Anyone here use facebook?
 

Toyota has shown an element of love during the FT-86's development. It carries spirit and heritage in the details. When a leak thread is posted, pages of posts fill in minutes from a wide range of hardcore and casual enthusiasts, young and old. There's tremendous enthusiasm here (I don't see that in other forums).

FB is just another outlet to indulge ourselves with FT-86 knowledge/info in a more personal way. Call it "fanboyism" but it can be much greater than that (I started a FB thread like this in the MR2 forum which boosted the health of the community! Live feeds of owners' rides, parts swapping, spontaneous meet invites, repair advice... but I digress).

A cult following is rising on this forum of personalities I can learn from or laugh at and I'd like to link with anyone who shares this strong interest (link in my sig); feel free to add me or post yours!

I use it for work too, search the official Supersprint facebook page, I'm the admin.

^Cool.

Anyone? Guess it's more reasonable to not make connections til AFTER the car comes out...

I thought we already had a topic about this.

Search yielded no relevant results... probably buried within a different topic.

We already have a topic about everything :bellyroll:

Probably the one about leaving Tesuya Tada a message on his Facebook. Nevermind then. Carry on!

I'm not cool enough to have one :(

I only add people I've met in person that are deemed "cool" and not "creepy."

Although I won't mind "liking" a fan page or joining a "FT86club" group.

What about me, Giccin? Am I cool enough for the cool kids club.

You're in the cool kids club.

Has a membership fee of catching 2trollololnubs a week though and posting memes and lolcats.

I would rather not integrate my real life with my online life. People will meet up throught the regional forums here.

Kinda reminds me of my G35 forum. Not too big on FB the only people I added were those I met at a big regional meet lol

But with the MR2 crowd there's over 50+ of us friended not all of us have met. Everyone knows someone who has met anyone else though (1 degree of separation) so we take care of each other.

Back when the MkII Concept was revealed I posted it to my FB and an MR2 guy schooled my Subie buddy from college about how it's physically impossible for the FT-86 to have a front differential and be AWD (nice FT86 discussion on my wall feed). Another shared info on where I can always pass smog no matter what's under my hood lol and another posted all the E85 ethanol pump stations in my area. If someone runs into a problem when working on their car... upload a pic to FB (problem solved).

It's one of the best ways I like to use FB so I thought this thread would have some meaning. And I'm pretty lenient with who I add on my FB because I maintain it as a space that's separate from my true personal life/friends (who aren't big on FB). It does have little kid relatives, professors, former colleagues, etc. so I have to keep it tactful.


Hah that sounds familiar. I've actually added Tada-san on FB on the grounds that I used to work in a Toyota plant. The Toyota Production System is quite something.

I'm one of the few who still (and always will) refuse to use Facebook and others.
