The only real solution is to get a red one just for the track, and have the back one as dd. LottoMax is $50 million tomorrow right?

Congrats Demandred7!

I know what you mean. My alternate would have been asphalt. I would try different mods on each one or like you say track one and the other can be your dd. I usually don't go for the LottoMax, but, $50 million is hard to pass up.

Took my car to the track after break in period was over. Had to go to the track for some open lapping of course

Looks like a real blast. Can't wait till my break in is done. I am only 10% complete.

Great video. I was doing a similar lapping day at Mospost two weeks ago. Damn! I was a blast.

Next time you see something like that, post it. I'm sure lots of us would like to go, but may have not seen it advertized anywhere.

I'm definitely up for a track day. I've only got 650km's so far though, got a few to go


On a side note Sal, turns out we have a few mutual friends, Mircea, Dave, Alex, Nelu. I was showing them my BRZ, and they were talking about your FRS and I recognized the name from the forums.

I was in the McDonald's drivethrough (they have excellent coffee) on Northfield at 2:30pm today and recognized the roofline of a car in my rear view mirror. A check in my side mirror confirmed it: a Whiteout FR-S.

Is it bad when you know a car from only the roof?

So, was it worth the wait? How long was your first drive home? My frist drive home took two and a half hours. (I live 16km from work. lol)
The road just never seemed to point that way.

Yes well worth the wait it's now 5pm and I'm just getting home I live 6 mins from the dealership! Got a thumbs up from a dude rolling a Lotus that was pretty epic!

Matt and Steve at Guelph Scion totally hooked me up, awesome buying experience!

Anyone from TMMC here?

Can you TMMC guys pull strings? My dad worked there for 16 years and claims his connections can't help with this, but maybe you guys can.

I ordered mine July 7th (Firestorm MT at Heffner Toyota) and still have no delivery date in site, so don't get too excited yet.

Sorry no connections ,have you tried a different dealer I signed the papers for mine on a Saturday and picked it up a week later that was from Cambridge scion try giving them a call or I would start calling heffner every day until they give you a delivery date or if you have a vin number they should be able to give you a build date on the car

I have been hearing that the FR-S has been flying off the lots when they come in. They barely stay for hours let alone days.

I had requested test drives from Cambridge, Heffner, and Guelph for an AT. I had originally thought to just test drive the vehicle and then order one, but, the car that I test drove was available for sale and ordering one would be a minimum of weeks and if I wanted a rare colour, it might even be months (they are built in Japan after all). I fell in love with the car and did not want to wait.

As a matter of fact, I almost missed out on the car because I was staining my deck when I received a reply from Guelph Scion that one was available. Luckily it was late in the day and the next day was raining. I went to the dealership as early as I could.

I guess what I am trying to say (in a long winded kind of way), no one is getting any special favours. Sometimes it is a matter of being at the right place at the right time. Being persistant will pay off with an answer eventually. And like ZiggyZag420 said, if you have a VIN, they should at least be able to search it and give you a rough estimate.
