I think you were the first FR-S I saw in 'the wild'..during a lunch break one day a while back (the car still had dealer tags). I believe I know where you work; I'm employed by a contractor for NASA too...

Spotted a young lady driving a Firestorm FR-S this morning, once again in Richardson near Spring Valley. I caught up to them to honk and wave, might have startled her it seems!

Btw, spotted SWAMechFRS (Jeff) this evening... Good meeting and chatting with you, my friend!

We may need to hold a local BRZ / FR-S meet or track day in the near future!

Very cool to see some people in the Clear Lake area! I've seen a white FR-S in Friendswood on 528 and a silver FR-S at the leasing office of my Amalfi apartments.

I don't have my FR-S yet - getting it in September or October - but I haven't seen any reds yet so I hope to be one of the first in the area! Though my girlfriend did see one on 45.

White FRS is probably me. And I used to live in Amalfi.

5-10 minutes ago: Black FR-S (or BRZ?) heading south on Coit road and crossing 15th street (Plano).

I finally saw a BRZ on the road about twenty minutes ago here in Richardson. I was coming north on Greenville, almost to Walnut, where the car was headed south. It was dark out (obviously) so I wasn't able to really see what color it was, all I know is that it was a dark color. Definitely a BRZ because what caught my eye was the boomerang/headlight combo. Was it one of you guys?

Not me. Come down to Las Colinas then you'll see me. Been driving it daily to reach 1k sooner. Then after that I'll alternate my DD's to keep the tires round on my other car :-)

Black FR-S (female driver) heading south on Ohio and then taking it east on Spring Creek (Plano, of course).

Stuck my hand out to wave, but she did not spot me in my FR-S... Car looked sweet.
