We went. It was pretty cool. Chatted w a guy from the team, said he was training to be a stunt double haha. Sat in both cars, thinking those drivers must be freakishly tall. I could barely get the clutch all the way in and I'm 6' or just shy thereof.

We test drove a used 2013 STI...Since the FR-S is the first manual I've had/driven it was neat to get to try something else. Conveniently they didn't have any of the Starbucks gift cards they said you'd get with a test drive (stack of cards that were in the race trailer to fill out and hand in after a TD), but "we could come back in a few days to get it". And of course after the test drive they kept pushing to try to sell us on the friggin' car we drove even though we didn't want it. Douchebags.

My girlfriend in the wagon, the racier of the two cars. See that, she does exist!
