"Landmark" FR-S Photos from Around the World
I happen to be a fan of those snapshots in various mags of someone with their magazine in an unusual place. I figure, now that they are hitting the road, lets show off our cars in places folks would consider landmarks.
Here are the (not really enforced) rules: It should be a photo or your FR-S and a famous or infamous landmark of some sort. It can be a roadside landmark (like mine below), or a historical landmark, like in front of the Washington Monument. It can also be a geographical landmark or point of interest, like Cumberland Gap or the first FR-S straddling the Equator. It should be a unique spot. Once someone claims it, its theirs, you can't reuse it. Only exception to the reuse rule is when you can bring an additional car to the spot for photo. So, for example, you want to use my shot, you have to have 2 FR-Ss at the landmark. I look forward to seeing everyone's photo and comments! Please include the location in the subject, and then some details behind the location with the photo. People want to know! BR-Z folks, feel free to add here or start your own thread.

The Big Chicken - Marietta, GA
If you've ever spent any time in Atlanta you've probably heard of or seen The Big Chicken.
Can't tell it from the photo but the eyes roll around and the beak opens and closes. True Southern Folk Art that one. It's a standard nav point here. "To get to my house, go to the Big Chicken, turn left and head west for 10.2 miles, then go right at The Waffle House, right past Chik-fila". @TriForce and I met up here today so he could get a look at my FR-S. We had a great time meeting and sharing our interests in the car. As you can see, even BigChickenHawk approves of Firestorm Red! Last edited by Dadhawk; 10-19-2020 at 01:32 PM. |

Here's mine in front of the Seaholm Power Plant in Austin - one of many local landmarks. It's got very cool art-deco styling and the letters light up bright and red at night. They're actually in the process of gutting it and turning it into an events center.

Hey DH, how's the Firestorm red doing with dirt? I'm quite interested in red for the FRS, but hate colors that make dirt extremely visible..
