Welcome to the club!

When I bought my Asphalt MT there was only 2 of them in a 60 mile radius of me (in MT). Maybe less of them come in and we're extremely vocal online lol.

Thanks! I'm hoping that over time, there will be sufficient number of FRS and BRZ owners to have regular "meet ups."

Honestly, I don't understand most of the complaints I've read over the months... 'out of the box' this is one helluva car! Got the iPhone connected in 30 seconds (w/o having to read the manual)... after a bit of experimenting with the engage point... get out smoothly in 1st gear.. only chirped the rear tires once. (OK... maybe twice) :-)

Of course I'm taking it easy until I get some miles on it... but even with a small number of quasi-fast sprints through some back roads... the handling is amazing... (reminds me of S2000) the smile on my face is still there... hours after putting the puppy in the garage.

Arm rest?? Not really thinking this is a necessity... both hands on a great steering wheel... or right hand working the shifter... I'll probably withhold judgement on shelling out $$ for an arm rest.

Cup holders are indeed a joke... too small, too far back to be of any real use... no worries.. I don't think sipping a latte is a priority when driving this jewel! Bottle holders in doors are nice.

And.. this puppy gather's lookie-loos... this is just a sweet looking unit. And for under $25K... unreal.

I am one happy camper and glad to officially join the ranks of FRS owners.

Now... time to start thinking of some 'essential' mods...

#1 was to put the 4" Perrin antenna on...

Congrats. Enjoy the car to come for a long time
