Hi, Everyone

I bought an MT Ultramarine FR-S from Champion Gulf Freeway on August 4. I ordered it in late May, being I think 6th on the list.
Since that time, I've seen a black one every couple weeks in Clear Lake where I live (maybe the first from Champion?) , then a Silver one at the Mooyah on Bay Area Blvd, then by about the time I got mine, one every 3-4 days or so in most of the colors except mine! Haven't yet seen a BRZ. I asked about it at Gillman, and they kind of told me not to bother.
Anyway, I'm on 300 miles and am trying hard not to go over 4000 rpm. It's worth it, I guess.

Finally saw my first FR-S on the road this morning! About 6:40 on 610 heading towards 290...looked to be silver. Anyone...anyone?

6:40 am I say that was me. But mine is black. Guess I just missed that one

hewno2 · 08-30-2012, 08:43 AM

I take 99 to 10 east to 610 north every morning M-F. Mine is orange...honk if you see me!

When is the next get together? I am going on vacation this Saturday, so if it is then, I will miss it.

So, my whole driver side door is being replaced but it'll take about 2 weeks for the door to come in..

If anyone sees an Asphalt toyota riding around that's me.

Yes... I think... Shows how much I pay attention. She is doing accounting so I think that would be UHD 290 campus. I go to the UH main campus (which sucks ass)

Main campus isn't that bad xD I prefer it over Downtown.

FR-S wasn't mine though, waiting till dealers are selling the TRD kit so I get that financed with it, I heard it's not a good idea....still doing it though, love the TRD bodykit on Firestorm.

Hey! I went to UH main! That said, the parking there DOES suck ass, and I wouldn't enjoy parking a new Toyobaru there.

Awesome, bunch of college folk!

Well, one fellow student and one alumnus? I go to UH main as well. They totally fucked everything up with their new garage permit application process this year, so I'm stuck hiking from the East Garage.

Though, the East Garage is less crowded and my classes start at 11am so that's good. My big concern was that I'm learning to drive manual, and during peak hours of school traffic, the garage ramps get really backed up. Was freaking out about the possibility of missing first gear and having a lovely collision with the car behind me.
