Been lurking since 09 as well. No idea when I created this account. I'll find out in two seconds when I post this and look.

lol, I was on another forum specific to the brz for a while before I finally joined this one. Got my car back in 6/2012 and been enjoying it ever since.

I followed the car early 2011 but didn't join till after I was selected for scions first 86 program.

Also an early adopter, auto FRS, hard tracking for 3 years, all is well at 60,000 kms.
A lifetime standard driver, now I can't go back to no paddles, I'd sell my house and buy a Ferrari first - LOL.

I lurked here a bit back in late 2010 or so, but was a die hard Mitsu guy that was going to have a Eclipse Spyder GT in the next 3 or 4 years.
I figured "that FT 86 looks Ok but if they actually build them they will be crap anyway" and left.
I was wrong!

I found old nasioc posts when it was first rumored (prior to the ft86 concept). I asked for 2600lbs, 180hp, 7500 redline, $22k. Close enough. Finally got mine this summer. I found out my wife was pregnant with out first 1 day before the Toyota 86 was revealed, hence the delay.

I ordered my car sight unseen. Loved it based on all the internet chatter. I am happy to report that all the chatter was correct.

been on here for a while, maybe about three years now. Fell in love with the concept and patiently waited until i got my car. Love every last bit of it

Still have the newspaper from '09 when it was printed as a "Concept FT86" introduced at one of the Auto Shows...

Made deposit early release date and got one of the first few cars 3 months later.

Also, used to own an AE86 GT-S with the AE111 20V Blacktop swap... for 5 years before selling it with the MR-S for the BRZ.

Followed the car since the FT-86 concept was revealed some time in October in 2009 but didn't join the forum until after the production car was revealed. Being 18, didn't think I would get one but it automatically became my dream car. My dad got one & realized insurance was high along with the other cars we owned so we sold it after a year since it didn't need to be a daily driver.

Made a vow to myself to work hard to get one after college. I'm graduating this May but I may stretch out my wait for another Release Series FR-S or at least something that transcends above the base model :)

That's what I meant when I said it :) Couldn't see it until I posted or went to the "Official financial thread of the month" to see ;)

Started following since I saw the Tokyo Auto Salon 86 concept II Jan 2011
