Stopping by to say hi! First time actually joining a forum for a specific car, but there's more to read here than reddit! Glad to be in the company of fellow enthusiasts!

Hi everyone! I've been lurking the forum for months now, but didn't actually make an account until I was able to call one mine.

I got Hikari Sunday evening (12/1) from Scion Vacaville after getting the run-around at a lazy local dealer . 2014 Scion 6AT FR-S in Whiteout, she came with BeSpoke and the Scion spoiler pre-installed. She had 10 miles on her when we first met Sunday night, and she was on the lot for 41 days

2.5 hours later and 40mi, and she's resting in my garage. I'm finding it very hard to keep her under 5K RPM for the first 1000 steps, but I'm 4% of the way there!

Big thank you to everyone here, there is such a plethora of information here, it really is an amazing resource. This is my first time really owning a car, having shared for the past 7 years. (I don't count the Camry Hybrid incident in 2006. The brake pedal/accelerator problem put an accident on my record in stop/go and I got a full refund prior to the recall). I'm proud to call her mine, and I'll be learning a lot about proper maintanence and upkeep in the next few weeks.

Hey everyone,

I just got my 2013 Hot Lava FR-S last wed. Unfortunatly, I had to get rid of my Challenger R/T. That being said im very impressed at the performance of these little cars.

I'm already on my way to modding the car. I have previously plasti dipped whole cars and i had a few extra gallons, so I desides to spray it and atleast protect the car for the New England winter.

Let me know what you think.








Thanks
David

Hi everyone!

Despite this being my first post, I joined roughly a month ago when I first ordered my car But I've been lurking as a guest for waaayy longer than that. I got my car a few days ago, and think it's time to finally be part of this awesome community

This will be my second car, but first "new" car. It's a Sonic Blue manual GTS 86 2014 model. Here are a few pictures of my car (I think I attached it right).

I've learnt a lot on this forum, and I'm looking forward to learning a lot more.

p.s. If anyone wants to know, my surname is "Dang", so that's what the number plate means
