24 hours before the Scion "Road to SEMA" FR-S was to be placed inside the Las Vegas Convention Center for the 2012 SEMA Show, it was being flogged by Matt Farah. Being one of the hardest working journalists in the automotive industry, Matt is the on-air automotive correspondent for G4 TV's Attack of the Show, and for good reason. Matt has had much success with his own online blog, The Smoking Tire, in addition to co-hosting The Car Show on Speed TV with Adam Carolla and Dan Neil.

Roger Garbow and I (Team Hardcore - a nickname given to us courtesy of Matt) had just driven 16 hours straight through the night from Frederick, Colorado, experiencing weather conditions ranging from snow, rain, frigid temperatures and everything in between, in order to be in Pahrump, NV (yes, that is the actual name of the town) at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch by high noon so that Matt could test the "Road to SEMA" FR-S against a stock one.

Needless to say we arrived early, the test went off without a hitch, and the car performed well. You'll have to watch the segment to see...

Is it really the end of the road? Technically, yes as we handed the keys to the Road to SEMA Scion FR-S back to its first dad, Steve Jardine. However, this project will live on as a testament to what a few car guys can do when they put their minds together (and manage not to kill each other.) And, also as a visual reminder of what Car Guy Nation represents: The Automotive Lifestyle. Being a car guy is about cool stuff and things. But it’s also about places, and experiences and most importantly, people.

Roger Garbow, Steve Jardine and Allan Greenfield reprise their shot from the FR-S launch event. The little Scion appears none the worse for wear.

Like the good folks at Classic Car Club Manhattan, who offered to host a little soiree for us where we could reunite Steve with the car and let some of CCC’s members hear of our daring exploits on our journey across the US. For those that don’t know them, here’s the official scoop on Classic Car Club:

Started in London, 1995, Classic Car Club is the first club of its kind to give members the keys to the most staggeringly stylish fleet of cars ever assembled. Today, Classic Car Club locations can be found throughout Europe, with our two Manhattan locations paving the way for many Classic Car Clubs to launch throughout America, including Los Angeles, Miami, and other cities opening soon. Whether it be modern supercars or vintage cruisers, Classic Car Club Manhattan has the right ride for you. But there’s so much more to Classic Car Club than just driving the cars. We are a private club with a network of members that share in the excitement of all sorts of events, from weekend rallies, happy hours and special events at the club to shifts behind the wheel of our racecar and first-class travel to Formula 1 events around the world. www.classiccarclubmanhattan.com

New York hip meets Gasoline Alley. This is our kind of club!

I’ve known Classic Car Club Manahattan co-owners Michael Prichinello and Zac Moseley for a number of years. Both are serious car guys who really understand their clients and their business and have managed to keep it successful yet still fun. When you walk into their 10,000 sq ft SoHo clubhouse, you can’t help but be impressed. Great cars are parked throughout the main space while an elevated area houses the bar and member’s lounge. The space is so cool and unique, it’s no wonder it is one of the hottest venues in Manhattan for private events. The space can hold over 500 people, but we prefer less people and more cars.

Just a small sampling of the Classic Car Club Manhattan fleet. We want to drive them all!

They are constantly looking for new cars for their fleet, which ranges from vintage to modern and includes American muscle, European sports cars, luxury sedans and even track cars. Mercedes SLS or Audi R8? Sure. How about a 68 Charger or Shelby Cobra. Check. The cars reflect the diversity of their members and give clients the ability to drive great cars without the hassles of ownership and storage.

Like Car Guy Nation, Classic Car Club embodies the automotive lifestyle. And like us, Mike and Zac really enjoy the crazier side of car enthusiasm. As we did this past year, we look forward to meeting them again on the track in the 24 Hours of LeMons. Since they recently wrote off their coolest LeMons car – a rotary-powered lightweight Opel GT – we’ll have to wait and see what they show up with next. But, we know it won’t be boring.

Car meets motorcycle. Massive fun ensues.

Adding more fun to the evening, our good friend and serious car guy Alex Roy came by with his new Morgan 3-wheeler. Alex holds the record for crossing the US by car in 31:04, set in 2006 with co-driver David Maher in a BMW M5. Being the good and generous sort that he is, Alex tossed me the keys to the Morgan. Powered by a Harley Twin, the Morgan is not really a car, but it sure as hell is a ton of fun. Blasting past cabs and drifting around NYC streets has never been more enjoyable than in the Morgan. I want one. Really, really badly.

