I'll be there as well! I'll post a review afterwards with pics and possibly video. Unlike other reviews, I won't repeat all the same stuff that we all know over and over. Where possible, I'll review unique parts that I haven't seen written about, but a lot of this will depend on how much time I'm allowed to have and how hard they let us drive.

Just gone done there. I just went over to see an 86 in person and didn't register to drive since I have a brz on order. But I was chatting with one of the guys and told him that and he signed me up to drive anyway. A lot of fun. Don't be shy about heading over, even if you didn't register.

Subie 04-28-2012 04:09 PM

I would have liked to have gone but Ford Mill is just a little too far for me to go.

Thanks! I drove the Hot Lava and the Black once each. Disappointed that they were all automatic, but I understand why... All in all, it was great fun. Car is a lot of fun to drive and very easy to become comfortable driving. Met some nice folks out there too, good start to the community around this car. :)

ft86Fan 04-28-2012 08:05 PM

Thanks for the pics everybody. This must be the Yokohama Ride & Drive using the Scion FRS that I have heard about. Anybody know what kind of Yoko tires they put on the car? Will the event be coming to the NY/NJ area? Thanks.

bestwheelbase 04-28-2012 08:25 PM

Thanks for the pictures XC! That's great you got to do it with your father.... good memories I'm sure.

ft86Fan 04-28-2012 08:37 PM

Seems like the next stop is in Baltimore at M & T Bank Stadium. http://frsbaltimore.eventbrite.com

Ranatsu 04-28-2012 10:47 PM

So PF01 and RPF1's on those cars, right?

ESBjiujitsu 04-28-2012 10:50 PM

I was there at 2pm it was surprising how little people were there. Im uploading my pics and video now and will post soon :) I was already sure i wanted a frs/brz but now after that test drive im 100% percent sure i was right lol. :):burnrubber:

speedrye 04-28-2012 11:41 PM

I just posted a separate review with more pictures. Feel free to ask questions and I'll answer if I can.

keiri 04-29-2012 12:29 AM

I drove this afternoon at the 1PM session. LOVED IT!

Despite the gloomy weather and smallish lot, the group of guys in my bracket really enjoyed themselves.
