Spotted a Raven FR-S parked on the corner of Lombard and Buchanan. You had tinted windows, five axis kit, lowered, 86 piston badge on the rear, no plates, and I think XXR wheels. Anyone here? I'm visiting from SoCal.

Saw a red FRS on my to work this morning in Rancho Cordova. I'm not sure the driver recognized my red BRZ. It was most likely too early in the morning.

Black FRS in half moon bay around 4:30 I think

what's weird is that according to the guy at SF Toyota/Scion, they are the number one selling dealership selling the FRS. I just don't see any around....so weird.

dunno about others but I don't trust taking my ride to SF streets.. my tC got random cuts/scrapes from other dumbasses up there.

Exactly.. SF is a crap drive for the most part, crappy roads with constant potholes/bumps, tons of steep hills and stop n go, bums and randon drunks galore. Vandals who break mirrors for the hell of it and smash and grab thieves...... Oh and dont get me started on the parking...

Love the town/hate the drive

A couple of other dealerships have told me something similar. I guess they think no one will compare notes

Same here. If I have to drive to SF I take the DD and even then I cringe

Tell me about it. Fucked up my bumper yesterday while I was in SF. Don't know/remember what I hit. Got a nice 8 inch gash on the driver side right below the faux fog light housing. I was extra careful too so I don't know how it happen. This is the last time I'm taking the car there.

Back on topic, I was sad that I didn't see any FRS or BRZ at all.

I saw a red FR-S in Palo Alto yesterday around 1:00pm. Caught it at the last second while I was walking to lunch so that's all I got...

Also about a week ago saw a white FR-S get on 680N at about 6pm near the Sunol grade. Pulled up alongside and gave a thumbs-up and tried to talk to the guy but I don't think he heard anything I said. I was in my 02 WRX.

I see quite a few also.

I'm always in the Marina/SOMA/101 and 280 off ramps so I guess I see a bunch of commuters.
