Yes, I went with bright red. Predictable, huh? I was hoping to go for yellow but unfortunately their new yellow is more like "highlighter yellow" or "high visibility vest yellow" i.e. has a lot of green in it. Not to my taste. I'm also very likely to replace my FR-S with a new BRZ this spring. The FR-S may not have many miles on it but years of Ottawa winters have taken their toll. Looking around at what else is available, there just isn't anything that appeals to me the way the twins do. Between the C8 and a new BRZ, it's turning out to be an expensive year for the old budget! |

Well played sir. You are right . There really isn't much out there these days that can compete with the twins. Hopefully the C8 shows up soon and I would love an opportunity to come out and have a look at it.Stay safe my friend.

You bet. When it arrives I'll be zipping around as much as I dare to accumulate those break-in miles ASAP. Be glad to head out your way too. Unfortunately I guess a ride is out of the question unless things turn dramatically better in the near future, the cockpit isn't wide enough for social distancing. |

And by truck. I passed a whole truck load of them going down the 401 last Thursday.

Two. As well as two yellow, a silver and a blue. Couldn't tell what the front two were as they were wrapped more than the rest.

Instead what happens is the cars are unloaded from a truck at the Toledo Ohio rail yard. Then they're loaded onto a train and sent to Montreal where they're unloaded again. Finally they're loaded onto another truck and hauled back west to Ottawa where they're unloaded once more. Sheesh, could they have found a more convoluted route? Ah well, have to make do with other springtime distractions... |

Edit: Interesting enough, the price is almost identical to the FR-S back in 2012. Base price has crept up as various niceties have been added over the years, but the discounts have risen too. List price is 200 bucks less than it was 2012. Last edited by Klinn; 05-12-2020 at 08:41 AM. |

It tends to move around town. We all went to the meet in Kanata for a while before it got shut down due to assbaggery. If you use Facebook feel free to join the FT86 group of Ottawa. We are much more active on there and meets tend to get organized weekly. |
