Not the usual "I picked up my car today" story - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

that_one_guy · 12-04-2012, 02:15 AM

So I picked up my car today, and who do you suppose was there to congratulate me on my new purchase? Oh, I don't know...only the chief engineer and claimed 'visionary' of the FR-S/86 Tetsuya freakin Tada!

The guy was really cool to talk to, and even signed my dash

EBMCS03 · 12-04-2012, 02:16 AM

Hahah wow! That's cool! Which dealer?

OMG, I would sound like a giddy school girl that is pretty dam epic, probably no one can beat that car pick up story

haha

RAWR BRZ · 12-04-2012, 02:22 AM

Way too awesome... I'd love a signed dash

Bonburner · 12-04-2012, 02:31 AM

Incredible! Congrats on the surprise!

I hope he explained how and why everything works

....Now you sure I can just use regular gas?

That's what my dealer told me during pickup.

Seriously though I hope he's doing this internationally...would love to hear a story from Canada and other regions too. Glad to hear he's a great guy and you had a wonderful experience.

Yup. Pretty sure no one will top that. Congrats!

I would do what I could to preserve that signature

StuAU · 12-04-2012, 05:54 AM

Garage that car and buy a new one.

nzer · 12-04-2012, 05:57 AM

That is the coolest experience! Fantastic.

Moshpit37 · 12-04-2012, 06:36 AM

Man, you need to get a new dash, ASAP! Pull that out and frame it, maybe swap it back in for car shows.

Shagaliscious · 12-04-2012, 06:50 AM

That is so awesome!

Oh, I hope he didn't scratch your hood when he put his arm on it

Burrcold · 12-04-2012, 06:58 AM
