SoCal Spotted
 
Did a quick search and didn't find one for SoCal. Though I may have missed it since I'm using my phone.

Spotted a Raven FR-S with tinted windows on the 134 merging to the 5. We said what's up.

Fish where are you located in the SFV? I've only seen dealer BRZs/FRSs in the area so far.

I'm in Reseda. I only get to drive my car on nights and weekends though.

Gaiakai 06-14-2012 12:58 AM

I've been seeing this Hot Lava FR-S going 91E near Cerritos/Lakewood at around 4:30-5ish lately

ZarWolf 06-14-2012 01:25 AM

Saw an Argento FR-S leaving Poway towards the I-15 yesterday about 5 PM-ish. Still had dealer plates on it, looked to be Toyota of Poway temporary plates but I could be wrong.

First one I've seen on the streets, nice to see them around.

Sonex51 06-14-2012 01:36 AM

I've only seen an Ultramarine FR-S parked at Chipotle in Palmdale.
However my friend keeps telling me there's a silver BRZ on Edwards AFB that I have yet to see...

benjoke 06-14-2012 01:48 PM

My SWP BRZ and co-worker's whiteout FR-S provide a breath of fresh air in our office parking lot! :)

Symbiont 06-14-2012 02:00 PM

Saw an Asphalt and an Ultramarine FR-S a weekend or so ago. Asphalt on Laguna Canyon, and Ultramarine on PCH in Newport Beach.

MF_DEUCE 06-14-2012 04:16 PM

Fish beat me to it! lol REQUEST FOR STICKY!!!

Spotted a WRB BRZ Premium going down Rosecrans Ave. in Norwalk on 6/12 @12pm ish

What day was it? I got an asphalt color Frs and I was driving it around that area

MF_DEUCE 06-17-2012 12:04 PM

Spotted Argento FRS on Rosecrans ave and Funston ave in Norwalk at a gas station next to a red 370z.

Symbiont 06-17-2012 05:49 PM

Just passed a GBS (or possibly a WRB) BRZ in Irvine. They turned north on Sand Canyon from Barranca as I was headed south. :)

dookie11 06-17-2012 06:07 PM

There's a spotted thread, but no SoCal one. NicE!

THe only one that I've spotted is that black FRS parked in front of the liquor store near my house in El Monte. It's there every once in a while...Must belong to the store owner or something.

That might have been me. I live in that area and have a Raven with tint (has been removed). When did you see it?

r4m3n 06-17-2012 09:03 PM

Spotted a white BRZ with Irvine Subie tags aggressively driving around in the plaza off Irvine Center Drive and Sand Canyon around 130. I didn't bring my car out at the time tho :(

It was on Wednesday, June 13th. I was with my sister. Mine is a Firestorm.

I've been looking for any FR-S/BRZ cars out and about and haven't had any luck seeing them until today! Someone had their white BRZ parked in Hacienda Heights near the 85 Degrees Bakery (same plaza as Albertson's and Guppy House). Finally!!!!

Nice!

Spotted a white FRS with the five axis rear spoiler and wheels on my way to work this morning. It had manufacturer plates.
Spoiler looks awesome.

It looked exactly like that one with the same spoiler, same wheels, same beat sonic antenna and even the same "797" manufacturer plates, EXCEPT that it had the stock exhaust. I'm pretty sure of it. The driver followed me for a good 20 minutes in traffic.

I wouldn't doubt that it is the same car though.

Sl31 06-19-2012 08:46 PM

Spotted firestorm frs driving back from vegas
 
First time seeing one side by side on the road. Very nice to actually see one on the road.

If your on the here, was your car ok driving through all that high winds and sand on the 15 south? Hopefully no scratches.

That would probably be me. :x

luscious 06-20-2012 12:47 PM

Spotted another this morning! I was driving south on the 71 in some pretty heavy traffic. I switch lanes over to the right lane right as another car was entering the freeway next to me...I was all "Ah crap!.......hey wait, it's an FR-S!"
Asphalt FR-S with I-10 Toyota (Indio) dealer license plate. We exchanged "wasup's"

sidnacious 06-20-2012 03:19 PM

Spotted a white frs yesterday in Irvine. Waiting at a light on Barranca and Von Karman. I was on Von Karman making a left onto Barranca.

Shinobi2u 06-20-2012 07:38 PM

Spotted a red FR-S preparing to turn (ie sitting in the middle of the pedestrian crosswalk so a bicyclist had to go around behind him/her:D) left/north onto Ventura Canyon when I was turning left onto Roscoe Blvd from Ventura Canyon Ave at 9:20 PM last night. First time I had seen one in the flesh and it was until I almost past it that I realized what it was (headlights are what clued me in). Wish I had been paying more attention earlier, cause I wanted to look longer. :bonk:

Calidrifter 06-20-2012 07:56 PM

That's by Kaiser/Jollybee right?

Wasn't me, and I'm starting to feel lonely over her in Woodland Hills. Lol

Yup, right next to the Kaiser and one street over from the Seafood Market and Jollybee. I'm going the BRZ route when my order (eventually) comes in, but still good to see either model on the road. :)

86design 06-20-2012 08:39 PM

i live in irvine and I haven't seen any BRZ or FRS yet :( its probably cause I get off at Culver lol

HotLeopardMama 06-20-2012 10:36 PM

Both @moreuseful and I work in Irvine, so you may see either of us driving my white FR-S putting around there Monday through Friday with its red Hello Kitty rear license plate frame. It still has the "Cabe" (LB Toyota/Scion Dealer) paper in the frame. >(^..^)<

mfromwhere 06-20-2012 10:47 PM

Just saw a white brz on Main St. in Santa Monica.

Good looking car.

As do I, but I spend more time around the Spectrum. :)

bryan 06-20-2012 11:06 PM

Just spotted a white FRS on the corner of Garvey and Walnut Grove in San Gabriel Valley. It was brand spanking new, still without plates.

Also spotted a white BRZ this past weekend. Except that one was in my driveway and belonged to my cousin's buddy.

Three spottings within one week. For a newly introduced car, I'd say this is a sign that it's going to be very popular. Like we already didn't know that...

i love your hello kitty license plate frame! i saw a picture on another thread.
I'm still debating if I should get hello kitty or crystal rhinestone license frame. :wub:

bryan 06-21-2012 05:44 PM

Spotted another 86. This time it was a red FRS with a female driver on Valley Blvd. in Rosemead. That makes it the fourth one I've seen this week and the first non-white one.
It seems like I still haven't spotted a forum member yet though.

HotLeopardMama 06-21-2012 07:28 PM

I'll be looking into an ft86club decal, so you'll be able to spot me more easily soon! :)