SEMA is short for the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association. Which means nothing to most people. The name comes from the organization's roots in the truck, hot rod and drag racing areas. Today, SEMA represents what we broadly call the automotive aftermarket. The aftermarket represents anything and everything you can do to a car to modify or improve it to suit your needs or creative desires. Aftermarket upgrades include everything from the wheels, tires and exhaust, to seat covers and HID lighting. SEMA and some of its exhibitors are part of the Automotive Lifestyle we represent at Car Guy Nation.

A Karmann Ghia? A Boxster? Both, actually.

It's SEMA. Which means a generous helping of eye candy. Not that we are complaining.

The SEMA Show is held annually during the first week of November in Las Vegas. Since many of the thousands of vehicles on display feature outlandish paint and clownish wheels, it is appropriate that Halloween fell during this year's show.

An excellent marriage of new and old. A German restomod!

Our Road to SEMA Scion FR-S was one of dozens of modded FT86s on display. Along with the ever-popular Ford Mustang, the FR-S was the most numerous car at the show and was selected as the SEMA Import car of the Year. The FT86 variants spanned the full spectrum of mild to wild with ours falling somewhere in the middle. But, while some didn't even have working drivetrains and needed to be pushed into place, ours was not only drivable, but it was thoroughly proven during its 3000-mile odyssey to the show.

I would drive this car every day. It reminds me of the much-coveted Ford RS200.

In addition to the FT86 twins, there were as always, some interesting project cars on display. Peter Brock brought his beautifully executed 1972 Datsun 510 with its aluminum Chevy small block. And, there was a red convertible that looked like a Karmann Ghia, but a bit off. It turns out it was a 2001 Porsche converted into a Karmann Ghia. Which was strangely very cool. The resto-mod craze was fully displayed, but one of our favorites was the 1971 Mercedes 280SE with a 5.4 liter AMG mill stuffed under the hood. 25 years ago I owned a '72 280SE, which burned more oil than gas. If my Benz had this engine, it would probably still be parked in my garage today.

This spectacular 1955 T-Bird was the 2012 Ridler Award Winner. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are so far over the top, even the cattle were honored to be part of the interior.

All in all, this year's SEMA gathering showed the auto aftermarket and street performance markets are not only alive, but growing. The industry is embracing new marques alongside the standard bearers to support enthusiasts who want to fully enjoy the automotive lifestyle. Sounds like a healthy Car Guy Nation to us.

When we were looking for a car for a SEMA build, we quickly decided upon the Scion FR-S. The FR-S embodies practically everything a car enthusiast loves: rear wheel drive, a proper six-speed manual transmission, a short shifter, low weight and supportive seats.  And its affordable, too.

A gold FR-S outside

We felt the FR-S was a modern interpretation of the Datsun 240Z, a car that to this day still evokes smiles from those who were fortunate to drive one of the originals. After our 3,000 mile journey across the US, we arrived at SEMA to discover something very interesting. A lot of other people shared our love for the FR-S. The FR-S and its BRZ sister car are the most popular cars at the show this year with upwards of 40 variants on display. Of course, none of those other project cars was put through the paces like ours: 3,000 miles and two track tests on its way to the Las Vegas Convention Center.

A serious track-ready FR-S in the Scion booth

On the opening day of the show, we heard from so many people about how cool they thought our project was. One of our partners in the project, David Borla of Borla Exhaust said our Road to SEMA FR-S generated the most interaction and content of any project they been involved with. Eibach’s Tony Jackson loved the way we proved the drivability and performance of the Eibach Pro-Kit in such a way that consumers could really relate. Eibach talks about the versatility of their springs, but we proved it.

What the FR-S?

The heavily trafficked position of our FR-S between the North and Central Halls at SEMA is providing high visibility for Car Guy Nation and all of our partners. The best part is the reaction we get when we tell people about the 3,000-mile drive. One guy asked, “but, why?”  The answer is three-fold. 1) No one else was doing it. 2) We wanted to show off the car and prove the reliability and drivability of the modifications. 3) And, we’re a little bit crazy.

Trailer? We don't need no stinkin' trailers.

When asked if we’re driving it back, Allan and I respond in unison, “we’re not THAT crazy.”

Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch has a very nice setting... in the mountains!

As track junkies, handling was a priority when planning the build of our Road to SEMA Scion FR-S. With lightweight TSW Interlagos wheels, sticky Vredestein Ultrac Vorti tires and Eibach Pro Kit performance springs, our FR-S is a blast to drive. But, instead of just taking our word for it, we wanted an independent and notoriously tough judge to test the car. So, we called Matt Farah, founder and host of The Smoking Tire, host of DRIVE:Tuned and co-host of the The Car Show on Speed. Matt is also the auto host for G4TV's Attack of the Show. Man, he’s a busy guy…

Matt goes for the hoon, while Zack goes for the shot. So, who's the crazier one?

