This is only the second brand new car I have ever bought (after my 1997 Civic) so yes, I am actually very excited. I have owned faster cars, costlier cars, but lately I have been burned out with driving cars that are just not much fun to drive. Although I have still yet to drive an FR-S, the reviews alone have me itching to get behind the wheel. Plus, having my car sitting behind the fence nearby is driving me crazy! June 1st can't come fast enough!

Def debadging the FR-S emblem. I'll wait and see if I want to keep the Scion emblems. I don't have a problem with Scion, I'm just more of a Toyota fan than I am with Scion. I can't wait to see what you do with the car once you boost it!

I'm not gonna go crazy on the boost... I want something reliable from a reputable manufacturer. I don't want to have to build the engine, just a kick in the pants. I went with GReddy turbo on my S2000 and it wasn't crazy power, just enough to beat almost every other S2000 out there.
 I'll probably until this Winter to install forced induction. The car will be garaged anyway during the worst weather, and by then the aftermarketers should have had time to bring out their kits. I would like to go supercharged, but it always seems that turbo is just a better value. We'll see.

Yup. nwstreetracing.com, draglab.com and scionlife.com were all my creations. The NWSR and DragLab days were pretty awesome... all Honda crazy and night races. I miss them... but we all have to grow up sometime, right? (nah!)
