Scion corporate was there in a big way and if they had taken the time to introduce everyone who was special there we would not have driven off until midnight. I have no inside information but this was not like the "event" staged last week in CA at the dealership there. This was staged by Scion Corporate at a Scion owned warehouse/entertainment facility. While the dealership was well represented they had never seen the car before that night. Scion had controlled the car since its arrival at the port.

The Scion corporate representatives where amazing and the local dealership were great sports considering they had no control over the car and little control over the event. There were lots of other Scions and specialty cars there across a very wide price range. I am not sure of everything he received but it was far more than he expected and there were several specialty vendors there who offered their products if and when he wants to follow up with them.

During the presentation he was given back pack that was full of really cool stuff like that reported before and much more. So much that they told the crowd that Kyle would just have to discover the rest when he had time to go through the bag... Most importantly the car in Black was stunning. The pictures do not tell the story.

The interior is much nicer than I expected. Kyle is 6'4" and I'm 6'2" and we were both very comfortable in the seats. The car sounded great, road great and I was impressed how little road noise there was a freeway speed. I am sure Kyle will be posting more once his work schedule allows. The Scion First 86 program was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the lucky 86. Having not been one of the 86 I was at least lucky enough to know one of the winners.

Hey FRSfan111, give me a shout if you have a chance. I'd like to check your car out and ask you about the party. Thanks, Darren 503-998-eighty-two-seventy-five

does that mean us ft86 friends are invited? lol jk i wish i was on west coast

Oh, hey, looks like they were actually able to find a way to re-use the First 86 banners from the banquet dinner in Long Beach! I'd thought they were a little too specific to be used at too many other occasions.
