It went...ok...They are holding the car for me until tomorrow so I can sort out the insurance and etc...

We didn't go through the trade in process because I left my car at home (so I wouldn't make a stupid decision) so if they can give me what I want then I'll buy, otherwise its next in line.

FYI, car has 40 miles on the ODO, 20 of which I put there on my test drive

oh man, seems like a busy day for you folks good luck on whoever getting their cars, I'm feeling like hanging out at Dave and Buster tomorrow or next Wednesday (Half price FTW lol) so I'm suggesting a meet (more like hangout)

Dang-Lad: dude, that sucks, thanks for the heads up, that drive from mopac to 2222 is nice though so I can understand the temptation.

Hey Dang-Lad. May I ask which part of 2222 did you get busted on? Cause I take 360 every single day, and pass 2222 and that was my first thought on where i want drive after i get my car.I like 2222 in between mopac and 360. I think that is the lovely section. My second road would be Ranch Road 12 from Dripping Springs to San Marcos.

A really beautiful section of road is Spicewood Springs between 360 and 183. (depending on which side you start from) it starts out/ends as a normal 4 lane road, but once you turn off into the trees it becomes a 2 lane hilly road where you low water cross the springs about 6 times. Might not be as technical as Lime Creek, but it looks beautiful.

Well that blows. I've been up 2222 more than 2 dozen times with my FR-S. The car takes those turns so well! I'll be careful, thanks for the heads up.

I wonder if the cop just wanted to take a long test drive. Too bad you cant ask, because that might be considered bribery.

Just heard from Round Rock Toyota that they're going to be able to get a Hot Lava for me through a dealer trade! Said it would be here in a few days... Super excited!

It has BeSpoke in it though, which I don't really want, but I don't think I can wait any longer

I'm out of the running for an 86 this year but to anyone looking for an automatic there is one in temple at Don ringler Toyota it is argento and they're asking $26,858. I don't know if that's a markup haven't been paying attention to automatic prices. It is actually there just got of the phone with a guy named Mike colabella 254-774-6570 or 254-774-6500.

I was just on 2222 today driving a bit spiritedly and then decided to take a turn off to go over Mt. Bonnell. I was coming around a corner, probably going about 40mph, and saw a moto cop sitting on the side of the road. My heart started beating a bit faster, but fortunately as I cruised by him he didn't pursue me. I'm pretty sure the limit is 35-35 so I guess he wasn't looking to bring in revenue this afternoon.

Oh funny thing is that during the delivery process when the lady went over the functions of the car. She said the gas cap is on the driver side, and i said passenger.She was like no driver side, and i said passenger. This repeated about 3 more times and she said "hold on let me go outside and look". Came back and thank me for informing me that it was on the passenger side.

Got my car back to Austin today and got it up to 250 miles already.Havent gotten a chance to take any pictures. But I have to say I got excellent service from Scion of Irving and especially from Bill Vaughn. He was great and I would definitely buy from him again. Came in on his day off to do the paperwork with me and even pick me up from the bus station so I can pick up my car. So if anyone is looking for a FR-S give him a call at 469-446-2003.
