Finally it's here
 
Just got a call, my car is at the dealer on the show room floor one day early

I promised my two kids I would take them to the Drift event in Atlanta on Friday and Saturday so I will try to sneak away to see it, if not I will go over on Sunday for a drive.

Damn I wish I wasn't a man of my word, it's killing me. Well I will plan on picking it up Monday, I think I feel the Flu coming on or I may have anal glaucoma: I can't see my ass going to work Monday

As you know, I was supposed to go too, but already couldn't go for the main event on Saturday due to a family gathering, and fortunately (for me) my son couldn't go at the last minute on Friday, so picking up the car for me!

We'll definitely Rock The Varsity sometime next week at lunch! First official Atlanta FR-S owners club meeting!:thumbup:

I work a couple of miles from the Scion dealership where Rocky is getting his car. I drove over there today at lunch to check out the color. It's a real looker in white. Very classy. Like I discussed with Rocky, the white will be less prone to show the pollen we have fall twice a year. The rest of the car looked great. The spokes of the wheels are dark grey with metal flake, and compliment the white perfectly. The salesman I spoke with said they have an auto in asphalt inbound. I'd like to see the car in asphalt and argento before I make a choice. As pretty as ultramarine is, I'm afraid it will be a little too hard to keep clean.

Enjoy the FR-S Rocky. It was great speaking with you today!

Thanks for the call to tell me about my car, I'm jealous, you got to see it first. I hope to make it to the dealer tonight on my way to Road Atlanta if not I will go in on Sunday to take a ride and stop by on Monday to sign the paperwork.
Next Friday I'll take it up to the N. Georgia mountains to cruise around for the weekend, and since it's not to far from the "Tail of the Dragon" I may go there.

OK, now I'm jealous! You're going to force me to take a day off to join you!

I'll be gentle, I have never been there so I want to see it. I have a house in the N. GA mountains so I don't have a long drive to get there. I'm sure I will go back after the break in and be much more aggressive

I'd be down for a tail of the dragon run, slow or not. Just let me know and I'll add another FR-S to the mix :)
