I want to give you so many props for saying the name as two syllables rather than three.

As in Toyota 86'd the FR-S name in North America and went with the model name 86.

It looks like it should have one headlight until after you win a race, then you install the other one.

BTW, it sounds like a chain saw that's been sitting with stale fuel in it for a few years.

It's not a nickname since 2017. It's the actual name of the Toyota car. The official name is Toyota 86.

You could really confuse them next time and say you have a hachi roku

My local dealer still has a 860 Special Edition in the show room feet away from the parts counter and it still took me several minutes to explain to the guy what car I had. Funnily, I made sure to call it an "eight six" and he said, "you mean eighty six?" and I was like, "sure." Then of course he was like, "okay, a 1986 what?" Argh!
