I'm sorry *if* I made anybody in here feel BAD about the car. That was never my intention. I was just trying to express my frustrations with certain aspects about the FT86 platform in the most spontaneous way. Not always a good thing. (:
I LIKE this car. I tell everybody I know who has one that it was a GOOD purchase. I know that only true "gear heads" would drive this car long term. I plan on keeping it LONG TERM. Honestly, there was a big part of me that agreed with the review by Dezoris because it hit home in many ways. I could have just as easily bought something else, but this was the most unadulterated car I could find in the price range that would be easily suitable for modding without feeling bad about how much money I spent at the end of the day. I could have easily bought a Cobra and been happy with the way it was from the factory, but where is the fun in that?
Anyways, before anybody labels me an asshole for life (I hope not, lol).. I just wanted to clear this up.
