Sweet. Tx2k13 is March 15th I think. I'm sure she'll be ready by then

GUYS! I need you to do me a huge favor. Calling all Lexus LFA's...... preferably white.

I want to shoot a video of my white Five Axis turbo FR-S vs a white LFA.

Drag strip or highway, whatever. Our power/weight specs are almost identical and should post a similar quarter mile.

If anyone has any pull, that would be great.

anyone have any experience with free subaru dealer services? any idea what kind of oil they use?

brillo · 02-02-2013, 08:15 PM

Almost pulled the trigger on a red FRS but found out it had been used at the autoshow as a display unit and it has some faint paint scratches. I could have buffed them out but when they tried to screw me with forced paint protectant I walked.

Champion had a used red FRS (like 9,000mi) but they wanted $26.6k and it had paint damage .... Not sure what they are smoking.

I got my deposit back from the other dealer so now I'm free to buy where ever. Let me know if anyone sees a red one for sale.

If you feel like driving up to dallas they always seem to have one in stock. I bought mine from Cowboy Toyota and they were really easy to deal with. Of course, it's four hours away from Houston but still better than one of the guys from austin who drove to arizona to buy his blue FRS.

Check autotrader and cars.com, sometimes you'll get a hit on one that hasn't been sold yet.

If you drive around dealerships in Houston, there's a bunch of FRS's for sale...

Who lives right by memorial city mall and drives a nice looking asphalt? Was lost and stumbled upon your car in your driveway.

brillo · 02-04-2013, 03:28 PM

Thats not me but I live right behind memorial city mall and will hopefully have my FRS shortly. Would be great to have some FR-S neighbors.

You should check out Star Toyota. I am not sure if they have a red one, but they had a silver and dark grey the other day. Had a great experience with Keith Bias there, and will go back to them if the 2014s have different color options. Got mine in late May and they fended off lots of people (was their first FR-S on the lot). Their service department is great to. Talked to one of the guys for 30min about the FR-S and its features.
