I finally got my car yesterday. I ordered it on 3/14, arrived at port 4/14 and I took delivery yesterday night. I ordered it with two options, the Borla Exhaust and keyless/security upgrade.

Long story short, I was a professional mountain bike racer(was my actual profession) until about 2 months ago when I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc on my back, so that was the end of 15 year career.

Since my racing career was over I wanted something that could keep me on my toes and keep my adrenalin levels high, so after a good amount of research I decided to get the FR-S. I have already signed up for a few track days, the 1st one being homestead next Saturday, immediately followed by Auto X competition on Sunday, am I moving too fast, lol??

Welcome aboard. Enjoy your track days. I'm sure it won't be long before you decide to add more upgrades like new tires, etc.

Sorry to read your back gave out on you .... :(

Yep, like said above (FiRStsc10n), some different tires may be in order for that kind of driving .... ;)

Welcome!

Great color . . . was tied with whiteout and asphalt for my final decision.

Though, I'd argue the sun really brings out the best in it.

Welcome! Nice color choice the ultramarines are pretty hard to come by in my area.

Good job on being pro MTB for so long. I've been riding and very occasionally (slow) racing MTB myself for 27 years. Never pushed things beyond sport class or Cat 3 on the road though.

Oh, congrats on the car!
