sort of surprised that the brz is getting some attention in our state too lol.

I think the market for this car is perfect. Lots of disposable income and people who have dedicated 'winter cars'.

People who want it, know about it and the ignorant sea-gull types won't be able to knock it because nobody will let them drive it.

Agreed. It will be interesting to see who amongst us gets their BRZ first.

Anyone know if any of the Scion First-86 were in Minnesota?

Well, I'm 100% set on FR-S. So far for BRZ' it's you and neutron256. Myself and xrs have deposits on the FR-S. But we can all meet up for sure!

Any recommendations for a meeting place? I was thinking Stillwater might be cool.

[Chupacabra]

And all of the dealers I know didn't get a First 86 winner

Total malarkey.

i'd like to participate in some auto-x once i get the car. it will be my first auto-x event. anyone know when/where auto-x events are held in mn?

I noticed there was one other Minnesotian on the BRZ per-order database thread.

Go to myautoevents.com search for Autocross events, that's what my car club uses.

I will be your shepherd, let me take you to an event Ayau. Sorry if the JC photo offends, but I think it adds to the excitement I had once I read your AutoX enthusiasm.

The one I'd recommend if you're on a tight budget would be the HJC CL-16 helmet. We have them available at my store, but we haven't gotten our new shipment in yet. The cost is about $140 MSRP, but I'll get you and neutron a hookup if ya want. You need a Snell rated helmet and the HJC is the most affordable

If my car gets here, I'll take you out to a Test N Tune...those are the best. If it doesn't arrive in time, we can still go in my tc. I'll keep y'all informed here.

It's where people who have done modifications get unlimited runs on the track or course and have a chance to adapt their new parts without being scored. It's really cool, because people will wrench on their cars and then if they mess up any setting...POOF! off the track. And it's the only time for tandem riding. Usually the events up here don't allow tandem.
