At the museum, 4 FR-S's to drive, two autos and two manuals, everyone got to drive. A short course around the block, we had some fun, also there were some iQ's we drove, some iQ drag racing ensued :D

from what i saw, everyone had smiles on their faces after driving the FR-S. :thumbsup:

86ers swapping pics/videos Saturday night

AWESOME event, Scion was great, and talking with Jack Hollis and the other 86ers was fantastic.

Everyone loved driving the FR-S, everyone who drove it was impressed with the smooth automatic, the interior is nice, steering wheel is comfortable, quick acceleration, had a few people try drifts, but they forgot to turn of traction control :broken heart: i have yet to talk to someone who didn't love driving the car, we all want to drive it more. thats what the FR-S does..leaves you wanting more.

damn, nice

thanks for the great pics. Looking forward to driving impressions.

thanks for the pics man!!! can't wait to see what else the weekend holds for yah!!! i'll be down there tomorrow....can't wait!!!:happy0180:

Great pics!!!! looks like a lot fun!! i'll be at the event tomorrow too :D

look out for a tall dude w/ his drift japan tee shirt on.:happy0180:

Judging from that crowd, the average age of the FR-S buyer will be way north of 25, should be good for insurance rates!

Thanks for the pics! I was hoping somebody would do this for us. I've actually been to the Long Beach Grand Prix before. It was awesome.

Looks like you guys are having a blast!

Thanks OP for the pics. Seems like you guys are having a time of your life. Enjoy.

The event looks like a blast. Thanks for the update! One question: which one of you knocked over the cone? Lol.

Looks like fun Titus, thanks for the pics

Great post. In my opinion the open top FR-86 looks amazing!!! Has some really classy lines. Its going my personal ''cool cars folder''

Damn the FR-S roadster was crazy looking! Good pics. We saw stuff we never seen before!
