From time I was young kid I loved big tonka trucks, Jeeps, running over and through crap, but also loved sports cars. I want both! The hate for Jeep owners because they don’t always off-road has always confused me. Mustang and Camaro owners buy V8 engines, necessary? Nope, but fun. Do they all track? Nope. Are they less than if they don’t? Nope. I hate tire covers, and I agree some Jeep owners are d-bags with certain covers, stickers, winches they have. But I love mine and certainly won’t apologize for being a proud owner. Just like if I become 86 owner, won’t apologize either regardless of what s*** talkers say about torque dip.
Well Extra was just being Extra he is actually a good guy and you get used to his manner. Jordan loves to get people worked up and it succeeded. He also isn't so bad once you understand that. The others were really just bantering.

As far as the rest goes there are many that know the 86 is just a good little car and others that think it is the greatest thing ever made and take anything that can be interpreted as a slam straight to heart. Some others have an impression that they should be getting an $60K muscle car with all the abilities of a sports car for $25K. They then want to be able to sell it a year later for $28K because they are bored and want to go to something else. Don't be fooled by the race car talk on here all the time. The vast majority of the driver don't ever see the track and a good amount of the performance "upgrades" never see any real world use no matter how much some talk about them. In other words it is just about the same as any other car forum out there.
