raven is good if you have a place to wash it often. Can't go wrong with any of the colours though.

I picked up my Raven (MT) FR-S last Tuesday, this is my first new car; I've been driving a '91 GMC Sonoma since 2006 (my first truck) so this is quite a change. I've been visiting these forums for over a month reading about all you experiences and I'm glad to finally be able chime in on some of the topics with my own. Also, yes I still have the Sonoma.

Just signed for my Whiteout FRS today after a week or two of waiting for a 6 speed to get here from Toyota. (seems kinda crazy for a dealer to have 6 AT's and 1 MT) anyway, i signed for it, shes mine and once all my goodies are installed (i ordered mine loaded) i can pick it up. Looking like Monday - 3/4/13

I got a wild hair up my ass on Wednesday and decided to check dealer inventories for BR-Zs, and this one dealer had two 6MT Limiteds listed. I call them up and apparently they had just arrived that morning; one was a canceled preorder and the other was meant for a dealership that had closed.

So I left work early and bought one.



I fucking love this car. I've modified and open-tracked S4s, M3s, RX-7s and Mustangs, and this little guy is already more fun than those (although probably slower, for now).

Hey! Just got my Whiteout FR-S last Sunday from South Coast Toyota! (SoCal peeps, I'm sure you read that and sang the radio commercial...Don't lie.) In any case here you go!

I've named her Roku Shirohachi...LOL.

Hey all. Wont be here for a while but have a black FR-S w/ the TRD exhaust on order.

Considering doing a yellow vinyl wrap and some new wheels but might just land up opticoating it and calling it a day. Got a long time to decide so no rush though!

Hello, all. Got my Asphalt FR-S last Saturday from Ventura Toyota. My first new car and I'm very happy with it! Drove it through Placerita Canyon/Little Tujunga near Sylmar today -- it handles well.

Hop-up's will just be a second set of wheels and tires for track days.

Hey guys, I'm Drew. I won't be an FR-S owner for about 6 months, but I am truly in love with them. I went into the local Toyota dealership a week ago, and test drove a 6-MT hot lava FR-S, and that was the end of it.

Currently drive an 04 WRX. It's been great to me, but I really just want something different.

Here's my WRX in case anyone cares.
