If you're talking about MrFRsLA, then no. He might just have a lot on his plate right now. A lot of dealers are going through so much especially when everyone is calling for one car. so if he seems pushy its because of the staggering amount of people he has to deal with. When i spoke to him he was real informative and patient.

I spoke to my local dealer and he said he had 28 calls in one day about the FRS, so you got to understand that they're people too.

Yup. He replied to my PM here similar to how a lot of dealers do when I email about a car: "call me for more info", which I hate because e-mail is more convenient for me.

But when I did give MrFRsLa a call, he was pretty cool. Told me what was going on on the FRS side, and just took my name, number, color and transmission I wanted.

He also said that no dealers are taking any deposits or even pre-orders. They're just taking names and color/transmission preferences, then they're going to be giving the customers a call when they get a car matching that customer's preference. This is news to me, but then again I don't hang out over on the FR-S side.

I also asked if they had an FR-S on their showroom floor, and he said they were expecting one around June 1st.

That's awesome 86! I'm crying that I got skipped in the preorder list and my DGM is still wait listed.

Post a ton of pics at the end of the month.

Congrats again.
