You're probably right Dad.

Its a deal kill based on numbers, but we've all said and heard all along that this car isnt about numbers.

Sometimes its just gut instinct or feeling, seat of the pants, etc plus having the chance to let Scion wine and dine me and sell me their car isnt something i'm gonna let go

28,500 out the door for the base model in california (after T/T/L/Reg)

the 500 deposit is refundable, they said you can test drive the car when it arrives at your dealer and take your money and leave or buy the car, Scion could care less if the first 86 buy the first 86 cars, EVERY SINGLE first 86 car will be purchased the exact day it hits that dealer wether the selected 86er buys it or not. The trip is about building hype for Scion and the car. So yes you can go.

drive it then make your decision, it is a pretty impressive little car.

I was only planning on spending 25k MAX on my new car at a estimated monthly payment of 260..going up 3 grand more will add about 90 dollars..i want to stay 300 or less..but i will have a higher down payment than originally expected..idk we'll see. considering i don't fit amazingly well i might pass, I'm still going to socal though

I want to pay it off in like 2 years tops.

Jeff just asked for my travel info, theres a reception on thursday I think the itinerary should be email'd out to us soon!

[Brett]

He said he'd have flight options for me soon. I really want an even flight on Thursday, because a day off work is too expensive! My preferred direct flight would put me in at 11PM, which is fine by me.

I recently got transferred/promoted and dont work weekends anymore...otherwise taking off 3 days for the trip woulda been brutal...
you might miss the 'reception' but if its just dinner, who cares, we'll save you some food for when u arrive...well we'll TRY

[chate]

On another note, if some of the first 86 drop out maybe they'll let me change my car's color i'm kinda diggin the white over the raven...

We'll save some of mine, I just lost 70lbs (on the way to a total of 90) so the FR-S is sort of an award car for me. Wouldn't want to blow it all that one weekend! (of course, keeping the others away from available food might be a problem)

whoa nice, 70lb is amazing...how'd u do it??

i'm a vegetarian, so ya'll can eat my animals

Mostly diet change. Turns out, I was eating too much. Who knew?!?

[Brett]

Nice work!
