New ride, SVTF stays in the family

Well it happened. I picked up my new car this week, 2008 STI Aspen White, Stage 2. SVT focus is going to my father for a daily driver so I don't have to fully part with it. So far I'm greatly enjoying the STI and cannot wait for winter to put the snow tires on!

If only the 2012 ST was AWD... I would have waited!

Those are awesome cars... I would totally love to drive one of those someday.

Say, I've got a question about your old wrecked Kona... is it my car?

Arsenal741 · Tue Sep 13, 2011 10:59 am

I wouldnt think so. It was totalled in 2008, front was wrecked pretty bad, I would have guessed it was parted or flattened.

Oh yeah, that's not it then. My Kona was totalled (but not badly) by a former mnfocus member, but I've never known who it was. I've had the car since 2005 though

Oh, come to think of it, I think I met you at a meet once... Yours was an auto and you wanted to do a manual swap, right?

Red tails is a must!

White, good choice...hahaha

Arsenal741 · Tue Sep 13, 2011 9:58 pm

No my Kona was a 5-speed. loved the color of that car.

White was a must for me! I have red sheets of laminx on the way, now to be patient enough to get them on right! stock tails are hideous on these GR hatches...

It makes you think, "Who thought the clear tailights were better then red?"

ricer kids across America after F&F came out?

turns out they were wrong...

so wrong... I never thought I would have to make tail lights red, but I've never been keen on modifications that reduce visibility/safety.
