I am shocked to hear that the car, as it was when you decided to spend tens of thousands of your own hard earned dollars (even if they are imaginary/canadian), was something you liked.


I bet you are a left twix guy aren't you? ... totally disgusting. Right twix 100%.

I like the taillights that my car came with best.
-every 86 twin owner.

Also, I've been noticing two things about FT86club.
1.) It's more active than the vast majority of surviving forums out there.
2.) By the fourth page, whatever is being discussed no longer has anything to do with the title of the thread. lol

I don't see how a 3 pack of twix is not directly related to 8/6 day?

But that's the front?

I guess the Futura was really ahead of its time.