The plan was to meet Matt and his crew at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, NV, where he would compare our car to a stock FR-S. Matt loves the stock car, so we knew it was going to be a tough competition. Our original route had us leaving Stapp Interstate Scion in Frederick, CO at 8pm on Thursday and doing the 800-mile drive to Spring Mountain to arrive by noon on Friday.  We would have time for a short hotel stop along the way to catch some rest. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans. An early season snowstorm made Route 70 impassable through Vail, so we had to divert south through New Mexico. This added nearly 300 miles to the trip and cancelled our planned rest stop. But, as someone at the show noted, "you guys are hardcore," so, we pushed through. We still drove through snow for about three hours, and while it may have slowed us a bit, it was not enough to stop us. Side note to the folks at Vredestein: These are the best street tires I have ever driven on! They are outstanding in the dry and wet, and are certainly not designed for cold temps and snow, but they were simply amazing in the nasty conditions we saw. Thank you!

Yes, that's a Tarantula. And yes, it's flipping off Matt.

Shortly before dawn during the overnight drive, we pulled off the highway somewhere in Eastern Arizona to stretch our legs and water the sand. With zero light pollution and no buildings or trees, the sky was truly spectacular. Millions of stars stretched from horizon to horizon. It reminded me of why travel by car is always better than air travel. After the brief respite, we jumped back in the FR-S for the push to Pahrump.

We rolled into Spring Mountain at 11am, an hour ahead of schedule, which gave us time to clean up the Scion. After the 16-hour non-stop drive, the car was filthy to say the least. Mitch at Spring Mountain couldn't have been more gracious. He set us up with everything we needed to get the FR-S back to photo-ready condition. After a quick wash with a pressure washer, we broke out the products from Adam's Car Care. From windows and the matte vinyl wrap to the tires and wheels, we had the car standing tall in no time. Another note: Adam's Super VRT Tire and Trim Dressing comes out of the bottle thick, so it is much easier to apply. No drips and it goes where you want it. Smart.

Roger, Matt and Allan. We had been up for 36 hours at this point. Hence the dark glasses.

So how did Matt like the car? You'll have to tune into Attack of the Show or go to TheSmokingTire.com to find out. But, it was our first time at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. What a phenomenal facility! Nestled against a backdrop of beautiful mountains, this place is a paradise for car guys and we definitely want to come back. For our purposes, we drove the 1.5 course, which is one of 28 possible configurations. This course is technical and fun and well suited to the FR-S. On the track, the Eibach springs had the car flat in the corners and the Rotary Forged TSW wheels kept the unsprung weight down, aiding acceleration and braking. The car was so predictable to drive and handled every turn and transition with ease. Did I mention how much grip the tires have? Wow!

Thanks to the folks at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch for their warm hospitality which extended beyond the desert temps. With the weather turning colder back east, we need to figure an excuse to get back Spring Mountain this winter. Any excuse will do. Suggestions?

Leaving Cincinnati, OH, on Tuesday morning, we aimed the FR-S west toward Colorado, with a quick stop in Indianapolis, IN. Our destination? The Hall of Fame Museum at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Indy is a serious must-see for any car guy or motorsports fan and we couldn’t pass it up. In spite of the rain, we were able to drive on the brickyard. Unfortunately, the security guys at the track were unmoved by our pleas to take the FR-S onto the famed race circuit, so we had to settle for a ride in a IMS van. Still, pretty cool. We even got to kiss the (very wet) bricks at the start/finish line.

Car Guy Nation at the Brickyard

The museum itself holds a treasure trove of historic racecars, both from Indy and other racing venues. Andy Granatelli’s 1969 STP-sponsored winning car piloted by Mario Andretti sat alongside racers driven by Mark Donohue, Jim Clark, the Unsers, Rick Mears, etc…  all in one place. A sobering moment was seeing Dan Weldon’s 2011 500 winner parked alongside the 1911 winner. Other vehicles on display include Craig Breedlove’s Spirit of America Sonic 1 and a very cool 1957 SSI Corvette.

Mario's 1969 winning car

1957 Corvette SSI. Roger wants this. Really badly.

We left Indy and spent the next day and a half driving the 1100 miles to Frederick, CO with a layover in Kansas City. Note to other road-trippers: Kansas is really wide, really flat and really boring. Sorry Kansans. Arriving in Colorado on Wednesday eve, we were welcomed by snow. Oh joy. Fortunately, it was not sticking on the road surfaces, but looked good on the FR-S. On Thursday morning we left our Colorado hotel and headed to Adam’s Premium Car Care. Adam is one of the most fun and passionate car guys we ever met. Look for an upcoming post on Adam and his merry band of car care elves.

