I would say this is a fairly accurate assessment. The town I am in has about 130,000 people. The only one I would see was a blue FR-S that is actually in the same parking lot my 10-series is in. He is with a different company though.

In the last 6 months since leasing the 10, I have noticed multiple BRZ-Premiums and as of lately, also multiple FR-S to include a Whiteout version this morning I hadn't seen in my part of town before. Word is definitely getting out about how fun the car is to drive.

Seeing a few of our cars here and there doesn't mean they are common. How about counting the number of accords or minivans on your daily commute? The twins just stand out

Love the tailights in your sig. What in the hell kind are those and where can I find 'em?
They are Valenti Taillights, and you can also buy the matching bumper light. They come in four different options.

Buy them from www.modbargains.com.

SoCal Torrance here. I've seen one other BRZ than mine once. The entire city is littered with lots of FRS though due to Toyota Sales HQ being in Torrance. I've seen middle aged moms drive one

I'm so glad I got the Asphalt. I see at least one FR-S every other day and mainly it's a Whiteout or a Red one. I've yet to see one like mine or as nice as I have mine . The majority are stock.
