First place I'm going in my FR-S
 
As you all may know I'm from the Seattle area, but the week after I pick up my FR-S, you will be seeing a bright red FR-S on Hwy 12, from Lewiston, Idaho to Missoula, Montana. Also known as the Lolo Pass route. This is probably some of the best mountain twisties anywhere. Around 60 straight miles of switchbacks/ hairpin turns :happyanim:

Whoa have fun! :thumbup:

I've been waiting for a cheaper light weight sports car to do the pass on :D As much as I love my Mustang, and it's hell of a blast to drive with the V8, it would be absolutely sh*t on Lolo pass with a solid rear axle and the heavy beast it is. This FR-S is designed for a road like this. It's short (length), it's light. I'm amped.

sounds epic id be nice if you videoed your first canyon run in the FRS. Seeing as how you'd probably the first to run that pass in that particular car.

I would love to do this trip too lol.

For the eastern US, I am sure that The Tail of the Dragon (US129) will be seeing its share of FR-S/BRZs.

Have fun with your run and keep it on the black stuff!

I will be taking a nice leisurely drive from the dealer to the lift at my shop :)

good luck with that. My grandparents drive it all the time. Be ready to follow behind old people who drive under the speed limit. But seriously I do love that road.

Haha, isn't that the worst. I don't mind when people drive the speed limit but when people drive substantially below it and you're unable to pass that really gets my goat.

Awesome. This car really speaks to what kind owners it will be having. I'm really hoping this forum becomes a great source for little sweet driving gems like this, with everybody sharing thier favorite little spots that anybody can enjoy.
