We should have a Texas Meet over in Houston when you get the car, so we can check it out haha. I know Longhorn and I would greatly appreciate that! He's in Houston too! And I'm fairly sure there's 5-6 more members from around here...

Yeah, we should do that. It's too bad I won't have the car prior to the Race in Ft. Worth. I know Flower Mound is right around the corner from TMS. I'd bring it up there and let all the Rednecks gawk at it!!! HA!!! Just kidding. But I do go to the race in the Spring every year.

But to me, this just makes it all that more intriguing. PLUS, they told us it would probably be the middle of May before we get them.

MY dealer, although oblivious to the whole program at the time, is really excited about the fact that he's the only dealer in the Houston area (as far as we know) that will be getting the car at his dealership. When I went in to sign the papers, they brought out the General Manager AND the Owner of the dealership to meet me. They're looking forward to it as much as I am.

I'm probably one of the oldest, if not THE oldest, that is on this forum. Let me give you some advise: Be patient. No need to rush things. You'll learn as you get older that time goes by TOO fast. YOUR ONE OF ONLY 86 PEOPLE TO BE SELECTED. Enjoy the moment!!!

Just added you, congratulations! Was it just at the Santa Cruz Scion dealer? I think you are the first confirmed girl to join the ranks

Not going to lie... A little bum that I'm not longer the only one in NorCal who will have this car but at least I can say that I'm the only guy who will have this car in NorCal! We'll have the same color too. We should meet up in San Fran and piss some people off by having not just one but two FR-S' driving around.

I'm just teasing; congrats to both of you NorCal folks. When I'm visiting relatives in San Mateo and Cupertino I'll hopefully see one Asphalt FR-S driving around.

Yup, Scion of Santa Cruz is the dealer.

Thanks for the warm welcome, y'all! You'll see me (or my hubby) driving it around Central Coast (hence, Hwy9!) and sometimes East Bay! Can't wait!

Help us find more of the first 86, call your dealers and see what you can find out! We are only 2 away from having HALF of them!

Congrats and welcome to the club! Glad to see someone else show up on the list. I was the tail end of it for a week or so, and made me feel exposed!

" Sean: it looks like Scion has some special things planned for the 1st 86 to take delivery of the vehicle. Each regional area may deliver them differently. Some will have press and a celebration.. "

Interesting info. as he stated some areas may deliver them differently. I hope my NW region will be a good one!! Be curious to see what different areas offer and what " Special Things " planned for us 86

Also said Late March/Early April we will be contacted/ more info then!
