This has happened twice now... anybody else?
 
I've had two random people that asked me why there's a swastika on my fender... anybody else? I tell them it's an "86" but they can't see it.

rofl. some people must be imagining swastikas in a lot of places then. Were those old dudes?

Has not happened to me, although a few folks asked me what it was.

Just reply with a simple "Nine!" and go about your business!

Its visible in the "86" portion of the badge; however, that's still a stretch of the imagination. It's almost like saying the Microsoft Windows logo has one...

StuttterButtter 05-18-2012 12:50 PM

Thats kinda funny IDK what i would do if some walked up and asked that.

eikond 05-18-2012 12:56 PM

shave your head and get a couple tattoos.. then people won't ask anymore.

Lonewolf 05-18-2012 12:57 PM

Yeah, when I look for it, I guess the 86 does look a little bit like a highly slanted and stylized swastika, but its a stretch.

86'd 05-18-2012 12:57 PM

To be honest (and I'm not going to draw it out) it's pretty funny how it looks like one.

I personally love the badge though; It's one of my favorite part of mein...er my future car.


:D

I can't either. I didn't know that until I read this. While I know about the car, I don't know it's history. I just assumed it was some abstract Scion logo.
