Meet Lightning McQueen - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Sojhinn · 08-04-2012, 01:04 AM

First a little background about myself. I am 30 years old, married to a beautiful wife, and we have two kids: a 3.5 year old girl and a 1.5 year old boy.

Today I finally got the call from the shipping company that my BRZ was about to be delivered. I raced home from work excited as a little school boy.

As I got near the target shopping center I was greeted by this site:

Leo my delivery driver was awesome and made sure that everything was perfect.

As soon as I was done signing papers I jumped into the seat and took off for some curvy roads near my home.

All I can say is WOW. This car put a smile on my face so large I felt like it was the first time I kissed my wife. You just knew it was something special.

After about 40 minutes of a joy ride I went back home to show the wifey and my son the new car.

I swear this next moment is one of the greatest I have ever had in my young life as a father. As soon as my son came out and saw the car he immediately began shouting "lightning lightning lightning!" My son a huge fan of the cars movies from Pixar thought I had just bought THE Lightning McQueen.

From that moment on I knew the name of my car, and even my daughter is begging to go for a ride in Lightning.

It even helps that it matches the name of the color

.

Here's a bad picture from my cell. I will be uploading more later. As well as some pictures of the baby seats that I will be putting in the back.

Thanks guys!

Shipped from Subaru superstore in AZ. I bought the car on the 24th over the phone. The next morning my salesperson told me the windows were tinted. Didn't ask for it but I have to admit they came out great. Got a decent price for the tint through the dealer.

Seems that way on the west coast. On the east coast I believe there are more.

Congrats and enjoy. Lovely story.

Make sure you take lots of pics and vid of your kids (and car, of course). They grow up so fast.

I told my wife that I am passing my future BRZ on to my oldest when he turns 16. He is only 8 right now! I figured a BRZ for a 16 yr old would be cool and an 8 yr old car hopefully will not be too expensive to insure!
