We were discussing this on Twitter the other day.  Scion has to nail the sub 24k price point to keep the brand image up.  Considering the tC starts in the mid-19k range, a starting price for the FR-S in the high 23s to low 24s makes sense.  I think we’d be asking a lot to see it priced at $20k - $21k.  The FR-S can get away with the same or slightly higher pricetag than the starter BRZ because it has a the “hip” factor working for it.  Scion will throw some flair in the mix and sell it a bit more upscale than the Subaru.  The 24k price point is crucial though since that’s deep in the heart of V6 Mustang and Genesis territory.

Al, I used a 300 f2.8 and 70-200 for 10 and a 24-70 and 70-200 at 6-7. Thanks for all you do as a corner worker!!

Derek,

Nice!  What color did you get?

Amir,

We're still here but we all do this outside of the day job. Right now
the day job has been keeping us from updating as much as we'd like but
we have to pay the bills. Stay tuned, lots more content in the works
:)

We did check out the Porsche Zentrum, lots of wonderful vehicles for sale there too.  There are a few photos of the dealer in the gallery.

We had schnitzel overdose and managed 160 on the Autobahn in the S4 Avant we were driving.  It’s something everyone should do as many times as they possibly can before they die.

Remember Sebring and Petit Le Mans? Not to mention, they won Le Mans
by attrition, not because of a superior car.

I just want to add that I wish nothing but the best for Mike Spinelli and the rest of the crew over there. No matter where they end up, no one was more instrumental in getting this website up and running than Mike Spinelli by linking back to us several times when he was at Jalopnik. Mike is one of the nicest people I've ever met in ths industry and will be an asset to any organization he is a part of. Cheers Mike.

That is indeed a bus lapping the ring J

Sometimes you simply can't help it because the person in the left lane is asleep at the wheel. For the most part though, drivers stayed out of the left lane except to pass. That 1-series was just tooling along there well below the speed limit, even in the construction zone.
