The four holes in the "86" are supposed to symbolize the contact patches of four tires, not Zee Reich!

Hah, we talked about this a long time ago. It's like an optical illusion, sometimes it looks like a swastika, sometimes it doesn't.

Get out your tinfoil hats!

I kid.

But seriously, it's aliens.

Yeah, it'll cease to exist on future models most likely.

Personally I think it's a stretch and looking for something that isn't there.

Just reply that you are using it as a religious symbol, that's what it is anyways.

Exactly, it's been a religious symbol for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
