A Dream Come True
 

I am a proud new owner of a Whiteout FR-S M/T! My previous car was a 1996 Ford Mustang that I had in the family since '96 and I drove for 12+ years...my car was getting to the point where maintenance was out weighing its worth. My fiance and I have been following the GT86/FR-S/BRZ since it was a figment of Toyota-Subaru's R&D department's imagination. Since this time until it came to fruition, we have been preparing to get this car and it has been a long time coming.

Like many new owners before us, you all know what I mean when I say that this car is an absolute dream to drive! My fiance and I had to make a couple of trips from the dealership to our home and back on the day we purchased the car for additional paperwork, but the majority of the trip was just in silent awe of this machine...to be quite honest, I didn't turn on the radio until yesterday (I've had the car since this past Sunday) just to see what all the rage was about the Bespoke.

My initial shock was how well we both fit in this car. My fiance is 5'11" and I am 5'2", we both took turns that first night marveling behind the wheel. His first impression was that the seat hugged his body and the location of all the items in the console is exactly where it should be. As we traded seats after the first leg of our trip, I honestly had the same first impression, even though I'm a 5'2" girl. Yes, I'm prepared to hear it from some that I should take extra caution in this car as I am a female driver, but rest assured my father did not teach me to drive anything like a girl :lol:

Please forgive me for the photo below as that was the first photo we took when we brought our new addition home. It has been raining the last several days here in Central Florida, so more picks are on there way as weather permits. As I am a new member of the forum, I would like to give a huge thanks to all the forum members who volunteered their time in gathering information about this car, what to look for when buying a new car, and what to expect at the dealership...it was such a huge help!

Night shot, the angle did not look this extreme on my phone!

Congratulations, you have a beautiful car. You especially sound like the kind of person who will really get a lot of pleasure out of that beauty. Good luck.

Congrats you will only grow more in love with the vehicle and nice color choice

Congrats! The car is gorgeous in that color (yes I'm biased).

Girl who knows how to drive stick? I'd say you're already one step ahead of the game.

congrats !

Congratulations on your new car! I've only got 700 miles on mine and I can't wait for work to end JUST to drive home.

Have fun with it man.

White is the way to go on these cars.

congrats, u picked the right tranny. have fun!

ENJOY!

I still look forward to the drive home every day, and I have 8,500 miles on mine. I hated the daily commute before.

Congrats!

All I can say is: Be careful pulling into parking lots and drive ways with any incline what-so-ever. This car doesn't like going straight up ramps.

Gratz! So much fun aint it? I barely had mine for a week (7 days today) and I'm loving it. Trying to keep it under 4k is hard. Just restrain yourself til after 1k miles!

Fixed that for you ;)

congrats - you got the exact same type I want so im slightly jelous!!

Congrats! You and your fiancé will have a blast with this car. I have had mine since 10/30 and I can't wait to get behind the wheel ever day!

Now how about that nice central Florida background with amazing car photos?

Wow, thank you so much to everyone for the welcome and congrats! @DarkSunrise I have to credit my fiance for allowing me to practice driving a manual in his tC. He wanted me to learn in case of an emergency like the zombie apocalypse wear for some odd reason all A/T car just don't work or we are out and I choose to be the designated driver for the night having left the house in his car.

Thank you to everyone for the tid bits about the car, they are duly noted. I'm finding out something new about this car everyday. Embarrassingly my round trip commute from home to work is literally 5.7 miles and everyday before I got my FR-S I could not wait to just get home. I now physically know what you all mean when this car just makes you want to drive it, because I got into the turn lane to turn towards my house and realized that I wasn't ready to go home. So I merged back onto the highway and went for a longer drive! It's just amazing!:burnrubber:

The one downside to buying a car on a Sunday is Monday is right around the corner and that means back to work. In addition to this, we've had a lot of rain since Sunday (who thought it would rain so much in Central Florida :lol:) so when the weather permits, I do plan to get some worthy pics for everyone, promise!

P.S. I honestly believe this car looks good in all the colors that it is available in. However, the sun peaked out for about 5 minutes yesterday afternoon and hit the pearl coat just right and I could have swore I heard the angels singing :laughabove:

Totally agree with you, but you know what I mean when I say it's so hard to keep her under 4k! My fiance is having a little more trouble than I, but I do feel his pain because my daily commute is all local and it's just a mean tease the whole way to work and the whole way back. Currently sitting at 287 miles, got her with 44 miles on it Sunday.

Got mine on June 1st and driving it today is still just as much fun as the first day. Like you I'll take the long way home now and again just cause I'm not ready to stop driving it just then.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

@FRSGT86 Thank you! Looks like you were the lucky few to get the first shipment, you didn't know it then but you will know now that I was so jealous of you!

I live in central FL too! and congrats!
