I was the editor of that paper from 1996 to 1997

Nice to know that their fact-checking hasn't changed!

Actually, aside from that mistake, it was a pretty balanced article. I'd like to see that super-beetle discussed in the last paragraph.

Yea school newspapers are know for mistakes. But what gets me is, isn't the quarter mile time for a stock WRX low 14s anyways? What did he spend 4000 bucks on? 12 modifications to get almost no benefits w/ his quarter mile time... I'd cry if i was him.
