Nope, just called Ray Brandt. I'll make a few more calls though. It'll be next Tuesday before I get home, so I have a little time.

Just went to Lakeside Toyota to get my tail light replaced, they have an ultramarine that they said wasn't sold yet.

Just picked up some Enkei OR52's, will throw them on the FR-S later for pics. So tempted to drift the FR-S sunday rather than the 240, but then it'd be like, what's the point of having the 240? :\

The blue may be sold. My buddy went and looked yesterday and he is suppose to be going back in to get it.

Btw my girlfriend works there, she was telling me they had a white one in there for the light and I was trying to get out of work to come check it out!

Anyone know who has the black one with wheels and I believe exhaust? Saw it across from lakeside mall yesterday by Phil's Grill.

Did your friend buy the ultramarine? That's what I was looking for originally.

[Sco2355]

No, he went and looked but ended up backing down because he's stingy with his money.

When I went to see my girlfriend 2 days ago at Lakeside it was still there. Took a look at it. I fixed the "trunk issue" but it does have a big scratch on the trunk lid. Retards didn't know there was a valet switch inside the trunk that will disable the car button and key fob release. Just letting you know.

It also had the upgraded sound system with 6spd manual. I'm pretty sure it's still there. Just give them a call.

Just got off the phone with Troy at Lakeside.... About to put down my deposit. He was unaware of the trunk scratch though.

instant update:

SOMEBODY IS TEST DRIVING IT RIGHT NOW!!!

I'll be getting a phone call when they get back to let me know if I can place my deposit or if the car has been sold....

Why couldn't you go out there right away?

[boucher]

I'm offshore right now. I tried real hard, but they wouldn't let the crew boat take me in lol.



Seems I called about 15 minutes too late...

better not be an old fart with a midlife crisis keeping it only for sunday rides when it should be daily driven and put sideways at the track by a car enthusiast.

I've seen a couple older people with them and for the most part they just sit in the drive way....Such a waste.

You really can't know what people are doing with them when you're not looking. I used to live down the street from a pristine Z3 M Coupe. It was there so often, I thought it never got driven. Until I one day I noticed the "Barber Motorsports Park" plate. Doesn't necessarily mean he tracked it, but it made me stop to think the owner might know what he's doing. And even if a good number of people aren't really driving these cars right now, that just means that there will be some clean examples in the used market in a few years. It's not like this is some limited run of less than 1000 where it's a crying shame if they aren't getting driven. As long as the owners are putting some miles on them and enjoying them, then that's just fine. Enthusiasts come in all flavors.
