No 86s in the city? - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

harajukukei · 07-11-2012, 01:08 PM

I still haven't seen a single FR-S or BRZ in the wild in Boston. I've only seen the argento FR-S sitting in the Allston Scion dealer's show floor through the window. Where is everybody?!?

I've driven my BRZ in Boston a couple times, but I have yet to see another BRZ or FR-S while there.

I'm around the city quite a bit. I usually park my car in a garage these days -- you hear about all those cars that got keyed randomly in the Back Bay? I don't want to be one of them!

That's weird, I can see it just fine in Firefox... Oh well, it's a picture of Tom Hanks in The 'Burbs

Somerville, I am in Boston proper fairly often. Not always with the BRZ though.

Yeah I just go that message too. Just don't visit the source and you'll be okay.

Yeah, I saw that on the news. The police think they have footage of some woman doing this. But apparently that kind of stuff has been going on back there for years.

Silp3 · 07-13-2012, 12:35 AM

I work in the North End and frequent Back Bay and Financial District quite often. I'm from Revere, but am mostly in Boston. Keep a look out for an Ultranarine Fr-S!!

brzmass12 · 07-13-2012, 12:05 PM

I drove into Boston for the Sox game last Saturday. Will be heading back in for the game on 7/21.

Where in somerville do you work? If you're in the winter hill or Davis square area then you will probably see me eventually.

They are out there - As students start to get them in town, the population will go up dramatically.

Heya Scott, nice to see you on the forums, Hopefully my wheels and exhaust will be here soon

I just ordered an Airaid intake with a dry filter

deadwolfbones · 07-19-2012, 02:39 PM

Hey guys,

I'm moving to the Boston area shortly for a job in Somerville (living in North Reading initially but hopefully moving to Somerville/Medford/Waterville sooner or later) and strongly considering buying a BRZ or FR-S. Part of me feels like this is stupid (I don't need higher insurance payments, I don't need that much car living in the city, and I don't need to spend my savings until I know the job is working out) but of course another, much more persuasive part of me very much wants this car.

I've sent a couple of you PMs already, but if anyone has any advice/recommendations for or against owning one in the city, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

aliciafrs6spd · 07-24-2012, 01:08 PM

I have white FRS, but I live in Newton MA just outside Boston.

Been in a city a few times with it...

2forme · 07-24-2012, 02:03 PM

I'm just outside Boston, but my BRZ will never see the city. Just too risky for cars....

M-17 · 07-24-2012, 02:25 PM

I have yet to come across a random BRZ/FRS, but I'll usually see either one of them every other day sitting at the dealer lots.
