Love the Bus. :)

My old AE86:

It wasn't a really defining car for me. But it was one of the more fun cars I've owned.

Wow, what are the chances that the 2nd post author would have a support vehicle similar to my "Bondo Condo". I was originally shopping for an ambulance, but I wanted more room so I went with a shuttle bus instead. I've been kind of wanting an ambulance still, though, hehe. You can check out the Bondo Condo build here:

So that makes two previous AE86 owners. There must be more, right!?!

I had an AW, but not an AE. That was a fun car.

Just need an FX16 owner to pop in and we'll have the 4a drivetrain trifecta.

I was thinking about getting a tow vehicle so I could do some more agressive modding to the WRX. Then one day I was driving to a dealership to pick up parts for work and I saw the ambulance sitting on a used car lot. I immediately thought "that would be an EPIC tow vehicle!" and pulled in. It has either 200K or 300K miles (probably 300K) and they wanted $5K. I offered $3K and they said no. So I walked.

Zip ahead a month and a half and I'm driving past the same lot and it's still there. I walk in and say "So, how do you feel about $3K now?" and they sold it to me. :)

It has a lot of issues, and rust, so I'm not sure just how much money I want to put into it. But it hauls the car, carries all my tools, and gives me a place to shack out on 2-day events. So it's a keeper for the near future at least. :)

I had an 86 back in the late 80's before they became so popular. Back then, it was just another cheap import turd lol. At the time, I hated it and I would much rather had a 5.0 Mustang or an IROC.

I had an 85 hatchback. I sold it on the move to CA 3 1/2 years ago.

Still have the WRX wagon. It's my DD.

After moving to CA I sold the car to a buddy in Austin TX who had a Levin coupe. He then had both of the Levin's in Austin. But about a month later this happened:

I also recently offloaded my 89 240 hatch. I'm waiting impatiently for the FRS to come out.

Had a 1985 GT-S that was sold last year.

Not I!

I've only owned Toyota trucks and SUV's. 4Runner, Taco, FJC, and Land Cruisers.

I had an 1985 GT-S Coupe long time ago... i was trying to build it in my back yard but that was before i had money and resources.... im considering this 86 build to finish what i couldn't even begin to start back then :) Cant wait to get in a frs!:w00t:

terrypm & ESBjiujitsu, no photos?

Aonarch, I am cracking up that you replied in this topic to tell us that you HAVEN'T owned an AE86. :) But since you are obviously a Toyota-head you earned it.

I should also post that my AE86 has a bit of a history with the drift community. It was Tony Angelos car at one point. I heard they jumped train tracks with it amongst other stories. When it died there was a thread on Ziptied called "death of a legend."

not sure if i'm going to buy a new FRS/BRZ, but i plan to have one (maybe) someday. haha.

Here's my 20v GTS Coupe:

I have an AE86 at the moment. Its actually Taka Aono's old car that he won two national championships with in SCCA. I want to get a FR-S, but I really shouldn't.
