Hey guys,
I'm Sean, and live on the east coast of Canada. I'm not an owner yet, but have been reading these forums a lot over the last couple months as I think about getting a BRZ(Or monogram FR-S, if I can get everything lined up before they're gone).

This would be my first sporty car, since I've mostly had mundane Toyota's (Learned on a Sienna, then an '00 Echo that rusted away, and now an 06 Camry), so I've mostly been waiting for a chance to get a proper test drive on a twisty road between the freezing temperatures, piles of snow, inches of ice, and everything else this winter's been throwing our way.

WELCOME, Sir_Bongiovi .....

That speedster looks to be a fun driving machine ....

Why would you want an FR-S when you have that car .. ??

Hey guys, I'm Dave from North Carolina.
I recently acquired a Whiteout 2013 Scion FR-S and I've been falling and love and still continuing to do so. I have had it for almost a year but every time I start the engine, the experience feels new and I learn something from it almost every time.
I have a lot of plans in the future but I hope i'll be able to make it how I've always imagined it.
Thanks!

Hey FT86Club,
Danny from Edmonton, Alberta here. Picked up my Raven 6mt FRS back in May 2013.
Put about 16k kms on it before putting it away for the winter in October.
Mods will be posted in a build thread

I got my VIN number! JF1ZNAA13D1734515
Is anyone able to decode the vin and tell me what number off the line it is? Would it be # 4515?

Hello,

My fiance and I traded in a 2013 Focus ST in for a 2014 whiteout FRS last Wednesday. Although I miss the power the ST had, the FRS definitely feels a lot more nimble. We traded the ST in because I sit in an hour straight of stop and go traffic every workday in my afternoon commute. Even though I miss having a 6 speed on the weekends, my work commute is already a lot more enjoyable.

so I finally decided to make an account after lurking for weeks. I fell in love with the FRS about 2 weeks ago when I was in San Antonio. There was a gorgeous Whiteout that was staying at the same hotel as us. Seeing it everyday for 3 days made me realize it would be my next car. Fast forward to 2 weeks later, and I was able to pick up a '13 whiteout for a pretty decent price. any who, just wanted to stop in and share my story BTW, any advice for a first time RWD car owner for driving in the snow? I picked up the car yesterday and its supposed to snow tomorrow! no time to put winter tires on
