I went to school for car design from 2000-2004. In 2003, Toyota sponsored our senior thesis, and I proposed a modern day 86, which went over extremely well. (here's one of the original ideation sketches for my 86 proposal.)

In 2017, my dad was looking for a car to replace his 2004 Chrysler Crossfire 6-speed. I had recommended an 86 twin, and wanting to make sure his was special, he reserved a series.yellow BRZ when it was announced, and picked it up during the week of his 68th birthday. It was the first one sold in Wisconsin.
Since I'm a wheel designer, he picked up some Rotiform KPS (my design) as summer wheels, and installed them with Michelin Pilot Sports.

That October, I was planning a trip to Japan, and asked if he wanted to come along. I rented a new Toyota 86 while there, and after driving it to numerous touge around Japan, fell in love with it, and knew I had to get one.

I had a very comfortable budget to work with, so I wanted the best example of an 86 twin I could get. I purchased my Crystal black Silica tS one year and two weeks after my dad got his series.yellow. I got it in black to match the 86 I rented in Japan, so every time I looked at it, I'd remember the trip we went on together.

This thread will cover both cars as we mod and drive them.
