@stephenhui: I think you have the highest Internet-to-real-life toughness factor I've ever seen. But don't worry, I'll give you another chance to tell me off in person, and this time I'll bring a camera. Read more

@stephenhui: Let me jog your memory: "Please, I just want to drive, I don't want to talk to you, please, please, please, please." Topeka 2007. Thanks for playing, you punk bitch. Read more

I haven't read the whole thing... but "PedalFaster" is known dipshit/Internet tough guy Stephen Hui, who ran his mouth to me so much on the Boxster forums three years ago that I had to put him in check, personally and physically, at Topeka. Read more
