On the lookout for a STi in San Diego with damage (hit and run related)

i went out to sunrise highway (in san diego/socal) to run it and take more pictures after last weekend with my friend on his bike.. well we were out there, on the first run, we ended up meeting another guy on a bike, so he we hung out with us and did runs too.. (me in my R, ben the guy we met, and andy, my friend on his bike).. so we were doing runs, and i was taking pictures of them.. then it was my turn for a few runs.. andy was going to take pictures and ben was going to ride with me.

so we go do 2 rounds.. and he was LOVING it.. anyways, we pull up and talk to andy for a minute, to let some slow truck get farther up, and then i take off again, up ahead i can see an STi coming down the hill, and we were about to hit a turn, and i see this evo come out of it VERY VERY wide.. straight at me.. in my lane.. i like "oh ****" and ben is like holy f*** and i slam on my brakes, the STi comes at me, and doesnt even try to stop, he tries to swerve around me, and sideswipes me.. i stop, pull off the road, and the STi takes off and never looks back. we run back to where andy is at and were like yelling at him to go catch the STi, so we get to the bikes, where they left them, and ben gets on his bike and takes off.. STi gets away.. he had a good 5 minute head start..

so basically.. hit and run.. whole left side is gone.. insurance place is calling me tomorrow

Dang man, that really sucks. Good luck with insurance, considering they make you pay in a hit and run if they can't find him. (I've been in a hit and run before)

What color was the STi, year, any obvious mods (I know that he just flew by) but maybe you got a chach to see wheels, hear exhaust, etc? Were you able to get any of the plate?

Really Lame!,
glad you are O.K. Looks like things could have gone much much worse by the looks of the skid marks., Hope you catch the Beginner/IDIOT driving the STI.!!

He said they were either bronze/gold wheels, car looked pretty new.. (it has red tails in the picture so it may have been a 04-05 (or might've trunk swapped)...
The STi owner came out of nowhere in broad daylight and side swiped him...
The STi is white .. the driver was probably early 20s.. white, light brownish hair i think.. and had glasses...
Also if you know him tell him to come get his white mirror cover as it is with the integra owner
