But chances are your probably going to visit the forums every hour or so while googling scion FR-S for most recent news.

... Not saying thats what I did or anything... ¬_¬



Luckily my car came in about 1 week earlier than their expected delivery date.

So you don't hyperventilate.

I was told mine is coming between July 9-13, so am thinking that the paper bag may be an idea!!

hahah, i needed that when my saleschick went from telling me a July 10 delivery to a "not sure, its not here anymore" delivery

Bugged the crap outta my sales guy through the whole process with noob questions, started looking at which parts/accessories/whatever I wanted to buy first (Toyota badges, beat sonic antenna, license plate relocator, etc), started sleeping really early to fast forward the days - I went to bed at 8:30 one night lol

You are going to be such a wreck for the next couple of days

i also googled, youtube'd, all sorts of pictures and videos of the car. wife thought (thinks?) i'm going crazy.

but i just received the greatest news this morning. my car has arrived at the dealership! will be going to finalize paperwork and pick it up this evening.

I'm in a similar situation with the Mrs. She too thinks I could turn it down a notch with the obsession/oogling of GT86 pics and videos.

Watch TopGearUK 15 times! Congrats on asphalt! Beauuuuutiful color :-)

I still do those things! My salesman is a genuinely patient fellow (it's AFTAB at Al-Futtaim Toyota, DFC).

I'm in Norway. The 86 was opened for sales late may, but isn't officially launched here until late august. I've finally seen it in the flesh though, the car is doing a promo tour around the country these days. My initial delivery date was "around Q1 '13", so they're still in the ballpark. I ordered mine as soon as the preorders opened.

Worst part is that people ordering now are told they might get delivery as early as october, so there's still hope for an early delivery.

Ah that explains it, hope they don't keep you waiting for long!

I don't mind the Scion badge actually, I think I'm more bothered by the little wiry antenna on the top haha. I've been sleeping early too, but not 8:30 early

Was recently told by the dealer that my Firestorm MT would be arriving within 10 days. I hope he's right because I couldn't bare much longer than that.. I've watched Nino's video (Barcelona to Budapest in the GT86) probably around 7-8 times in the past 2 days... And Chris Harris's Drive video close to 15-20 times this past week... I want it so bad.
