Well with a grand total of just over 6,000 in the country since they started (not subtracting the probable 500 or so that have been wrecked already) I doubt that you have as many as it may appear! Here in London they sold 24 FRSs so far and I know at least one went out of town.


To put things in perspective the Chrysler Windsor Assembly Plant builds 72 mini vans an hour, three 8 hour shifts a day, 6 days a week for 49 weeks a year. You do the math, it is almost my bed time.

I had a friend who owned one of these. The worst part was that you had to raise the motor to change the spark plugs, which it ate like candy. Best part was it would beat anyone on the street.

Or they recognize you're part of Team Lava and respect your amazing car so they park away from it to protect it and gaze on its Lava majesty from afar
