I bought it off the lot in MA, actually put my deposit down while it was still on the truck, these things go quick.

Very nice, Hot Lava was my number 3 color choice. I was even more impressed with the color after I saw it in person.

Congrats! but damn this was a long waiting period. I would've shot myself already lol.

Hot lava is nice, i was contemplating between that and ultramarine. Which dealership did you get yours from? I saw one at Fordham and was close to getting it.

Balise Toyota in West Springfield MA, great dealer made everything really simple. I found it by just searching for all new FR-S's in a 250 mile radius of my ZIP.

Yea i love the color it reacts to light so well going from an almost scarlet color in the afternoon to nearly being yellow mid-day.

Why not? If the dealer has the car you want, go get it. A 2-3 hour drive beats waiting 3 months. I went from Chicago to Virginia to get my MR2.

I don't know... I just guessed since I was on the hunt for it since day one I was able to check out the firestorm, ultramarine, and hot lava. Somehow I ended up with a Raven though haha The only one I wish I saw which I didn't was the whiteout. Maybe I was just lucky or NYC has more in stock, but I just thought if you looked hard enough you would find one. Maybe not so much in other areas.
