It still needs planning. I heard you were planning to drive to NWI, where I live. So far only me owns a BRZ around the area. I think it'll be fun if we go for a drive around town with both our cars.

There is supposed to be an FR-S First Drive event in Chicago on June 30-July 1. I don't know where yet but it would be pretty cool to decent on them like a pack of Ravenous FR-Ss (or like a Firestorm, or a White Out. You get the idea) Reports say they have had some after market people/products at these events and it would be a good change for us MT guys to take an AT for a little spin. By the end of June there might be a few more FR-Ss in the area.

5/17 WRB BRZ Limited, could be game if it doesn't interfere with any track days or autox.

K2 06-08-2012 07:15 PM

Okay! I've got the 411 on the Chicago event. I guess the White Sox are out of town that weekend. Here's the link to the sign up page and the info on the event. So the big question is which day and what time.

WELCOME TO SCION FR-S FIRST DRIVE TOUR

The wait is almost over. One of the most anticipated automotive events of the year - the launch of the 2013 Scion FR-S, is here. You can see for yourself what the excitement is about, by getting behind the wheel of the FR-S during the Scion FR-S First Drive Tour - a series of exclusive ride and drive events taking place at 16 cities around the country.

At each FR-S First Drive event, participants will be able to see up close the car that is "bringing the sport back to the car". Learn more about the FR-S and sample the balanced performance characteristics unique to a front mounted, flat boxer-powered rear wheel drive sports coupe - designed for enthusiasts by enthusiasts. Experience the precision-engineered handling and driving fun expected of the successor to the legendary "Hachi-roku".

Like every model Scion offers, the FR-S is also about personalization. Customize the FR-S to fit your style from the many customization possibilities directly from Scion, or through our Scion OPTOMIZE aftermarket program partners.

brzzz 07-18-2012 12:05 AM

Got it, there was only 1 on this truck. :happy0180: hope you get yours soon. Dont know which shipment this was.

ranisron 07-18-2012 12:25 AM

Thanks for pointing out Subaru on Grand the other day, I visited the dealership this past Saturday. I got lucky since someone just backed out from a deal - So I picked up that order (exactly what I wanted) and the ETA for the vehicle is August 31, 2012 (have VIN already).

Insurance will be marginally more expensive (< $90 for the entire year) than my saabaru.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (aka FNL), has been a monthly summer meet hosted by JDM Chicago over the last few years. For July, we are moving the event to Saturday July 21. Rather then change the name of the event...we have re-branded the meet as FNL SATURDAYS to keep the original FNL spirit alive! Hope to see you all there and please be early for optimal parking! Culvers will be present for food/drink Purchases. EVERYONE WELCOME!

Q/A:
1. How many spots will there be?
We have roughly around 700 spots allocated.
2. Will there be food/drinks available?
Yes, Culvers will be vending food. NOS will also be present.
3. Security/Police gonna be there?
Yes, we have around 6 security guards and police officers present.
4. What if I decide to be a douchebag and do a burn out, etc?
We will have you arrested and kicked out. Not to mention blacklisted from any future events

Hawaiian 07-21-2012 02:45 AM

Too bad that's totally the wrong way from where I live (lisle) and work (glenview). Not to mention I'll be getting out too late to make it there (bartender) maybe next time.

philstar 07-21-2012 04:22 PM

I will probably stop by FNL since it is so closeby to me
