Hey, back in the 70s, I got plenty of pleasure from driving my BRG machine -

I remember back in CT, I took this female co-worker a ride in the countryside in my BRG machine and we stopped along this shaded, dead end road and ….. oh, nevermind ….

I'm afraid the shade reminds me of a 1970s bathroom suite...

Snapped some pics at a Toyota dealership today. Hakone edition? Meh. I have more pics to share if anyone is interested, but... meh?

The Supra reminded me yet again that the 86/BRZ has its brake calipers in the wrong positions. But the pictured 86 is automatic just like the Supra... how exciting...

It’s ok if you both had punched out and off the company clock.

I can see the orange peel in the paint from a mile away on that 86.

Being in NorCal, I was trying to figure out which dealership that is. Unfortunately I don't recognize their paper plate, nor can I read it.

It was Concord Toyota

Has anyone here purchased one of these?
Curious to know what dealers are asking for them. I realize that the OTD price will vary state to state with taxes, stealership doc fees, registration and title fees, and dealer add-ons.

Still available:https://www.obrienautogroup.com/vehi...ZNAE16L8750207 Good price if you live in Oregon, no sales tax and a low doc fee.

My daughter, who lives in FL, purchased a Toyota Highlander from this dealer last year. They do not charge a doc fee, but for comparison you should always use the total OTD price.

Nothing official yet on Toyota's website on 2020 86 rebates; but according to this website, dependent on your area, you may be eligible for these rebates: https://www.autobytel.com/toyota/86/2020/incentives/

I think this is more like a Turkish Racing Turquoise coloulour..

Yes there no such thing. But I have hope, we will do it some day

So... I posted here earlier that I claimed dibs on the first Hakone coming in to my local dealership. I told my guy at the dealership in a VERY CLEAR WAY that I absolutely DID NOT want holes drilled in the front bumper.

So, fast forward to just now. My guy at the dealership calls me, falling all over himself apologizing, because they got two Hakones yesterday, the manual one with my name on it, and an automatic. Guess which front bumper they drilled? Yep, not the automatic.

So, I'm going to get a Hakone that's coming in the next allocation (in about a month). This works better for me anyway, as I'll be in a better position to make the purchase at that point anyway. It's just a bit frustrating.

Anyway, here it is if you want it!
