Hey man, actually it's a really light gray... it seems to take on different colors depending on the light that it's shown in. Sometimes it looks like Old English White in pictures, other times it looks baby blue! LOL! But, yes, it's a 68 MGB-GT!

Philadelphia flyers Legend Bernie Parent told me I could "pull a lot of tail with a car like that" when I met him a few weeks ago at a Whole Foods in south jersey.

He should know.

A 10 yr-old standing next to my FR-S said to his Mom, "Look, I am taller than the race car!"

ever since i brought my FR-S home last tuesday 1/29/13 I've had nothing but Mega-Positive impressions from Family, Friends, Acquaintances, and Co-Workers, and yes even complete Strangers.

BUT

there's always that ONE GUY, lol you know that guy?!

my gf's sister's bf. he said between the two of 'em that and he qoute;

"It's an OVER-PRICED car for a Scion!"

Now thats coming from a guy building an AE86 mind you.
And the fact that he drives a late model Mercedes-Benz that he would
really think an FR-S is overpriced because it has a Scion badge instead of a Toyota.
Did he base his comment on logic or jealousy?
What a horrible thing to say to someone that got a new car.
That goes for anyone that gets a new car period.

I'm always encouraging him in finishing that corolla of his.
As a longtime owner of an AE86 hatch and now an FR-S I've always had compassion
for anyone who's fixing up an AE86, and when I heard that he said what he said I was dissappointed at the guy.

The comment he made had every bit of jealousy stemmed in it. Now, I see him as nothing more than a douche-bag! So sad.

Just been out for dinner with friends. When we came out there was a Ferrari 575 standing outside. Two guys were coming in with two VERY hot chicks and stopped to look at it.
The one girl says, "I'd much rather have the white one over there" (my 86)!

I stopped by the Honda dealership to return some stuff that I didnt need (traded it in for the FR-S). All of the sales folks were staring out the window talking about the new Scion in the parking lot.

Then I went to the Mini dealership to order the wifes new car and the techs were outside walking around the FR-S.

I know the twins are popular but I never expected this much attention.
