Fairly certain that would not happen, so I talked cars with the sales-dude for a bit.

Finance manager comes back and says "done!" Damn Toyota auto-approve financing. I guess I'm a good risk.

So, off to Portland to pick up a shiny-new 2017 MT GT-86. They say I might be the first one in the area. There are a few things I don't like about the cosmetics, but I'm sure I can suffer through it!

I'll post pics and general impressions later today or tomorrow. I'm going to try and knock out the break-in mileage as fast as I can. Yes, I follow the recommended boring procedure religiously.

So, if you see a white '17 86 in and around the greater Portland back roads and then on towards Seaside, that might be me!

I feel like a dope for trading, as I love the oddball-ness of Scion, but life is too short. Maybe I'll re-badge to Scion! I'm just glad I have the ability and opportunity to do this.

I think I saw 1 at the Ron Tonkin in Portland, But cool! Glad to see at least 1 of the 17' will make it on the forum.
