Not the usual "I picked up my car today" story
So I picked up my car today, and who do you suppose was there to congratulate me on my new purchase? Oh, I don't know...only the chief engineer and claimed 'visionary' of the FR-S/86 Tetsuya freakin Tada!
The guy was really cool to talk to, and even signed my dash |

Incredible! Congrats on the surprise!
I hope he explained how and why everything works ....Now you sure I can just use regular gas? That's what my dealer told me during pickup. Seriously though I hope he's doing this internationally...would love to hear a story from Canada and other regions too. Glad to hear he's a great guy and you had a wonderful experience. |

Man, you need to get a new dash, ASAP! Pull that out and frame it, maybe swap it back in for car shows.
