Oh, I saw that same STI the other day that had the FMIC. It's silver, and it was being driven by Mom with her ~5 year old son. It's a REALLY nice STI. Anyone know who this could be?

Sounds like the wife of one of our members (his name's Matt IIRC, I can't remember his handle on the board). Car has a cool hood scoop delete, no?

Nope, not him. I've seen his car before (nice sleeper). He has the black FMIC, right?

No, this STI has a really nice FMIC, silver. Prolly the coolest STI I've seen in Reno.

Matt's STi was trashed last fall in a crazy freak highway accident. Apparently a large shard of fiberglass or some such flew off of a truck and landed right in his engine bay, shredding most of the front end and FMIC. He said that by the look of the damage, it would have skewered him in two if it had gone through the windshield.

I talked to him just a few days after it happened and he said he couldn't stand to post about it on the board, so I never said anything. I haven't talked to him since, so I'm not sure what became of it. It's possible that he got it all repaired.

I thought that accident happened to Scott in the Blue WRX, I'm pretty sure of it.

Damn, I'm not sure now. I kinda slipped through last holiday season in a work-induced daze.

Yes that was the accident that happened to me on freeway last october :( took out my front end and FMIC from a piece of vinyl fence flying off a truck and going over the center divider. Truck was going southbound i was going north. Freak accident as the piece hit my car on the fly and tomahawked my fron end without touching the ground.

Sorry to hear that Matt. I assume you and family are all OK.

sp00ln 2006-04-22 09:50 PM

Wow... and I was pissed about hitting one of those curbs infront of where you park today... Sorry to hear about that. I saw your STI in person, and it was one of a kind.

Leper Dog 2006-04-23 05:55 PM

Man that is intense! Do you have any pictures? Glad you were alright because that sounds like it was scary.

I saw a blue WRX in line behind me at the South Meadows Wendy's drive-thru today around 1pm. I'm only mentioning it because they bounced their motor off the rev limiter a few times trying to get my attention or something. Car was dirty, a little beat-up, lowered, stock wheels, exhaust, dark tint, and had some red/white square sticker on the trunk lid.

I'm assuming they recognized me, simply because it's rare to see a WRX owner acknowledge an SVX. :cool:

M3n2c3 2006-04-29 07:51 PM

Saw a certain silver STi today, with the numbers 13 in yellow still adhered to the side of his car. . . and the last autox event was, what, three weeks ago? ;)

Last Thursday I saw Brandon on I80 while I was out heat cycling. Car looked good with the carbon fiber.

Saw (Evo)Mike in the library today on campus at about 11:30. You weren't with a girl named Teresa were you?
