As to aftermarket solutions, I prefer chronic.

Well, I am currently deployed to afghanistan. I've been here since last june. I won't be leaving this place till probably late may/early june. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to afford it. My best advice is to save whatever you can during basic and tech school, then use that as a down-payment.

Good luck man my brother was down there. After basic and tech I should have around 10gs for the down payment . . . doesn't sound TOO bad.

Damn man since 05?
Ok wow if you don't fit, Toyota should make a special edition for you with a slightly modified seating position, because if you have been following it THAT long, I don't thin that there is a more deserving person for this car out there.
Seriously

Oh indeed I am or I wouldn't have registered, or even posted for the matter. I'm just not rushing myself.

Till I know my 6'7ness can fit. I won't over excite myself. Although one of the Jalponik fellas whom is 6'3, seemed to report a comfortable fit into a BRZ.

you've got a point. but @ 6'5" i SHOULD be able to fit in this car, especially if someone who is 6'3" can do it, and @ that probably 6'3" w/ his shoes off.

But when I know I can fit comfortably, i'll be doing this at the Scion dealerships :

I refuse to give in just yet even though I've been waiting for this car for a long time too. I hear ya poorman but stuff like this is what the marketing team wants us all to feel, that "I must go out and have it right now!". Don't give in, don't give in!

Because I've owned a fair share of cars and motorcycles I've learned to tune that out and be patient.

I still don't know why they haven't announced the price yet too! That's such

Is it me or is news for the FRS, BRZ, FT86... recently dead in the water. There hasn't been too much news regarding the car ever since the past Tokyo and Detroit shows. Or maybe I should stop checking the forum for news every hour..

Besides the price, everything has already been thrown out there. What the marketing team @ Scion is now doing is waiting for the right time to throw out the price; just like a fisherman throwing out chum before casting their line trying to get those first 86 buyers!

There's only one piece of the puzzle left to finish the picture. Scion and Subaru know that there are already idiots (like me) putting deposits down for theses cars, so they're in no rush to let the cat out of the bag.

basically they've got all of us (since we're mostly guys) by the balls. that isn't cool.

sorry to be so graphic.
