Yeah Australia and New Zealand are the two crazies I forgot about.

Technically a territory of the US I believe.

At least you met your daily douche quota.

Probably should've taken his advice and google "ft86" before getting so defensive.

"FT86" was the name given to the concepts/prototypes shown in Auto Shows before the final production versions (86, GT86, FRS, BRZ) came out. "FT" means "Future Toyota" and "86" suggests that this car follows the foot steps of the famed AE86 (google "Initial D")

Really, perform a few google searches, read up wikipedia entries on the origin of your car, and watch "Initial D", you'll have a much better understanding of how the car came to be, gain more appreciation for your car, and have a great time doing it.

Another possible origin is from the U.S. Navy's Allowance Type (AT) coding system used for logistic purposes. The allowance type code is a single digit numeric that identifies the reason material is being carried in stock. Throughout the life-cycle of a warship, many pieces of equipment will be upgraded or replaced, requiring the allowance of onboard spare parts associated to the obsolete equipment to be disposed of. The AT code assigned to parts designated for disposition is AT-6.

However, the Court in these cases also established the Territories of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, under which the Constitution applies fully only in incorporated territories such as Territory of Alaska - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and Territory of Hawaii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and applies only partially in the new unincorporated territories of Puerto Rico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, Guam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and the Philippines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I actually learned more from this thread than most of the n00b threads. Nice work, n00b.

That's why I said google. Much easier to search the topic you are looking for. Just add ft86club to the end of your search criteria and more accurate results will come up.
