New here from Northern Virginia!

Just picked up my Asphalt FR-S today! I originally had it on order, but the wait was ridiculous. Fortunately I found one just over an hours drive away.

My name is Steve. I am in Canada, Calgary specifically. I have driven two consecutive volvo 240 station wagons and always lusted after my dad's old '71 Datsun 240z. That car is a thing of beauty and this is as close as I can get to his $4999 ultra driving machine. I have always driven RWD and I am unwilling to drive a car froma company that thinks 0-60 is more important than going through a corner. FR-S is the right way to make a sports car.

Hello all! I am a proud owner of the asphalt FR-S as of 6/6/12 and could not be happier! My previous car was a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 (liquid Silver).

Hello Everybody,

My name is Scott and I am new to the forums. I have been reading up on the 86 for quite some time now and obsess over all day and night. I am currently going to school at the University of North Texas and I am in my Senior year majoring in New Media Art. As of right now all I have is my truck but soon will have an FR-S. I have been to almost every dealership in the area trying to get a test drive, however most dealerships FR-S' have been claimed and have had no luck. This is the first car in a long time that has made me feel like a giddy little boy so excited looking forward to the day I own one. I told my self I wouldn't join the forum until I owned an 86 but figured yall wouldnt mind me joining the conversation. I look forward to the good times to come.

-Scott

Hi, I'm Kurt just got my FR-S last two Friday's ago and all I get are compliments. I was proud to myself because I did the right choice. I was considering A3, Camaro LT and Mustang but I already have a German and an American car so I told myself why not give Japanese car a try and so far I'm loving it.

Hey everyone! Just picked up my whiteout FR-S MT on Saturday. Sold my super-clean B16A-swapped CRX for the down payment. People told me I'd regret it, but so far I haven't looked back. How do you guys put up with all the attention you're getting!? The hype on this car is insane!

Absolutely love the car, and I look forward to meeting some of you guys at some meets!

Hello from the Mid Michigan area. Currently on my 2nd Mini, a MCS and while i love this car the 86 platform is becoming very intriguing.

I am on several call lists to test drive this car and I am looking forward to seeing how it feels.

Who knows, maybe this is the car to pull my rear out of the Mini...

Hey everyone, I'm Jonathan. I traded in my 2007 Camry LE for an Ultramarine FR-S yesterday, and so far I love how it drives. I feel pretty lucky too, since only a couple of dealerships have them around here and I found the color and transmission I wanted.

Hey everyone!

Looking at purchasing an FR-S in the next month or so. I'm coming from a 2011 White Camaro SS which we are personally modifying. When we're all said and done, we're looking at possibly 525-550hp NA. Maybe looking at doing a turbo setup down the line.

Check out everything here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188393

Can't wait to get my hands on a whiteout FSR and do something similar

My brother drives a 2012 Scion TC which he just got it like 3 months ago. He's kind of kicking himself for it now too lol. I think he'll be upgrading to an FR-S as well in the near future.

Keep it real guys

Nathan
