Ahahahahahaha. I'm on the forums for S* and giggles. Definitely not being paid to do it (only if!!!!). I'm just trying to show that there are a few normal, honest guys out there selling cars lol. But it probably helps that I started and maintained our online Parts Department presence... along with teaching our staff about aftermarket parts (suspensions, wheel fitment, superchargers, etc... not air fresheners and car waxes)... and a few other things.

But, again, in their defense, sometimes corporate doesn't give all the info to the dealership. I only knew about all the freebies because I worked with the companies that deal with it (my friend works on the t-shirts/giveaway items for Scion; I visited Five Axis on the day they happened to be finishing up the CF frames).

You're a badass, and you're modest.

I guess so... I didn't see a jacket. I saw some Scion branded back packs though.

One of the corporate reps left me a gift bag for me but someone stole it from my desk ( apparently?) OR I totally misunderstood what he said to me, lol.

If it makes you feel any better I didn't get any of the above either. I did get a small banner, maybe 3x6 from my regional manager. I'll post a pic soon.

I'm not one of the 1st 86, but I got an FR-S branded tire pressure gauge when I went for my dealer's "pre-order" test drive event.

Took delivery of mine on 5/11. The dealer give me:

- FRS carbon fiber license plate frame numbered 69 of 86

- Black FRS hat

- FRS stainless steel pen in numbered case

- $100 NOT $200 gas card like I've heard others received (not sure if the dealer kept the other 100!)

- Black FR-S shirt with red FR-S on front

- Multi-function electronic device and coin holder

What I didn't receive:

- FR-S car cover

- FRS black nylon coat
