Default Found an RS by accident...

Went to the dealer this morning intending to purchase a Blue XB (San Fernando Vallley, CA). Only saw one black and one white XB on the lot. The sales rep mentions that he saw an "Orange" XB roll in last night?!? :D We spent about a half hour looking for it. Finally after searching for it.. the rep found it as is was currently being prepped for show.

So of course my wife and I grabbed the bright little box. We are now proud owners of #7 of 2100 (as stated on the little plaque). WOOO HOO!!! All the reps at the dealership were extra excited to see their first aand only RS roll out. Many of them had never even seen the car until then.

That is awesome! I can't tell you how much I'd jump on a RS if something happened to my current box!

Sure... we could go to the Cerritos KK in the next few weeks... we could visit some family out there too! What time do you guys usually meet up?

Thank you all!!

We're actually meeting in the far northeast corner of the mall parking lot just a few hundred feet away from Krispy Kreme. People usually start trickling in around 6:30 and hang out until 8 or 9.

Hope to see you there some time!

Hellova find! Congrats to ya! Someday they will finally make it to TX. I was curious was your Xb a 5 spd or auto. I am still holding out on the idea that the first 5 spd is out there... yeah I'm a dreamer.

I am holding on to the idea that the RS1's for gulf states toyota will come through the Houston Ship Channel... which I am less than 50 miles from.

Thanks Radiodude and all!

We have an auto tranny... call me lazy... but we just like to cruise in the box.
Just waiting for the wheels to come in.. decided on 5Zigen 18-inch.

I'll post some pics when the wheels are mounted.

Florida will, TX is a different region and has a different port.

I'm in Spring... 3.5 miles west of I-45 on FM 2920. Scion RS1 order from gullo scion in conroe... 5spd baby!

So far first two spotted were autos I wonder if that #3 was an auto too? You think there is any truth to the low numbers being autos theory?

Not trying to perpetuate stuff just maybe a coinicdence. So IS HSC the port for gulf states toyota?