At Stapp Interstate Scion

Checking out the FR-S

On Thursday evening, we were greeted by a very enthusiastic crowd at Stapp Interstate Toyota/Scion in Frederick. Owner Art Stapp has been a Toyota dealer since 1974 and his success is attributed to an emphasis on customer service. The dealership had some very cool cars parked out front showcasing their history: a Corona, an original FJ, an old Land Cruiser and a couple of modified Supras. Art and his entire staff made us feel very welcome. Especially Jacquelyn Branch who went above and beyond in organizing the event. Thank you Jacquelyn! With the cold temps outside, we were glad the event was held in the showroom where the FR-S was prominently displayed on the Race Ramps.

The happy winner of a set of Hawk brake pads.

The crowd was the largest of our dealer visits and the dealership was decorated with balloons and tables, while a DJ spun the tunes and a local rib-house supplied the food. There were giveaways and goodie bags, too! The attendees were very excited to talk to us and hear about the journey and some even asked for our autographs!

Roger and Allan addressing the crowd.

As the evening wound down, we packed up for the final leg of our journey. We headed out at 8pm faced with a daunting trip ahead…

Update from the road

Car Guy Nation Scion Road to SEMA launch party at Johnston's Toyota Scion

With two dealer events down, the Scion Road to SEMA FR-S is performing flawlessly! Even through a heavy rainstorm, the FR-S is unflappable while the seats are proving to be very comfortable and supportive for long stints behind the wheel.

We started our journey at Johnstons Toyota/Scion in New Hampton, NY. Dealer principal Steve Jardine made it a festive event as the day marked his 30th year at the dealership. You don't look that old, Steve! A local rock radio station, WRRV supplied the tunes with a live broadcast and the catered food kept the attendees fed. The enthusiastic crowd loved taking pictures with the FR-S while Steve posed for pictures with the drivers. This was the first showing of the FR-S with the wrap completed and graphics in place. The roof box gave the car a more serious appearance as it was now fully prepped for the journey.

(Left to Right) Roger Garbow and Allan Greenfield of Car Guy Nation stand with Steve Jardine of Johnston's Toyota Scion to kick off the Scion Road to SEMA cross country drive.

Johnstons had a nice range of cars on display both in the showroom and outside, giving the attendees a chance to look at the full line of cars available. As we pulled away, beginning our trip west, Steve shot some video to commemorate the event.  All in all it was great afternoon and a fitting send-off.

What are two crazy car guys doing driving across the country?  This sign tells it all.

The trip to Cincinnati, Ohio was our first test of the long range practicality of the FR-S and it impressed us with the drive-ability and fuel economy. Even loaded down and carrying the roof box and cruising at 75mph, the FR-S is returning 25 mpg. Pulling up to Kings Scion was a real eye-opener. The dealership features the largest showroom we have ever seen. Kings can put 175 cars in the showroom while still leaving aisles big enough to pull cars in and out. We joked about them doing test drives in the show room during bad weather.

Car Guy Nation Scion Road to SEMA King's Scion in Cincinnati, OH.  Their showroom has room for 175 cars and still space to drive them in and out, amazing!

Hanging out with the staff at King's Scion in Cincinnati, OH.

After giving the FR-S a good cleaning, we put it on display right in front of the showroom, with one side of the car up on the race ramps for a more dramatic display. The DJ set up nearby while the food and drinks were put out adjacent to some cool Scion giveaways (aka swag). As the light began to fade, enthusiasts started to show up to see the car in person. Some had heard about the event through social media and others through Kings own marketing efforts. The attendees were both knowledgable and enthusiastic. Some came in their personal FR-Ss while others were seeing an FR-S for the first time. When the food was gone and the crowd began to disperse, we knew it was time to pack up for the next leg of our epic journey. The #RoadtoSEMA continues!

With our Scion Road to SEMA FR-S journey beginning on Saturday, October 20, this week we’re focused on the finishing touch: The exterior wrap. The crew at James Tint in Middletown, NY are expertly transforming the exterior of our Scion FR-S from Hot Lava to matte black and white. This dramatic look will give the car a more impactful presence both on the road and as a Feature Vehicle in the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

James Lafollette has a long history wrapping race cars for everything from dirt tracks to GRAND-AM and ALMS. They will also install a windshield protective layer and tear-off to help the FR-S withstand the debris of a 2600-mile road trip.

