I drive a Hot Lava, 6MT, live in the Schaumburg area, work in the Northbrook/Glenview area, so if you see a hot lava FR-S around there, that's probably me

Oh, and I bought it/took delivery on 7/5/2012

Nice! Im from Schaumburg as well, hope to see you around.

For sure man. Holler at me if you want to go cruising some time. I've never drifted or auto-x'ed or anything like that, but I would be down to go to some of those events.

I also have a buddy that lives in Ohio, who drives a BRZ. He's originally from the area, so if there's something going on, he'd definitely be down too, probably with some advance notice or what not.

I'm very surprised too! Work for me is not exactly 'close' to Wildfire, per se (if you work at the on on Patriot Boulevard), I work basically across the street from Underwriters Labs on Pfingsten Road.

Guess I'll have to make it over there for lunch one of these days!

Well, thankfully I'm the senior bartender there, so I don't work weekday lunches anymore, but if you came by after work on tuesdays (after 3:30) you'll run in to me.

I work in Rolling Meadows on Golf Rd in the Continental Towers. I keep looking for FR-S drivers but so far I've only seen one BRZ driving an one FR-S parked. Want to see more! I don't know why but I felt giddy when I saw someone in their BRZ on Oakton in Niles - wanted to give a thumbs up but they were in a turn lane.

This week I saw a raven west bound on roosevelt thursday around 7pm (i was walking to the bears game from the roosevelt stop).

I also saw a CBS limited east bound on peterson just after western monday @4:45pm on my way to work.

there are too many local owners not on this forum.

I TOTALLY agree. The twins are still so new that I can't imagine an owner NOT knowing about this site. The first buyers of cars like ours tend to be enthusiasts in the know. At least, one would hope as much.

One more here. A Dark Gray BRZ in the northern suburbs.

This is a SUPER long shot, but did you happen to be at the Meijer at the corner of Schick and Gary, say, 3 weeks ago? I gave a guy in a whiteout FR-S a cheesy grin and a thumbs up while pointing to my car
