Rock's Raven
Here's my Raven AT FRS, it is completely bone stock except for an application of Optiguard. Love the automatic in this car by the way, manual mode is friggin' amazing.
These pictures were taken with my phone, sorry about quality. |

Oh yeah, if you are buying a new FRS at a Toyota dealer you may want to option out of the Free Autobutler coat they apply as it's a pain to clean off and leaves a serious haze. I should have done a 50/50 comparison while it was getting rmoved.
Eric @ Trushine Detailing did an awesome job on the car, pictures don't do it justice. |

On a side note - how do you change gears? is there still a clutch or clutch like trigger you have to depress when changing gears in an automatic? |

1) Better Gas Mileage 2) Needed to be drivable by the Wife as well 3) Awesome reviews of the Automatic, and I also had the opportunity to test drive it as well 4) It will be a daily driver 5) Shifting is almost instantaneous Anyways, in regards to the shifting, once you slip it into manual mode you can use the paddle shifters or use the gear shifter to change gears. One neat feature is the automatic down shifting that the automatic will do for you in manual mode as you come to a stop. |

The AT in manual mode is incredibly fun. Feels like a video game.
