Ohhhh he killed an SUV with over 1000 more lbs, and oversize mud tires on oooooooooo impressive, glad he bragged about it! Just goes to show I was right with him till third.

He couldn't go half the places you can, and your vehicle is much more versatile and much more unique, so don't sweat it. Kinda sounds like he thinks it could have been kinda close without his "new parts". And despite the nastiness, it sounds like he kinda maybe liked it just a little - the sound comment, the fact that he wants to know more about your VX. There's certainly no shame in losing to a WRX, and like you said, he didn't walk you until third. What you said reminds me of a Subie I saw with a tag reading SUVETR. I mean really - for the most part, is that really saying much? If we were way lighter, our trucks would suck and break because of the sacrifices made to get them lighter and faster. Racing only proves you're faster, not that you're better.

A WRX running around racing SUVs?!?! What a joke. Shouldn't he be racing vehicles in his own class? I think the fact that you kept up with him until third says it all. I want a supercharger!!!

I guess I'll chime in on this thread too. It's simple - kpaske is an abreviation of my full name. I never have a problem with it being taken when I sign up for different sites, and well, I've been using it for years. There actually is a bit of a story though... Back in the day, before the Internet, in the days of dial up BBSes, although many people used aliases, there wasn't as great of a need for anonimity. In fact, there was a bit of a movement for some of us to be open about our identities because it created a sense of trust between those who didn't feel the need to hide behind a handle. I guess using the abreviated nickname was my way of revealing a bit of my true identity without exposing myself completely. It actually still provides a good deal of safety - whenever I get an email or snail mail address to "K" or "Mr. Paske", I know it isn't from a company or site I trusted enough to give my full name to!
