Smacking a curb was a twist.

The shortest travel story ever.

"Adventure called, and my travel partner - a 2017 Toyota 86 - answered. Energized by the sport coupe's perfect balance, telepathic steering, and uncanny handling, I buckled up for anything and everything and hit the road.

No literally.

The End."

The amazing part is he can put his hands right on anything you ask for! I was actually very impressed.

Wow! I should post up a picture to show the similarity; right down to the yellow air hose and blue jugs.

I did too!

I'm a functional hoarder. :(

No offense even with my 16s and shitty stock tires, it looks like you have the trd wheels which are bigger than my 16s this car is extremely controllable in the wet.

BTW, is there any recommendation for body shop in seattle area? It looks like dealers are no longer do the body work.

I would not expect the color to be the same. My Halo lost a driver side front fender to a drunk guy driving a golf cart (at a vintage motorcycle festival, I would NEVER play golf) When I went to pick up my car from the on-site Toyota body shop the manger's first words were "I was amazed at how close our guy got the color" Huh? this is a new car, no fading, you use Toyota paint right? (wrong) I assumed it would NOT be close, I thought it would be perfect......exact, -I was wrong. Blah, blah, blah matching paint is an art form, not perfect science. I guess I understand. I've never been in an accident or had a body repair done before.....and I'm old. I'm disappointed. If this thing didn't take such a huge hit in depreciation the first year I would probably swap it for the Battleship Grey Focus RS that has been collecting dust at my local Ford dealership, they cant give that thing away.
