I would also expect her to accelerate through the turn instead of brake.
The person who said something about my tires not being good for handling, one of the reasons I chose the nittos over bfg's or mt streets, they are not nearly as good for straight line draggin, however they are superior to any street tire for that, and they still have stiff sidewalls, and they are pretty low profile at that.... and also, for any stiffness I lost in stability, it made up for it's ability to accelerate harder exiting a turn.
And as for the people who said I'm being an ass,I've done nothing but being disappointed in someone driving a great performing vehicle that the STI is like it's a freaking honda civic VTEC (very torqueless economy car). I think I'm just for being disappointed....
Bat rabies accounts for approximately one human death per year in the United States. Thus, some people consider bats to be dangerous. Nevertheless, dogs which often are considered "man's best friend," attack and kill more humans annually than die from bat rabies in a decade. Statistically speaking, pets, playground equipment, and sports are far more dangerous than bats. Clearly, bats do not rank very high among mortality threats to humans. Nevertheless, prudence and simple precautions can save lives.
