BRZ spotted in the wild (Atlanta) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Dadhawk · 05-09-2012, 11:51 AM

Saw this coming up in my rear view mirror on 5/8 in the afternoon rush in Atlanta in I-20 around Six Flags heading west.

It has a distributor tag and looked to be being driven by a (rather attractive and blonde) lady who unfortunately I could not get a photo of as the car zoomed by me.

First time I've seen an 86 on the road other than the test drive in Long Beach when I really wasn't paying attention. Couple of thoughts:

The red was absolutely gorgeous in the late afternoon sun and is not done justice in these photos.

The car looks bigger and more expensive than it is.

I loved the roofline from the rear view.

A LOT of folks around me were checking it (or her) out as she drove by.

Anyway, I was able to get off two shots as she zoomed by me.

Car looks great. Not feelin the center-mounted reflector in the rear though.

I assume you're talking the bottom reflector. The red portion is a fog light outside the US. When in LB I noticed that the punch out for the bulb is there, as well as the space, but no bulb. If I add fogs to my FR-S I'm considering wiring it up.

No pics of the blonde?!

Was she a secretary?

I know, I was going 65 (in a 55) and she passed me like I was standing still. Couldn't catch back up with her in the Accord I was driving. Very sad. At least I got a good photo of the redhead!

If she was, she wasn't going to be one for long I don't think. Also, it wasn't a Mustang!

(If MomHawk sees that, it will not be a pleasant night in the nest)

Would be interesting if you could get it wired up. I suspect one of my first mods will be to laminate/black it out.
