Hi everyone! I'm Pete. I bought a Mazda 3 a few months before the FRS/BRZ came out because I needed a car. I'm trying wait a little longer before taking the plunge and buying another car, but the FRS (or BRZ) will be my next car. Until then, I'll be creeping around on the forums, drooling over your cars.

I'm Wagner. I ordered my FR-S at the end of January and picked it exactly 1 week ago. Great Car, just need to learn it more as it is both my first rear wheel drive car and first car I have bought.

lol, I stalked a few people on the forums while I was deployed too. I followed the car for years and then I deployed right when it came out. >.<

Hello all. I'm Brandon and currently own a Dodge Dart. I was on a time crunch to get a new car after returning from overseas last summer. I wish I would have known about the FR-S. I know it will be my next car and i'm impatiently waiting to get rid of my Dart. I just don't want to take too much of a hit on it.

Hey guys. My name's Ky and I was a long time fan of the car and this forum in particular before I registered as a user. This is actually the first forum I've ever joined. Currently working for the US govt overseas and am looking forward to the possibility of buying one of the twins when I return this summer. Thanks for all the information and advice you all provide!

Hi, I'm Mitch, this past August I was looking at getting either an auto FRS, or auto Mustang GT, but after deciding I needed a lower monthly payment, I got a manual 2004 Celica GT, love the car. So after three months, my engine spun a bearing, had to get a new engine. After a while, I realized I was now paying what I would have been paying if I had gotten a new 2013 car. So I'm now working on getting a manual FRS, going to craigslist my car, and see about paying off the engine loan, and 'refinance' my auto loan.

Here's to hoping I get into an FRS soon, though my little Celica is pretty fun, so I will at least have fun during the wait : ).

Hi! I'm Andi. Just got my FR-S last week and have been loving it. My husband may beat me in his S2000, but it's so fun that I don't care.

Hello !

Hello Everyone !

Just joined as I am also a fan of the FT86/FRS, I used to own a 2005 Celica TRD/Tsunami until last summer when I changed it for a new Asphalt Scion FR-S. I've had it since June 2012 but did not drive it a lot, around 4000km on the meter. I briefly thought I would miss the Celica, not so much. I have also had the dealer put the five axis skirts on it, looks awesome but the front lip is a bitch. I've already scratched a couple times.

I've initially bought it in Quebec, Canada but recently moved down to California and I opted to bring it with me seeing how readily available they are (not). Went driving on La Honda/Skyline last weekend and its a ride I recommend to everyone. Next is Pacific Coast Highway!

Cheers
