Theres a red auto auto available for test drives but its a bit out of the way, north suburbs, northbrook Toyota scion. Gotta say, car lives up to the hype. Steering is like telekinetic.

Down in champaign myself. I have a gloss black tc now... I love it however the swirls are killer after a few washes in the winter. So I went with asphalt this time around. Should have it this week. Raven is sexy though.. Need to see these in person to make a final choice.

I see grossinger has 2 more frs up. A raven and an asphalt.
The Raven was the one I have and the Asphalt was picked up during the past week. That might have been their First 86er. There aren't any FR-Ss appearing in their online inventory as of 5/27.
According to another "in the know" board member (Moto-P, I think), FR-Ss sold to non First 86ers prior to June 1st are First 86 cars that were turned down. I can't confirm or deny that but just in case I'd like to thank the First 86er that turned down this Raven skinned beauty.

I'm guessing that dealers that got first 86 cars also got the rest of their initial allocation at the same time, so if grossinger was getting 2 cars, one was the first 86 asphalt and they got their second car which was your raven.

it's cheaper to deliver 2 cars at once then one car twice.
