New to these parts as an FR-S owner and resident, but ...
I worked for GM for 6 years and then Toyota for 8.5 years in Michigan, but never did any work directly for Scion. It was all automatic transmission engineering stuff anyway, so not much interest on here, I suppose.
I've been autocrossing since 2012 and this will be my third vehicle in as many years to run (unless you count the one time I rented Godzilla). You can see some of my events if you go on YouTube and search for my user name. Unfortunately, the camera system I was using was the property of my former employer, so I won't have any new video for a while.
I also set up thread showing all my car plans, and what will be races and so on. You can find that here.
It was kind of funny on the way down to make the purchase agreement on the car today. A red twin (not sure which one) buzzed by me on I-35. Kind of Carma (pun intended).
Look forward to meeting some of you all around the Alamo City. Since I'm new to Texas and all. I plan on going to many autocrosses this year, so feel free to stop by and say hello if you can figure out which GTI is mine ... until the FR-S gets broken in.
Cheers,

Hi Chris,
We have an autocross with the Spokes club from Austin @ San Antonio Raceway on Sunday. You'll probably need to be there by 8am, maybe earlier if you have anything to change (tires or whatever) Its a $30 entry fee for (non members and members who do not preregister) Spokes.
The next race with the San Antonio club (SASCA) is May 18 @ Retama Park. Its a $25 entry fee for (non members and members who do not preregister) SASCA.
If you are interested in attending a larger event, there is a ProSolo in Mineral Wells, TX May 3-4, but you'd probably want to get there on the 2nd to practice and register, yadda yadda.
Welcome to San Antonio.
