Boston
 

Just trying to gauge interest in the Boston area.

Somerville here, there will be an FT-86 on my street. :)

This is the next car in line to replace my WRX when it eventually happens.

Without seeing the final production model, I'm going to have to hold off on making a deposit...until I st least see what the BRZ looks like on Sept. 13th. That will give me an idea of what to expect..i hope. I will say that the guy who already made his deposit is a brave soul.

^+1. I was in there Friday, but I am waiting to see the final product and take a test drive.

For me it all comes down to the FR-S and BRZ specs then stack them against the Accord and WRX to choose which one I really want most.

@MannyO
Clearly the Toyobaru is gonna have better weight management vs. the accord. I'm just saying as a cautious buyer when all the general facts are finally displayed I will choose which I'll favor most then proceed on from there to see how they perform. I don't plan on tracking either Subaru or Scion right from the start and the Accord (4cyl. coupe) I simply like as a casual car thats all.

I know what you mean. The lack of info is maddening but on a lighter note, there's only 75 days left until Tokyo :happyanim:

idk if that makes it feel closer are farther away lol

1,807 Hours sounds like an eternity so we'll just leave it at 75 days haha

Haha, ok, sounds good to me. I just hope this car doesn't disappoint.

It's a good thing that the NFL didn't cancel there season or I have nothing to take my mind off this car once in a while.

^^I have a feeling it won't disappoint.

Just let Falmouth Toyota know about my interest in buying an FR-S, they are gonna call me about a pre-order after the Toyko Motorshow when they get more info and I finally decide if I'm gonna get one. :) I'm so excited.

Falmouth huh? That's a hike from Somerville. I'm assuming that's where you bought your Tacoma?

Aye, I used to live on MV with my parents a long while ago back in 2006. I loved the way Falmouth Toyota treated me during the purchase of my Tacoma and the subsequent warranty replacement of my transmission that I will not hesitate to drive down there to purchase my FR-S.

Sup all-
Old school Toyota/Scion fan here counting the hours until more information on final specs are released. I've been in the forum following updates for what seems like a friggin year. Can't wait until next summer when these things are burning gas!

Only issue is, I have to pick which MR2 to sell in order to free up space in the garage... my wife is going to kill me!

If only we could all be so lucky as to have so many toys. :burnrubber:

Also I know it's been a few month since you joined but Welcome!

The4KBeast, I havent seen that UN in a while, LOL.

For those guys asking about preorders and what not. My dealership is still taking preorders, Wellesley Scion. 781-239-6708 is my direct line. Shoot me a call or stop by the dealership and ask for me, Ted.

Thanks for the welcome. I use this UN on a bunch of forums... Where else did you see it? Lol

^^^LOL, your like all up in my youtubes!

You found me on there, eh? Stay tuned for another vid that's in development from a recent Scion event!

Nice to see a lot of Boston people here. I day dream about getting this car, and then my day dreams are rudely shattered when I imagine driving it down the the decrepit, suspension destroying roads we've got here.

I guess I'm gonna have to keep my Impreza alive, cuz there's no way I'd take this car out to be sand and salt blasted in the winter.

^ You think its bad over there then you haven't driven through worcester. This city is so damn lazy.:mad0259:

Every city has its share of bad streets. Some more than others. It's no picnic around where I live so I'll be keeping my current DD for winters also.

You think Worcester is bad...I lost a wheel bearing on my TRUCK to the streets of Somerville...freakin thing fell apart on the bearing press when I went to go press it. Blew out the bearing in a massive 8" deep pothole on Temple Street before they repaved it. I knew exactly when I did it too...I could hear the difference in sound, all the sudden there was a huge thump followed just a loud humming. I was pissed...

Up until this year, Somerville hadn't repaved any of their roads in more than 10 years. Many of them are still terrible, especially in the Union Square/Sullivan Square area. My alignment has gone completely to shit. I'll be keeping the truck for winter driving and for work. The FT will be a warm weather car and mostly for use on the highway.

^ Damn, that sucks man and this is why I can't wait for the day to live somewhere better.

I love Somerville, just hate the roads. Great town, shitty DPW, although now they are actually doing something about it...I've seen more road paving in Somerville in the last year than I think I have ever seen in my 3 years of living here.

Pretty much any town around here has really sucky roads. Newly paved roads don't seem to last more than 3 or 4 winters around here before they need patching.

What we need near Boston is a racetrack :)

Years ago there was talk about converting the old worcester airport to a drag strip... but alas that was turned down by the city...

:word: I've noticed that once they're freshly paved, within a few months there's always some kind of work done on roads whether its upgrading water/sewer pipes or individual residences switching to city sewer from septic. The patches they put in those spots never make it through a winter with the frost heaving ans plows.

Well that would've been awesome. Still a little too far west for my liking but it beats trekking up to Epping, NH. It would probably get more activity than it does now as a functioning airport! :bellyroll:

Definitely...I don't even think any planes fly out of there anymore :bellyroll: There is also a pretty decent car culture in the Worcester area, I have a bunch of friends out there.

Na, at first yeah it was all about Worcester to Florida. Then that died out, but it has been pretty busy up there now. Especially after some movie production came in and shot some scenes for Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in the airport.

Weren't they going to make a racetrack at Fort Devens or someplace out there? Do they still do autocross out there?

They sure do :thumbsup:

I do autocross in RI, but I have heard good things about the Fort Devens autocross. I will need to check it out some time.

Just joined the site and checking in. Providence RI here, but since I am in a black hole of anything remotely resembling passion about cars, I typically have to lurk out to MA or CT to find others :)

Welcome to FT86Club, Yenadar!

Probably should mention that I'm considering a BRZ as a replacement for my 99 Miata. Pending test drive of course. It would have to blow me away for me to trade my 05 RX-8 for it (paid off, 92k, going strong, $87 a month insurance is the only cost)

Wont consider a Scion or Toyota option, personal issues with them prevent me from being willing to send them any money, even if that was the better clone.

:bow: I can only dream of having that low of a monthly payment haha
