Something happened to me recently and i thought i just like to share my story.

While waitingn at the entry of the freeway, the low growl and blue tinge headlights of something sporty rolled up behind me.

I didnt think much of it but the ice blue hue of his HID's were somewhat alluring. I was playing up in my mind what ride he had, it didnt matter i guess.

I took off slowly as i normally do, hit second gear and heard the roar of the driver behind me as he was rushing up real quick. He was gunning it closer and

closer and i anticipated that he wanted to get by fast to overtake me.

I thought, what the hell, gunned it in 3rd and 4th, revving way past my usual grandma shifting. That familiar roar zoomed past my left side and i caught his

rear as we entered the freeway. That rear end that i've seen too many times, 'Corolla', and the stand out words in red - 'Sportivo'.

Hats off, i got owned, he knew it, i knew it.

I sped up within the limit catching him glancing back at me. After a few glances i gave him a friendly thumbs up and a couple of nods to make sure he saw it.

He smiled back and we went our different ways.

Respect is given where it is due.

The Sportivo itself deserves more respect than it gets. Especially when you put one up against an Aurion.
