I've thinned out my Facebook to people I would actually still talk to in person and only add people that I've met in person a couple times. I stay pretty current with the forums I'm active on so I don't need it to spill over to Facebook too.

Just as I thought.


I use Facebook for family but I'm not against joining a group.

I'm on FB and have about 588 people but really hang out with 20-30 on a regular basis. The rest are people that I've met in person and shot with shit or distant cousins with either my mom's last name or my last name.

Is there an acutual FT86club FB page?

Funny thing is... that website took some of this website's info and cropped out the FT86club.com on the bottom off and post it on theirs.

Lol

The fact that you're pushing for this so hard is kind of creepy. Why couldn't you just upload the photo of your problem on this forum?

People don't see my point or get where I'm coming from about the car. They're being squeamish/fixated on the personal politics of fb.

On a tangent, does anybody look at the community of owners as part of the ownership experience/value of owning a car?

I can see what you mean, but i guess of the privacy most of us have it might take awhile for something like this to kick off. Maybe after a couple of months/meets then it would be more reasonable.

I've subscribed to another MR2 fanpage similar to what you are trying to create with this ft86 craze, but like i said. It wont really kick off util this car is released and people start playing/messing/destroying this car.

But to answer your last question, i think the ownership community CAN play a role in ownership experience and value with car enthusiasts such as ourselves. I think thats why some of us wouldnt jump first at civics because of the ownership community. So hopefully the ricer:enthusiast ratio stays low (1:100) enough to keep this community fresh and optimistic.
