Yeah, it was the same for me as well. The dealer told me it was because of the tsunami that hit Japan and a greater market for the 250 rather than the 350. I only had one choice available when I purchased mine.

I just think being able to meet up and chill would be cool! I saw a really clean sc300 in lakeway today garnet pearl in color like mine. Had a bodykit and wheels. Looked really clean. Anyway, If we can meet at frys that would be cool during the meet. Also if its a matter of meeting before then thats also cool too.. I would like to do whatever..

Yes, north and east. It's pretty much Arkansas. Curious if anyone can recommend an independent mechanic/performance shop in the area. My research on the local dealer's service department is yielding mixed reviews, and I'd like to try to find a viable alternative. Thanks in advance.

I went to one, or dropped by. I met a guy racing on north 1325. Nothing much was going on out there, just sitting around, so I bailed. I drove around for an hour. When I came back, about ten cars were leaving, so I followed, and they drove pretty normal, kinda boring. I haven't gone back since. But I'd meet up.

Agreed.

As for a meet, I'm in Avery Ranch, but love to drive around...... so let me know when & where! Just a thought: There's good eating and scenery around the Hill Country Galleria....and it's a fun drive out there - whether coming from the North (620) or the South (Bee Cave or 71).

Thoughts?
