I drove to Vegas to trade my 2.5RS for the WRX I have now. It was a great trip. Enjoy Colorado and try not to fall alseep in Iowa/Nebraska.

Ah, that makes sense then. I hope you are getting a hell of a discount having to wait until June!!

Hey Michiganders!
Residing in the 616, Grand Rapids. I've been waiting to hear word on 2014 specs but nothing has really been announced but I have been in talks with Scion of GR about picking up a (potentially asphalt or whiteout) 2013 FRS in late April/early May!

If you want any input in regards to your color choice, it seems like the majority of people narrowed it down to these two, and at our meets EVERYONE chose white. I love my whiteout, but racecaresuaceb did show up in whatever the Subaru equivalent of asphalt is and there were more than a few long pauses by us white owners as we considered what might have been . If I had it to do again I'd probably go whiteout again, but if uniqueness is at all a concern I'd say asphalt all the way.

I'm in Dearborn, working in the ren cen. I'm planning on buying an FRS/BRZ in early April.

I'm going to try to get a BRZ because I like the keyless entry/ignition on the limited trim and my discount through work makes it only slightly more expensive than an FRS but should I not be able to find a limited BRZ in a reasonable range, I'm going to buy an FRS. Honestly, I'll be happy whichever one I get.

Thanks for the insight , I just test drove a whiteout yesterday with the 5axis kit and 19" rims and I gotta say...whiteout is soo purddy!! Not a fan of the lip kit but the paint job looks so much better in person. I think I'm going whiteout...

Working at the ren cen... I assume you work for GM? How are you getting a work discount?

I work for a company called Urban Science. I actually get a discount at most of the major manufacturers. Unfortunately Toyota isn't one of them but Subaru is.

We picked up a guy from Urban Science a few months ago. We are on the same project at the moment.

I started here about 2 months ago so I don't think I would know him.

Sorry for the double post.

I just test drove an FRS today at Lafontaine Scion in Dearborn. (It's going to be a very difficult month waiting to buy one. Decided to be financially smart and not spend every cent I have on a car right now) After the drive, I stopped for lunch and parked next to a Whiteout FRS. Belong to anyone on here? Spotted in parking lot behind Panera Cares / BWW in Dearborn on Michigan Ave around 11:30am today.
