Think I might have spotted Lostthebeast/GF's FRS yesterday. My first spotting of one in the wild :-D
I was on Blue Diamond Rd Saturday morning and saw it rolling up to the lights from one of the side streets. Whoevers car it was, it looked great!

Could have been us! We live in Mountains Edge, so - if it had been Durango, Rainbow, Buffalo, Ft Apache, etc, it was us. Or by the 15 interchange I suppose.

Me and my friend were in town for a beer and golf weekend and were heading out to Rhodes Ranch.

Looking at google maps it was probably Durango or Buffalo. I was well chuffed to spot one, my friend who isn't a car guy, didn't quite get the fuss

Sounds right, if so, then we were just going home from getting it washed. We haven't seen any others in the wild yet, except if you count the display model the Scion Reps brought to the release party.

Thanks for posting here that we were spotted! I was wondering if/when it would happen...

My GF and I were talking today about how she would feel if the first time we spot another FR-S on the road, if we were driving my Kia Soul instead of her FR-S. Of course, she said she'd be livid if that happens:

US: "Oh, nice FR-S. We have one too!"
FR-S DRIVER: "Yeah? Sure you do! :rolls eyes:"
US: "No really. First 86 car, the first one in Vegas."
FR-S DRIVER: "Get back in your POS Soul and leave me alone."

Hopefully it's not a forum member!

LOL! That was a good one Lostthebeat. At least when I finally do have my FR-S and a Kia Soul pulls up next to me I'll know what not to do. Really like how your white FR-S looks. I originally wanted to get a white one but just opted to get the silver (Argento) one since I only had a choice of that or black (Raven) to pick from.

Hope one day all the members from this forum from the Vegas area will get together and meet at Cars and Coffee. Now where is that damn truck with our cars so we can do this. Anyways, congrats again on the white FR-S and having the first one in Las Vegas.

Picked up my silver (Argento) FR-S 6MT Today

Just picked up my FR-S today from Findlay. Awesome car!!. Just got done messing with the radio and setting up the tach sweep when you start the engine. Bluetooth phone and ipod work effortlessly. Radio is okay for a stock one although I would have preferred one with sat nav and a reverse cam. The car drives great. Can't wait to reach over 1000 miles so I can finally open up the throttle. Gonna post up pictures later.

Congrats man!

I know what you mean! It's so tempting to go over 4k and unleash the beast (lol) but I gotta control myself and make sure this break in goes smoothly.

Thanks Jayp. Congrats on getting you FR-S too. What color did you get? How many miles did you put on it to date? I've been trying to see how many of us have their FR-S in Vegas. Here's my list so far. Lostthebeat, S1monn, tuxedocartman, Koji_Online, Jayp, and myself FR-S teve702.

So there are six of us, any others? May be a few out there not part of this forum. Anyways, congrats to you again and enjoy the ride....
