Anybody notice the window is cracked open then automatically closes to release cabin pressure as he shuts the door? Kinda cool.

Very excited to see this video after work.
Spritually it's inspired by the hachiroku but technically the name is based on the bore x stroke engine spec 86x86 mm (that's why it's on that piston emblem) which could be pronounced "eighty-six."
