umm
Speed3

sti

they look similar so I would say tell your friend to have his eyes checked ;)

evomike · 11-14-2009, 01:11 PM

My vote is it was a sti

madgripyo · 11-14-2009, 11:45 PM

he said it had the 2.3 mazda badge right below the sti badge. and he made a point to explain that it wasnt the speed version.

although they do look a lot alike, i agree. he told me about it like he saw a ghost, haha.

some of the dumb crap people do to cars.. i wouldn't doubt your friend.. lol.

den9 · 11-15-2009, 01:15 AM

i never realized they looked that similar, right down to the wing

Your buddy doesn't need his eyes checked, I saw this wretched excuse for a vehicle parked on the corner of East Morton and Webster streets (across from pantry one) a month or so ago. Frankly I didn't think any of my buds would believe what I was describing, so I took the liberty of taking a photo . . . vuala STi edition 3!

doug · 11-15-2009, 02:19 AM

it exists!

captainhook · 11-15-2009, 02:27 AM

I'm sad to say, it does absolutely exist, lol. The day I saw it I was praying the owner would approach it while I was taking a pic so I could ask him about the STi swap. . .

Does that Pantry 1 sell eggs?

hootiehoo442 · 11-15-2009, 03:39 AM

SpEcRv9 · 11-15-2009, 03:41 AM

my favorite is when people "upgrade" their stock wheels and they go smaller/worse than the stockers.....

He comes to my work to get his service done to the car. I saw it and almost pooped a brick. I was tempted to pry the STi logo off while it was on the lift one day.

Asif22 · 11-15-2009, 04:45 AM

The mazda 3 and Sti do look similar.

Maybe the owner thinks it's an Sti? hahahaha

JST2KWIK · 11-15-2009, 05:03 AM

OMGz Turbo · 11-15-2009, 08:26 AM

Speaking of which...

-Honda Civic with V8 Magnum badges (also had Laramie SLT)
-Chrysler 300 v6 with AWD HEMI SRT8 badges
-S14 with caddy badges

My personal favorite, and always will be, because it's true, is an 05 Saturn Vue v6 with VTEC badges. (the engine is a VTEC Honda engine, so it's amusing)
