LSV8 - Big Red

Just drove "Big Red" home!!!

I want to thank Ryan Dong at SF Toyota/Scion for making all this happen so smooth and swift.

Day1
Although I was in line for a white FRS like so many others.. when the opportunity came up for a red, I had to make it happen. All my cars are white, so as you can imagine, this is new for me.. but I must say, this red reminds me of the '98 Supra red.. it's not orange at all.. it carries a hint of darkness.. which in my book is a-okay!

Driving impression:
I drive a big Lexus LS.. so naturally the FRS is sharp as an arrow and very precise. It does remind me of the Toyota Altezza from my OG days.. but it has way less body roll.. it's very light chassis.

The suspension is hard, but not to a point where it becomes annoying. Brakes are strong, Michilen tires grab nicely, and overall styling is very nice to look at.

I haven't been this excited about a car.. and I am looking forward to racking up serious miles and improving areas where is lacking..
