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 216,000 miles on the clock in 8 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 2012 Claremore Bluegrass and Chili Fetival Show:
But Sonic also gets used as well. Autocross regularly as well as Track days:
Daily Driver - Car Shows - Autocross/Track
