Pekingduck's writing is fine. I'm sure Scion wasn't expecting Shakespeare.

The cup holder is a concern of mine as well, but considering I only really keep cups in there to a trip to a fast food place and back, it's not a big deal.

I really love and will miss my cup holder to left on the dash (yes it's awesome) on my EP3.

But enough about me, congratulations and I hope you have fun with the 86.

Pekingduck, thanks for sharing your ongoing impressions as you grow more familiar with the car. Can't wait to hear your thoughts once it's broken-in and you're able to really give it some stick.

Deposits are refundable so if you don't fit, they'll have to give you your money back.

Hey pekingduck. Can I ask how much you paid for the FRS? A buddy of mine wants to know. Did you get pure pricing?
