Worst day ever.I can kick myself for that.

Thanks. I think it is the darkest I can have on the sides in order to pass state inspections.

So here is the picture of my bumper, as you can see the passenger side seems to have a little more of a gap than the driver side.Any body got any ideas on how to remedy this problem?

I go every month, but I'm usually in my 370z. If, as my dealer hints but doesn't promise, my order comes in for my BRZ before the next C & C, I'll go in the BRZ (crosses fingers !)

It may be July, but if not then August. In any event, I'll look for the BRZs/FRSs at C & C in a couple of weeks!

Just spotted that WRB BRZ on 45th near Mopac this morning! Wonder who this mysterious guy is, and if he thought the same when he saw my Hot Lava FRS

Wasn't me, just got my plates tonight. Glad/sad to hear there's another Asphalt FRS on the road though

couldn't start my car after parking in the garage for a day (due to that nasty rain last night) today. i think i may have left a light on or something. i decided to test out Scion Boost service, they pin-pointed my location from my phone GPS exactly which is quite impressive. they offered to send someone out tonight but i didn't plan on driving tonight so i scheduled for tmr morning.

so overall:

- 10/10 for ease of use (you can set your phone number to your car so you don't have to remember your VIN number every time, plus the service boost card was convenient)

- 10/10 for reach-ability (available 24/7 and within 1 hour notice, alert modes include text, call, email)

- Update1: 10/10 for service guy. He was on time. He drove a TRD Corolla and he knew about the whole setting the radio type of the FRS thing. Cool lad!

Nice to know! Did you just call the number from the card we got, or do you have an app?
