400 peeps laid off. None that I know personally, at least not in IT. I'm safe.....for now.

Can only keep plugging away; hoping I'm one of the folks pushing the company in the right direction!

The local people dig the FR-S, and no one has ever seen one before mine. If I slow down at all in a school zone the young girls in their catholic school outfits whistle and signal for rides. It is kind of embarrassing. Embarrassing for them when they realize it is a geezer driving AND they don't get picked up, either.

See you in May - keep the wheel side down.

So you decided to keep the car?.. Or are you still trying to sell?

I'll be in LA in a week, on my little Flicka, and buy a fixie for local rides - then, who knows? From past experience I know I won't be driving very much then, and the car isn't going back to MN.

Wait a minute, so we are losing a good friend who drives the FRS?

Saw a black BRZ in Blaine. It didn't have a plate yet. These cars are getting more common.

I haven't seen anyone around me, and I'm now working in Eden Prairie and still have yet to see another twin.

Maybe it's still a little early.

I also saw a Black FRS the other day in Little Canada stopping by BP to get some 93 gas(hopefully).

I jumped to conclusions too quickly. Just spotted a DGM BRZ in Savage this morning and we caravan'd on 169 until I got to my exit. We offered friendly cheers to each other.

We should have some ft86club stickers on our car to get more twins into the forums. Thats awesome

Others then when everyone has met up I've only seen three others in the wild, and two of them were parked. Of course between winter and me not driving all that much its no surprise.

Thinking of bringing out the whip this weekend.

Still salt even though the roads are dry?