The exterior will feature the logos of Car Guy Nation’s partner companies in the project: Scion, Johnstons Scion, Borla, Escort, Vredestein, TSW, Eibach, GoPro, Airaid, Katzkin, Race Ramps, Hawk, dba (Disc Brakes Australia), ADVENT, Auto Action, PIAA, Adams Premium Car Care, Rack&Go, Luna-C Clothing and Braille Battery. Each company and each product have added to the overall functionality, performance and comfort of the vehicle and we’ll be tweeting about the car and features along the route.

On October, 20 from 11am-1pm we’ll kick-of the trip with a consumer launch party at Johnstons Scion in New Hampton, NY. Johnstons and our host Steve Jardine will feature great food and a live radio broadcast as we show off the FR-S before its road trip. From Johnstons, drivers Roger Garbow and Allan Greenfield will drive to Cincinnati, OH for the next event at Kings Scion on October 22. Kings will feature more food and entertainment plus a demonstration from Ohio neighbor Escort Radar.

After Ohio, there is a long drive to Stapp Interstate Scion in Frederick, CO. Stapp is pulling out all the stops with a serious BBQ dinner and rocking DJ on October 25^th from 5-8pm. There’s no rest after the Frederick event as we have an 800-mile journey to Spring Mountain Raceway in Pahrump, NV where we’ll meet up with auto journalist Matt Farah. Matt will be putting the FR-S through some track and skid pad testing for an upcoming episode of Attack of the Show on G4TV.

On Saturday, October 26^th, the Scion Road to SEMA makes its final dealership appearance at Desert Scion in Las Vegas. From there, the FR-S gets loaded into the SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center where more than 100,000 show goers will get a chance to see a show car that has been seriously proven on the road. After we scrub the bugs off, of course.

Okay, that’s a crappy song. But, the point is most factory lighting is less than illuminating. In fact, you typically have to check the box for the expensive lighting upgrade to get decent performance out of the factory headlights. With a 2600-mile journey ahead for our Scion Road to SEMA FR-S, we wanted something more than the factory bulbs.

Stock housings

Ready for install...

So we turned to PIAA. PIAA supplied us with Night-Tech replacement headlight bulbs and their LP530 LED foglight kit. The stock bulbs are easy to replace and the new Night-Tech units are up to 90% brighter than factory bulbs. They also deliver a longer beam and whiter light. Cool. The fog lights proved a bit more challenging to install. The stock bumper housings are unique to the FR-S and did not allow for an easy fit. So, being the ingenious guy he is, Steve Jardine took to his favorite playground, the Internet, and found some cool carbon fiber FR-S foglight housings in Japan.

The bracket

After making some mounting brackets for the lights, the PIAA fogs fit nicely into the new housings and created a nice added feature to the front of the car. Great looks and performance in one package. With the roads we're traveling and expected weather conditions, the new lighting is going to be a welcome addition to the FR-S. Personally, I love seeing where I'm going.

Good looking and functional, too!

Many drivers will exceed the posted limit from time to time. And while there are certainly way too many reckless drivers on the road, serious car guys tend to take driving, well… seriously. When we drive we consider traffic, weather and visibility conditions and adjust our speed accordingly.

Faced with 2600 miles to cover in our Scion Road to SEMA FR-S across some very wide open country, we realized there will be times when the highway beckons. Being very fond of both our licenses and our wallets, we turned to Escort Radar to cover our backs (and fronts).

Personally I’ve been using Escort detectors for a long time: I bought my first one in 1982. And, I’ve been a huge fan ever since. For quality, performance and customer service, these guys are the best in business. So, we left it to the folks at Escort for a recommendation on the FR-S. They suggested their top-of-the-line 9500ci. The 9500ci is not your typical suction cup windshield mount unit. This full-featured unit is discreetly custom-installed and completely undetectable by most law enforcement radar detector detectors.

The mac daddy of installed radar detectors. The Escort 9500ci.

The 9500ci in our FR-S will give us front and rear all-band radar detection and laser shifters. Plus, it features Escort’s proprietary Traffic Sensor Rejection (TSR) software to eliminate false alerts. The 9500ci also comes pre-installed with Escort’s DEFENDER® Database - thousands of safety camera locations, including red light and speed-based cameras throughout North America. You can also download updates, back up your data, and stay on top of new threats directly from their website.

Escort recommends professional installation of the 9500ci, so we turned to the skilled technicians at Auto Action. Auto Action specializes in professional electronic installations for car dealers and they also installed our audio system so we were comfortable they would do it right.

With our journey set to begin in just a few days, we are looking forward to a trouble-free and now thanks to Escort, a ticket-free ride. Stay tuned to see how you can win an Escort radar detector of your own.
