My first car. Wrecked it. Fixed it. Killed it. RIP, trusty little machine.

I believe that color is called "bile."

Is that @Tcoat standing there admiring the car whilst holding a measuring tape??

Love the colour!

I had gotten a quote to have my black 86 wrapped in gloss BRG, but at almost $3000 well... it's still black.

Yep, that was my college car as well, and the first car I ever purchased that cost more than $1,000. Like @ermax Dad, I regret ever having sold it.


With the rear seats down, you could cram 10 fraternity pledges in it, drive them 20 miles, have them piss on a rival college's sign and safely return home....or at least I'm told....

This the first time a new 86 really has my interest and would actually consider going away from Hot Lava. Wished the interior door trim and dash was a little spruced up, maybe similar to the dash from that catfish looking 86 that was made for women.

Indeed. For those who haven't seen Templar's:

Effeminate? Designed for women?


It was actually designed and marketed at an incredibly sexist level!https://jalopnik.com/redesigned-japa...r-w-1685405826

My first car was green too. Looked something like this. Paid $850 for it. Wrecked it drag racing in the rain.

Is Ugly and bland.

It's not sexist to target a product at women, though it can be done in a sexist way. I'm not sure of the last time tampons were marketed at me.

Also a lot of ads targeting women involve toughness and an anti-traditional-feminine vibe. This is partly why, even though little girls love princesses, but by the time they hit upper elementary, they think princesses and dresses are lame.
