23 Spyders vs 1 FR-S

A bunch of members of Spyderchat and Spyderweb are heading down to The Tail of the Dragon on April 12-14th. At least four members have gone over to the dark side and purchased BRZ/FR-S. One guy has decided to bring his FR-S to the meet instead of his Spyder. I am sure he will be the focus of a lot of goodnatured ribbing.

To make matters even more interesting the s2000 club will be at the Dragon the same weekend.

I'll be there with the s2000 crew in my FR-S. Firestorm, lowered on grey 57DRs. You can surely find me out after dark on Friday and Saturday nights

That's awesome. I'm a former Spyder owner and in someways the FR-S is Toyota's successor to the MR-S (just FR, not MR). Should be 20 Spyders vs. 4 86s so those on the dark side can collectively enjoy their new toys (deep down inside I know they want to ).

Nah, my local backroads are enough for me to explore and stay occupied.

You must be in the northwest. The mountain range between Idaho and its western neighbors is the best in america. Imho.

I'll be looking for you. It shouldn't be hard to spot an orange FR-S.
