Just a heads up for everyone - Bill Penney sucks when it comes to FR-S's. I just had the crickets TSB taken care of and I have never had a worse experience at a dealership. I will be taking my vehicle to Decatur or similar for now on. They ran up 40+ miles each time it was taken in, declaired several issues were "normal", did not perform the TSB correctly, argued with me when I told them what they did wrong, did not perform a full service when I took it in for an oil change, and a small handful of other issues.

Yeah, I honestly can't wait until my warranty is up so I can take my car to somewhere besides a dealership.

The thing that really irked me was that i was "advised" that my track pipe and camber bolts would potentially void my warranty.

hey guys i just picked up a red brz last night. i'm in the north Huntsville area. bought mine in Nashville. so far loving it. already got like 150 miles on it.

supramkivtt2jz · 06-07-2013, 09:42 AM

awesome - i havnt seen a red brz in the area yet. grey and white are the two most common that i have noticed in the area.

Eurasianman · 06-07-2013, 12:43 PM

So, I have seen 1 or 2 Asphalt FR-S in the Huntsville area. I saw one this morning off of Rideout Rd. The other Asphalt FR-S (might be the same from this morning), I have seen in Research Park.

I also saw, at least I think it was, a black BRZ a couple days ago on University Dr around lunch time, passing Subaru. I think it was a BRZ Limited to be precise.

I think someone who works at Boeing has a red fr-s. Haha I feel like a stalker with knowing where these cars are at.

I've been seeing a Firestorm FRS parked in front of the bowling alley on the Parkway nearly every day coming home from work.

Yea, I have seen one of those in the Providence area as well.

twoodcc · 06-07-2013, 04:12 PM

yeah i've seen an asphalt (fr-s) one at redstone, and i've seen a white one driving around (fr-s). i haven't seen a brz yet. had someone looking at mine today at zaxbys. i'm well over 200 miles on mine now!

twoodcc · 06-10-2013, 12:35 PM

so where do you take your car for exhaust work and such around here? just curious, i'm not gonna mess with mine just yet.

Eurasianman · 06-12-2013, 05:33 PM

Saw a black FR-S (at least I believe it was black. Definitely an FR-S) on Research Park, heading North towards Hwy 53 around 16:00 yesterday. Anyone here?

I installed my cat-back exhaust myself but I have always done my own work on my cars. For simple things like exhaust, brakes, intakes, ect., there's no need to take it to a shop. This is especially true with a new car when parts come off much easier!
