Toyota the company that engineered a cool sports car? "Awesome use your car!"

Your local service writer and regional rep? "We're not covering that"

Different entities, unfortunately one matters more than the other when it comes to keeping your car on the road.

They advertised the fact that it has trunk space for a set of track tires, bullshit they didn't advertise this thing as track capable.

Edit: Here's a video currently on Scion's Youtube channel. I'm not saying they should cover everything, but using HPDE/Autox as an excuse is bullshit.

Edit 2: Promo video advertising trunk space for tires and tools for track days with footage of an FR-S sliding around a track. (~2 mins in if you're impatient)
