Frs Colorado

So i ordered my FRs on 05/12/2012 and i received it on 06/07/2012 and registered it on 07/18/2012 in the state of colorado.

so in my 2 months of ownership so far, we have had a few adventures. We went to the opening weekend of the colorado renaissance festival. It was a great drive to and from the festival grounds but the dirt parking lot was not a great place for the car. Thankfully the ground clearence was enough to avoid damage of any sort.

The following week i gave it a nice car wash. It was pretty tiring but it turned out well.

Sometimes on my day off i take her up into the mountains on my motorcycle route and it handles very good on the mountain roads. If i need to pass, i just downshift and add throttle and im off.

On aug 8 my girlfriend, me, and the frs went to the Motley Crue and Kiss concert. It was my first concert ever to be honest and it was amazing. We left a couple of songs early to beat the traffic. Did not want to put it in harms way.

Currently i am considering entering it into the kpbi rock and roll car show at the end of august. anybody think its worth the $25 to show off my stock frs?

The first private frs i have seen other than my own. My frs is the first one i have seen, some how i have avoided running into any on the road or seeing the blue one that was also at the dealership or going to an auto show that had one. So thats a pretty cool thing me and my frs gets to share. And heres the second. to be technical its the 4th frs or 5th of the clones. soooooo to break it down:
1st sighting: my frs parked infront of the two supras of the owners of interstate toyota.
2nd: blue frs parked on the scion lot of interstate toyota
3rd: BRz that the neighbor of a friend of mine owns
4th: Hot lava frs parked outside the toyota dealership on college st in fort collins when foco was dealing with the huge fire
5th: this red frs on 28th st in boulder
6th: well, still waiting on 6th lol

That's fair but I absolutely love them on this car lol unlike most people on here, I don't like the wheels with lots of spokes. I would have went with rays but that's out of my price range
