THEY GROW UP SO FAST! I picked up my FR-S one year ago today!!! Happy Birthday!

Finally took her out of storage this morning. My god I missed this thing...

(technically it wasn't today's date but it was this Friday a year ago that I got her)

Not quite ready to start driving it regularly ... but the occasional whirl around the block will be happening

Hey everyone! Just picked it up today, heres some more photos for now.

Just wanted to get this started and kick it off!

My woman doing the "SOOOON" look :P

Keeping this thing under 4k is torture, I'm not sure if I can keep doing it.

Congrats!
@Purdue FR-S, keen to see a pic of the rear to see how the TRD exhaust looks. Assume the dual tipped USA version rather than quad tip?

I saw your funny delivery pic in the general section so i had to come over here. Have fun with the car!

My buddy was a Boilermaker. Picking up a new car off the showroom floor... must be one of the greatest feelings ever!

Yeah it's dual tipped. I'll be doing some glamour shots at some point in the future (likely when I get the chance to wash it myself)

This will most likely happen next weekend.

And yes ... it was an AWESOME feeling picking it up off the show room floor lol

Very nice looking ride, Purdue FR-S!

(you're not going to be able to find it in the snow

)

Drive safe!

Haha thank you! I wasn't aware of this massive snow storm until someone mentioned it on here lol.

My biggest problem is the "oh god please don't let anything happen to my car" stage :P

I finally got a vid of the exhaust today, more pics to come later. It's posted in the engine/exhaust section

NorseLegend · 03-29-2013, 07:45 PM

Looks great! Have fun with it!

Baby's First Bath!

Took it to my rents this weekend and used the driveway to give her a bath!

Damn new cars are easier to clean than 15 year old ones lol.

Enjoy!

Nice! you got the white frs. I was kinda lonely when I first bought my brz. Now I can see some on purdue campus. p.s. idk how to post pictures lol

Purdue FR-S · 05-16-2013, 03:24 PM

Finally got some pictures from my first AutoX!

**Take note of the custom aero-tape I applied to give me that sweet 5hp gain!**

Dad was with me for a couple runs... trying to convince him to bring out his S2K:

PERRIN_Chris · 05-16-2013, 06:00 PM

Looks great! I bet that auto X was fun in the rain! I'd love to take my dad on that and see what he says when I get it sideways, haha!
