Sonic's Homepage

Sonic is my 2003 Ford Focus SVT ZX5

The reason for the "Sonic the Hedgehog" theme? There are a lot of tie-ins. The paint color name is actually called "Sonic Blue", I manage a videogame store, and I felt the fast nature of Sonic the Hedgehog fit in well with my autocross hobby. I even created the custom logo of Sonic at the top of the page and have it on the car when I autocross.

Sonic's current state: Over 147,000 miles on the clock in 5 1/2 years. 

Here's how Sonic looks as my daily driver:

I also enter Sonic in car shows from time to time. 

Most recently at the Mid America Ford and Team Shelby Car Show:

But Sonic also gets used as well. Autocross regularly as well as Track days:

Daily Driver - Car Shows - Autocross/Track

Every modification I have done to Sonic was thought out to work well for all three.  Sonic's not a trailer queen, nor a track monster.  He's been designed to be enjoyed in all of the above areas.
