Aitch's 2012 SkyActiv Sport!

[Aitch]

For anyone that doesn't know, this week I traded in my 2007 Phurple sedan for a 2012 SkyActiv GS Sport. Apparently my combination is quite rare at the moment; no one thought Velocity Red with auto, sunroof, and leather would be a hot combination.

Grabbed a few quick photos today before it got dirty in the rain. I've got some plans for the rest of the winter, hope they come to fruition by the spring!

No more custom plates?

Congrats!!! Looking forward to the "transformation"

[Aitch]

Thanks guys! Trying to sort out the "orange" problem. That's the only photo that went through photoshop, some places it is orange and some not???

The SkyActive engine can sound a little rough, seems ok when I rev it though. Needs a different muffler lol.

No more custom plates?

Actually never had the custom plates, about to order the ones that are in my new sig though.

Thanks! That's why I put 'sport' in the title! A lot of people don't know I had a Protege5 before my last car.
