Free swag, sure. But that doesn't require the party.

The rest.. no. I'd rather be driving my new car.

Haha hey no harm in free food/drinks! Not sure if you got the part that I'm not a First 86er so the party would be a dealer-funded event. Get a few pictures taken of me and my new delivery (which I want anyways) then on the road to enjoy my FR-S!

Congrats! :happy0180:

Whenever I walk into my dealership they refer to me as "the 86 Guy". They even paged the manager that way once. "Joe, please come to the desk, the 86 Guy is here to see you".

Yeah, seems like most non-86ers are getting bounced around with when we can receive the car. I've gotten moved twice already, and the dealer is finally saying "Wednesday, but we're not sure." Sounds like what's happening is that the cars get delivered to nearby distribution centers but then corporate holds them back - most likely until the official release date on the 1st (which sucks). I'm still hoping that they'll release my Asphalt MT before then, but I'm starting to think it's not happening.

Yes, most if not all dealers are getting their FR-s Memorial Day Week. I am. Of Course they are having a party. Its Memorial Day weekend! The are going to have hunderds of people at their dealership. Buying cars. Your will FR-s will be right on the showroom floor for all to see. Lean on, sit in, and breath on wrong. If your not a first 86er your not taking your car off the lot before 6/1/2012. Loaner car I see. Being Teased. Free of charge? Have you pre-negotiated a deal with them? I smell mark up in your future.

You seem like a genuine cool guy.
If my uncle didn't work for Scion, I would buy my car from you.

Well actually their showroom and offices are under construction so if anything the car will be parked outside and the manager assured me that they don't even touch the car until I'm there. I'll be there for the ride to get gas and when they pull the packaging wraps off. And I already finalized the deal. I have a buyers order so no mark ups for me. Yes, free loaner I've been driving it for almost a week now . Also, when they get the car they are letting me drive it home.
