Unhappy S550 killed by a Golf

This morning(5 am) on I-94,I was driving a loaner S550 to my warehouse,empty highway, so I was constantly bouncing against the limiter at 130 mph.
From Touhy rd on, saw lights growing in my mirror and sure enough,past Cicero, a black Golf (lowered)glued itself to my rear end,flashing lights constantly and not passing but following my lane changes until I got off at Wilson.
He was just playing with me, since it was apparent he had a huge power advantage.
Loaner or not,still humiliating.......

What's humiliating about that. There are tons of modded cars that will leave an S550 in the dust. The bottom line is that your car is still cooler.

Probably a R32 or just a turbo Golf.

Don't worry, you shouldn't be ashamed. I've seen those buggers modded with 400+ whp.
