Spotted an FR-S on my way to work

OK. I know we've seen hundreds if not thousands of pictures of the FR-S already and this may not be as exciting to you guys as it was for me (I still never seen the FR-S or BRZ in person). While on my way to work about 15 minutes ago, I spotted a black FR-S cruising down highway101 at ~75-85mph. I had trouble keeping up with him in my poor old camry but I managed to snap a bunch of pictures of it before my exit. I'll post up the best of the bunch I have. Sorry I couldn't drive fast enough to get ahead of it for a front shot.
Excuse the bad quality. Taken with my Droid X.

Nice. Up near SF? I know some cars are starting to hit the area, the two dealers I have deposits with have told me that they should have a car for me within 2 weeks.

Yeah right next to SFO. Glad to hear they are coming in soon! I wonder if that's a corporate car or a private owner's.

My guess is a floor model that they'll have on display at a dealer. The dealer and crew are likely taking it for a spin to see what it's all about.

Dam nice...as much as I like to get this car but typically I don't like to be in debt so I'm negotiating for a fellow's RSX-S on here...he is still hesitating about my offer but if I can't get the RSX, for sure FRS will be the one....

You sure about that? I'm being offered one in the same time frame that's also that color. It's just got the bumper appliqué on it.
